I think you have to know who you are. Get to know the monster that lives in your soul, dive deep into your soul and explore it.- Tori Amos

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
Los libros no son objetos sino fetiches, amigos intímos, compañeros de viaje, voces de lugares desconocidos, mundos imposibles por conocer. Mi vida no sería la misma sin ellos y no puedo imaginarme desdicha mayor que la de no poder leer.
¿Y a vosotros, os sucede lo mismo?
Books are no longer things but close friends, travel mates, voices from unknown places, imposible worlds to discover. My life wouldn’t be the same without books and I can’t imagine a biggest loss than not being able to read.
What about you? Do you feel the same?

Quizás sea la crisis de los 40, quizás sea que no quiero esperar más. Desde el lunes empiezo un curso de diseño gráfico. A partir de ahí, todo puede cambiar o no. Mientras, sólo voy a disfrutarlo.
Os dejo una invocación para los comienzos. Es muy inspiradora. Os lo recomiendo.
Maybe it’s the mid-life crisis, maybe it’s just that I don’t want to wait any longer. On Monday, I will start a Graphic design course and from that, everything can change… or not. Meanwhile, I’m going to enjoy every single piece of it.
This is an invocation for beginnings. It’s very inspiring. I do recommend it to you all.

Hace unas semanas terminé el libro de Stephen King “
Mientras escribo” y sus dos principales consejos son leer mucho y escribir mucho. Siempre he sido una lectora voraz pero ahora, de adulta, lo que me falta es el tiempo aunque sigo leyendo siempre que tengo ocasión. ¿Qué opináis vosotros?
Ahora estoy leyendo obras de teatro para mejorar mis dialogos.
I’ve recently read the book “On writing” by Stephen King and his main tips are reading a lot and writing a lot. I’ve always been an avid reader but now, in my adulthood, it’s a matter of time but even with just a little time, I keep on reading as much as I can. What about you?
At the moment, I’m reading some theater play to improve my dialogues.

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy… and I keep it in a jar on my desk. – Stephen King

Me marché de España buscando una mejor calidad de vida. En Madrid, alcanzar un equilibrio entre mi vida laboral y personal parecía imposible. Después de 6 años en Irlanda puedo decir que es posible encontrar lo que se busca pero se han de correr riesgos, aprovechar oportunidades y mantener los pies en el suelo.
Emigrar no es una solución sino una apuesta. A veces sale bien y otras se pierden cosas que descubrimos que son más importantes para nosotros de lo que esperábamos en un principio.
En estos años he conocido a gente fantástica y a gente que merecería la pena. He estado en lugares que me han hecho sentir pequeña pero han engrandecido el alma. He hecho cosas que no había hecho antes.
Pero sobre todo, he aprendido mucho. He aprendido mucho de mí misma.
I left Spain searching a better quality of life. In Madrid, a balance between my job and my life seemed hard to find. After 6 years in Ireland, I can tell that you can find what you’re searching for but for that, you should take some risks, seize the day and keep your feet on the floor.
Emigrate is not a solution but a bet. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose things that you find out that they are more important that you expect them to be.
During these years, I’ve met people, some of them were terrific and some other didn’t deserve a second of my attention. I’ve been in places where I felt tiny but they enlarge my soul. I’ve done things I’ve never done before.
Moreover, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned a lot about myself.
