If we’re going to talk, then let’s talk. Forget about what is polite or proper and delve right into what is sincere and honest. Lead me down through the labyrinth of your true, spectacular self. I am not interested in pleasantries. If you want a conversation, then let’s get lost.

I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

Mi habitación,
luces a medio encender,
paredes pintadas con sombras,
silencio y lluvia que retumba en el techo.
Todo me parece desconocido, miro mi reflejo en el espejo y siento que soy una intrusa atrapada en esta caja de cuatro paredes.
Me desconozco y desconozco esta mentira llena de adornos, de deseos, de objetos, de colores, de abismos y de trampas sin identidad me he convertido en una más. En mi habitación me río de lo trágico y cómico que puede ser vivir, unos se anestesian con vendarse los ojos y escuchar lo que quieren escuchar, en cambio yo prefiero ir con los ojos bien abiertos sintiendo la oscuridad y a veces tratando de huir de las manos siniestras que mueven los hilos…
