Nelly's Rhapsody
y de todo un poco, mas que nada sentimientos, locuras, travesuras, aventuras...sabiendo hacia donde me dirijo, pero sin saber como llegare, ni a quien conocere...y desde que sepa, les explico...

it's that awesome sex you have that his laptop falls of the bed and neither of you flinch or care cause the sex is overwhelming; it's that moment at the opera when you see him walking towards you and he catches you spying on him and smiles and winks; it's when you both are exhausted and fall into bed and forget about the laundry in the dryer until it's midnight and realize that was the best short nap ever; it's when the day is so cold outside and we grab a drink at a random bar together; it's the bar food we eat all over town, happy to be stuffing our faces; it's laying in bed and just talking about meat-your favorite topic; it's the 1.30pm treats I drop off every day for you and the smile of appreciation you get when you see me; it's all the starbucks and the diner food and the fancy food and the endless nights; it's all this and more that altely has made me smile endlessly. <3

Autumn colors make me happy, specially when I can take in the colors and crisp smells.
Autumn colors make me breathe in and smile, specially when he tries to talks Spanish to me.
Autumn colors make me smile huge, because I am viewing something through new eyes.
Autumn colors make me laugh, out loud in the car, with you.
Autumn colors make me hungry, and we eat Mexican to satisfy our wants.
I love Autumn colors.

Loud Noises
i hate loud sounds, loud noises, loud voices. I hate them. I can't stand them and they are driving me crazy. It's like I need to pull each sound away from its source and drown it. Sounds that need not be loud, are magnified to eternity and makes me lose it. Honestly, a yawn is just a yawn. I live in a world where a yawn is a scream, a word is a smash and a sentence is a concert hall of rock music. I wonder why my head hurts all the time, I wonder why? The questions and answers, the keyboard and the signing, the water running over bodies of sex, I promise, I swear to whisper, to chase words out with whispers.
Silence is overrated. Until you don't ever get to enjoy it and them it turns into a mistfortune of habits, of drawers and doors opening and closing, of always needing something else after you're gone. I pretend, smile, and nod. I myself prefer to speak less, at times when i might want to speak but it gets to a point where i become overwhelmed. Like right now, it's dark and night and still the sounds, over the ear phones are there. How does this happen?
Sigh.

que pensaba?
Everything passes.
Nada en este mundo es eterno, nada es duradero. Todo termina, sea bien o mal.
Sin saber que tiempo tenemos, juntos y aqui, porque nos aferramos tanto a todo lo menos?
Alrededor de nosotros, porque no vivir sin aferrarnos a sentimientos ilusos,
no tengo la necesidad y a la vez, la tengo.
Es que, sin saber las personas llegan a tu vida,
sin pedirlo.
Sometimes, I wish life would ask me,
are you ready?
do you want to?
En serio que, estaria mejor preparada.
Ahora, solo quisiera tantas cosas y tan pocas a la vez.
Sin preocupaciones, soy mas feliz.
Y pensar que por mi mente paso,
que si el, no podria vivir.

Julie and Julia, Inspiration.
I just saw the movie Julie and Julia and I enjoyed it so much! It was such and amazing film, entertaining and all about what I adore: food and love. I had read the blog, read the book and now seeing the movie just put all the yyummy pieces together.
Julia Child was a mastermind, an American talent that needed and craved discovery and obtained through doing things that she loved. She did not stop at any hurtle, had no meltdowns and crisis (or so we guess). She was such a strong woman, one that in the time she was living, was ahead of her times, cooking at a french school, surrounded by french men. Daunting yes, even now.
Julie Powell was inspiring. At almost 30, she had no path in life. She had tried a bit of writing but never went through with it. Started to blog to save herself from drowing, started it to dedicate herself to something other than her government agency job, to save her from the rutines of playing house. And she made it. I just gave me so much hope, gave me time.
Julie was almost 30 and had just started to discover herself and when she finally did make that discovery, it was worth more than 30 years of life. It was worth it all, because her discovery changed her life dramatically for the better. So I ask myself, why I am rushing? Rushing to finish, to get there, to come back? Why am I rushing to realize, to love, to wonder, to save? I jsut realized that the journey is what is going to make this worth my time. That the journey to my discovery will be more appreciated than the discovery itself.
I feel rushed, I feel I am rushing myself to oblivion actually. I want to rush and finish my AOS, to start working, to move in somewhere alone; I'm rushing myself and forcing myself to find love, to find objects of satisfaction; I rushed out of home, away from family and friends because I guessed that the faster I got here, the faster I would be able to leave.
Stop rushing. Take a breath and move slowly. Slower. Sllooooooow down. NOW. Because if I don't slow down now, I am going to wake up 30 and with no discovery. I am going to realize that the journey was to rush to get...nowhere.
This is me slowing down. Doing the things I love with the people I adore around me; this is me writing more, singing more, cooking more, WRITING more. I want to write, I want to be read and this is the journey. Starting right now....the journey may being this second or might being in 3 years, but I promise you, that this journey, when I wake up at that point in life, may I be 30 or 50- the journey will make me smile and laugh; the journey will be all mine. this journey is mine and it starts whenever and will take me wherever. This makes me excited. I stopped rushing. I'm slowing down.
You should too.

as the rays of sunlight shine thru my room here in Miami, I feel blessed to be able to spend a sun filled summer of family, friends and fun. Colorado Springs was amazingly fun, filled wiuth too many Coronas, too much fun times. The people I met were increible, the times we spent together were memorable.
everyone holds a special place in my heart, some more than others, some not at all. and if you could read my mind, you´d know how much i enjoyed your company. the beatles and the food;

people as universes
A good friend once told me “each person is a universe” and explained to me that everyone is so compeltely different. You know when you think, oh they're different? Yeah, well it's much more than different. It involves deeply rooted thoughts, intense emotions and cultural shocks; it partakes from the moment we decide to be who we are going to be in life and separate ourselves from each and every other “universe”. To believe and know that each person around us is a universe seems quite a task and not even one I want to think about, because sometimes all you want, all you need and crave is to have something in common with the people around you. Maybe just one thing like a book or a tv show or a language. To even remotely think that each and every one of us is so different seems out of this world to me, seems incomprehensible but still, I embrace it.
Attitudes can make or break you and sticking up for what you think, what you believe, what you trust in is the only thing you have going for you. If you can't defend your beliefs, wheather they be real or fake, then well, you have nothing to live for. You just can't go by life accepting everything, waiting for someone else to come along and solve it for you and make it go away; you just can't sit around on a couch and doodle and dance and sing and laugh when you know that something is not right.
Character is built with strength and strength is obtained thru hardships. Pretend nothing has happened and live a mediocre life, full of white picket fences, two dogs, kids and a homemade dinner always ready at 8. i'm not telling you to go out into the world and suffer. But accept the challenges God is putting in your way and embrace them.
You might think I'm insensitive, cruel, sarcastic, cold-hearted, impacient, stubborn. You might want to call me a bitch on a daily basis. You might want to … so why don't you? Seriously, it would make you feel so much better, it would make you realize you have some sort of strength in your white picket heart. And if you feel too good to call me a bitch, when don't. Wait for it to go away and it will.
But it won't because it's a constant reminder of what little you have of what pours out of my pores. You might think so much of me but let me set the record straight: the judgement in your eyes I can see it every single day, it's incredible. I may be crazy and stubborn but I do not judge because you know what, I hate being judged by others also.
So back to where I was- the people universe comparison. We are so completely different it ain't even funny.
