De alguna manera se siente frustrantemente nostálgica esta red social.

No considero ser una persona que guste de buscar este sentimiento, pero cada que entro aquí hay algo que me llena de eso. Algo raro ciertamente, pero de vez en cuando, un poco de nostalgia hace que romanticemos los pequeños detalles de la vida y hacen que valga un poco más la pena vivirla…

[oursketches]

Hablar con alguien es natural, si, pero dentro de esta naturalidad puede habitar una contraparte dentro en la intención del diálogo.

Me refiero a que, al hablar, no solo se tiene un solo sentido o “nivel” (en la conversación); más bien, a que hay un segundo nivel en la intención. No estoy tratando de decir que el lenguaje corporal no tenga nada que ever, sino que es parte de este primer nivel mencionado.

No todas las personas están consientes de que siempre se están teniendo estas dos pláticas al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, una gran parte de las personas lo sabe y las tiene en estos dos niveles de manera activa y consiente, no solo reactiva o automáticamente.

Finally.

[oursketches]

Estuve dispuesto a aceptar esta tan inminente mortalidad acerca de lo que viene y cuánto durará, el miedo que estos pensamientos me transmitían se iba al estar contigo.

[oursketches]

Por que no puedes estar sin escuchar nada? No es preocupante siempre necesitar escuchar algo?
