Think you’re escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
- James Joyce, Ulysses

La presión del tic-tac del reloj que no tengo,
la certeza de saber que voy completamente a destiempo.
Pero la música sigue sonando.

Writers aren't people exactly. Or, if they're any good, they're a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person.
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
And yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
- James Joyce, Dubliners
She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.
- Neil Gaiman, Stardust 
Like a double edged sword, our greatest strengths are often also our greatest weaknesses. For me, that has always been caring too much and feeling too intensely. Its allowed me to understand and deeply connect to people, but has also been the cause of a lot of heartache. For everything there is a price.
- Yasmin Mogahed
The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions—sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments—both physical and emotional—unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss—another person’s shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.
- Susan Cain
Rompo todo lo que toco.
El flexo de la mesilla de mi cuarto.
La tapa del ordenata.
El buen humor.
La locura es relativa.
El vacío es de verdad.
Aquí me tienes, intentando que mi pecho no explote al recordar..
