Little Women (2019) Dir. Greta Gerwig

A tu lado sentía que mi cuerpo tenía alma.

Luux

"El sentimiento de lo sublime, es idéntico en el fondo al de lo bello, pues no es más que la contemplación pura abstraída de toda voluntad. Trasladémonos a una región solitaria; el horizonte se extiende indefinidamente, el cielo está limpio de nubes, ni el más ligero soplo de viento agita los árboles ni las plantas; no hay animales ni hombres ni aguas corrientes; el silencio más profundo reina en toda la extensión; este paisaje despierta graves pensamientos, invita al olvido de la voluntad y de sus miserias, comunica a aquel paisaje solitario y silencioso cierto matiz de sublimidad. Pues nos ofrece a la voluntad, ávida siempre de desear y adquirir, objeto alguno favorable y desfavorable, no queda más que el estado de contemplación pura, y el que no sea capaz de elevarse a ella sólo sentirá aburrimiento. La aptitud para soportar y amar la soledad es una medida de nuestro valor intelectual."

(El mundo como voluntad y representación)

Arthur Schopenhauer

siempre hay algo de ti en todo lo que hago

“Vivimos en la permanencia de la impermanencia, en la eternidad de lo efímero.”

— Soledad Amena

Consejo para perfeccionistas

No tienes por qué hacer las cosas perfectas.

La perfección siempre cambia, la perfección evoluciona, la perfección se perfecciona.

Cuando crees que la conseguiste, ella está cada vez más arriba, y más arriba, y más arriba.

No tiene caso que te estreses por ella. Sólo disfruta de cada escalón, disfruta del ascender, pues será un ascender eterno. No tiene caso desesperarse por no alcanzar el final, pues en realidad no hay final.

“El cansancio de la vida no es más que un sentimiento y los sentimientos no pueden hacerse pasar nunca por argumentos”.

•

"The weariness of life is nothing more than a feeling, and feelings can never be passed off as arguments".

— Viktor E. Frankl

What’s happening with our mexican feminists in the last few days?

“We neither forgive or forget”

As you may (or not) know, Mexico is one of the many Latin American countries with the worst cases of femicides, gender violence, rapes, and sexual harassment. For many years we’ve been shouting out in the streets, we’ve blocked the city with our manifestation and even stopped for a whole day and show how would be a day without us. 

But that seems not enough for our government

Our government doesn’t hear us, our government doesn’t care about us. We still walk with fear in an empty street (even if it’s noon), we still have nightmares with the struggle of couldn’t make it one day: survive. We don’t live in Mexico, we survive.

“Nobody ask what my rapist was wearing”

In Mexico, 11 women are murdered everyday and nobody does anything in the name of justice

What’s happening with our mexican feminists in the last few days?

Our event takes place in Mexico City, September 02: Relatives of missing people ‘took’  a room in one of the most important buildings when it comes to human rights: the CNDH (National Commission for Human Rights). Marcela Alemán, whose daughter was raped 3 years ago, explain that this organization (and the Justice System of San Luis Potosí, Mexico) haven’t do anything for them; despite having enough evidence to catch the rapists:

“I’m fucking tired, they revictimize me, humiliate me […] I can’t take it anymore, my soul hurts”

September, 04: In a pacific way, women from “Ni Una Menos México” have taken the entirely building, so the authorities can solve the demands from this and many families who are in the same position. They had a talk with the president of the CNDH, and some mothers decided to go, but our feminists remains in the building asking and fighting for every women in Mexico that have suffered.

“Justice”

Our feminists have found a lot of food inside, food that people who works there doesn’t need, so they’re gonna donate them for those in need. They have painted and destroy everything as an act of resistance and rebellion. We’re not looking for money, nobody here belongs to the government: We just want justice for those who are not with us anymore, we want to feel safe in the country that has denied us protection.

“Girls must not be raped”

“CNDH USELESS, How many more?”

Many of you may think that “this is not the way to get attention”, but in Mexico, were nobody listens to you just because you’re a woman, you have to find ways to be noticed. We don’t respect a country who doesn’t respect us, we don’t care for silly paintings, we care for our women today and always.

We, the feminists, have this song that says “We are bad, we can be worst” and we proudly sing it while we look for justice, for peace, for a better place for everyone.

¡Ni una más, ni una más, ni una asesinada más!

“La incertidumbre controla mi mente.”

Milky Chance - Stolen Dance

hablar de esas noche es pensar en la culpa y las espinas que atravesaron mi garganta.

recordar que era más obscura y yo no fui valiente para escapar. Cobardía.

me faltó ir a tu casa una noche

nos faltó ir a bailar

nos faltó

tiempo.
