English language

I am starting a project. A Word Project. These are some of the words I love:
-saucer
-duvet
-mumble

(to be honest, I am just in love with the word "saucer" these days. I had forgotten I know that word and I want to say it again and again. saucer.)

the nature of my OCD is the extreme anxiety that not having control over things (and especially the future) causes me.


but these days

I am learning

that some twists in life

are

actually good.

éramos salvajes
sin frenos para el amor

I have found a new pleasure in life


have I been wrong all this time?

thank you, Helen Fisher

"...and they would say yes as if I had asked them to pass the salt".

changed around the words that you said to suit me fine

I can explain..
I know it happened again,
It's manic.
I'm standing in the flame,
trying to fan it
(it will be out gone soon).

putting my sword down


I have always said that giving up is sometimes braver than continuing fighting. There are battles that are not worth the effort, but we don´t know until we have come this far. I think I have come this far to realise that there is no point in trying any further.
I give up. I put my sword down, with my head up high.

high on love


Dopamine.

It plays a key role in behaviour, cognition, voluntary movement, motivation and reward, sleep, mood, attention, creative thinking, and learning. It is "commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate a person proactively to perform certain activities". (wikipedia.org)



the princess and the warrior

I felt that if a person wasn't alone,
they might be able to find happiness in the outside world...


what planet do you come from anyway?

Egyptian view of the heart


"If it wandered - and it might - it was important to persuade it back into position: a heart in its place denoted good health". Young, L. The Book of the Heart, p.6.

nobody does it better

makes me feel sad for the rest
nobody does it quite as good as you
baby, you are the best.

injusticias

¿por qué todos los libros y películas y artículos sobre relaciones interpersonales, y especialmente las románticas, dan reglas a las mujeres sobre qué hacer?
no lo llames, no lo busques, no seas pushy, no hagas notar que quieres un compromiso, espera, sigue tu vida, se paciente, no te preocupes, se cab¨ona, no hagas un drama, no le preguntes qué le pasa, no le reclames nada, no le muestres tus sentimientos a la primera, etc etc etc.
Todos están basados en lo mismo: esta es la gran verdad y la mujer se debe atener a eso o quedarse sola de por vida. Ni modo, m´ijita, así es la realidad.

¿y qué reglas hay para el otro lado?
(qué fastidio)

an education


well, I do go to Oxford

but I am still the kind of girl who would fall for this kind of thing.
