. Memories .
We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams.

. And so the journey begins .

First Assignment

Well, this is my first entrance in my new blogspot, and I'm going to start it with a reaction I wrote in class. We are studying poetry now, and we were told to write one...I decided to write about a statement.



"When you fall in love you see the world through rose-coloured spectacles"



Yes, it is often said that life and everything around us change dramatically when you fall in love. Suddenly, the perfect place is where you're standing, and suddenly everything is a lot easier. We are some-how blinded by this fake perfection, this image that love gives us, and we ignore reality, that inevitable truth we have to live with everyday. But, it's a beautiful lie, isn't it? makes us invincible for just a fragment of a minute, but that so called paradise can turn into hell if that love is taken away, and all the things we were not seeing crush us. That is why you feel misery is taking over your body when everything ends, when he or she goes away. We find ourselves lost in a "new" land, wandering around with no clue of what to do, stuck in a moment. And then, we realize that it is no new land, it is the same place you have been standing all along...but your perfect world stung your eyes and distracted you from the truth. That is why love is so tricky, confuses you with an out-of-this-world, mind-blowing image...and even though it hurts at the end...we can't help but falling over and over again.



Sounds more like something I'd write in my personal diary...but oh well.

While reading your post I had this kind of tricky sensation …. In my mind I thought I little bit sorry for you …. Because I must admit I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE … but maybe you haven’t... Not the way I had... and this way has been the most amazing and pure feeling I had ever experienced. First of all… I know now I haven fallen for love, I have fallen for someone, and I believe that’s the big difference …
When you fall in love with love, you get used to be treated in a special way by someone. You fall in love with the fact that you can share special moments with someone, with the fact that you are not alone … and when that disappears … it feels like falling from the highest building and crashing into a garden of thorny roses . You even feel the bleeding from every part of our body … but no, it’s only reality.
But when you fall in love with someone …. It’s completely different … because even though you would do everything for that person …it’s not the most important thing to be with him/her. You just what him/her to be happy … you care about his/her health about his joy and you pray... To be part of his happiness, to be able to fill that part of his heart that causes him emptiness. You would do everything just for him … because he is what awakens your soul and make you reach for more, that plants a fire your heart and bring peace to your mind…And I can promise you … that when you find that someone … you wont need anything and anyone else… and that will be for ever …
Although … love is just a game …
see you soon . i hope you vist my blog to ! with love. rosarito

What could I add to these two striking statements about love?
Let me tell you I have been through this feeling of complete lose of control over your emotions: from blushing to constant day-dreaming, feeling broken-hearted and touching the end of the world. But let me tell you something, it´s true that one time or another the bandage will fall off from your eyes, but you will THEN realize that IF you can really LOVE someone, accept them with all their flaws, and make a new beginning together, then that person will surely be the right one.
