Sonríe!

Perseguir ese sueño que nos sirve de norte...

"Hora mágica, amigos. Cae el atardecer, pero todavía nos espera la noche... nos tantea, a ver que onda. Me encanta a mi ese paréntesis indefinido del tiempo. Las sensaciones seguramente son inconscientes, pero yo estoy convencida de que de alguna manera los estados del ánimo son como el clima. Digo... nos nublamos, amanecemos, atardecemos, llovemos, granizamos, volvemos a amanecer... Muchos son meteorólogos de su propio tiempo, de su propio estado de ánimo. Sin embargo yo prefiero no saber, abrir la ventana y esperar a ver que es lo que el día tiene para mi. También me gusta abrir la ventana y ver el clima de la gente que yo quiero y en ese sentido, no puedo estar más feliz. A mucha de esa gente hoy, les explota el sol, revientan de sol... y esa es toda gente que yo quiero. Hay movimiento, hay risa, hay vida, hay búsquedas que trascienden el tiempo y riesgos que se siguen corriendo. Hay segundas oportunidades y revanchas que abren nuevos horizontes. Todos buscamos trascender. Porque trascender es buscar y perseguir ese sueño que nos sirve de norte. Es mirar para atras y decir "Bueno, lo intenté. No se bien cual habrá sido el resultado, pero por lo menos lo intenté y me quiero quedar en paz sabiendo que hice todo lo que tenía que hacer, que dejé una marca en las personas que conocí...". No te bajes de ese sueño, no dejes de ser vos. 

Tengan ustedes una buena vida. 

Y tengan siempre buena música." 

"El lugar adonde queremos llegar la mayoria de las veces es muy claro. Pero en el camino muchos nos perdemos. Nos atamos a ideas que tenemos de nosotros mismos que nos engañan y bueno, tardamos mas de la cuenta. Pero siempre hay alguien ahi para recordarnos quienes somos, que deseamos..."

"Cada uno elige su manera de vivir la vida. Pero hay cosas de las que no hay que olvidarse nunca: fiesta, familia, amigos... y amor..."

(Citas de Vero (Julieta Ortega), Loli (Nancy Duplaá) y Andy (Daniel Hendler) en el último capitulo de la novela "Graduados")

El amor sigue danzando por mi cabeza...

 

Shades of wine, love keeps dancing through my mind
No I can't escape this time all because of you
Yesterday, love was just a word to say
Overnight a holiday, all because of you

So unreal, life was just a ferris wheel
Till you told me how to feel things I never knew, darlin'
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/francoise-hardy-all-because-of-you-lyrics.html ]
Summer rain, echoing a sweet refrain
Love is such a tender pain, all because of you
So unreal, life was just a ferris wheel
Till you told me how to feel things I never knew, darlin'
Summer rain, echoing a sweet refrain
Love is such a tender pain, all because of you
All because of you, all because of you.
 

(All because of you - Francoise Hardy - Sang by Jessica Sula - "Grace" in Skins - Episode 1, Season 6)

To let people in...

"Unfortunately, honey pie, new people are only new for a day. After that, they're just people. Who'll excite you, disappoint you, scare you a little bit. And boy do I know how tempting it is to run away when that happens. It's good for avoiding things. 

But the problem is that you end up avoiding yourself. Avoiding people you love. You end up avoiding life. So I've decided to start setting an example for you girls. I'm going to try showing you what sticking it out looks like. Really get to know people. And let people get to know us. I don't promise to be any good at it, but I will try. Because I want you and Zoe to be better at this than I am. I want you to learn how to let people in."

(Jean Hamilton in "The perfect man") 

It was the best of times...

"I used to be afraid of so many things: that I'd never grow up, that I'd be trapped in the same place for all eternity, that my dreams would forever be shy of my reach. It's true what they say: time plays tricks on you. 
One day you're dreaming, and the next your dream has become your reality.

And now that this scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go, I miss her. I do. 'Cause there are things I wanna tell her... to relax, to lighten up, that it is all going to be ok. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are, will become an increasingly rare occurrence. Jen, Jack, Audrey, Andie, Pacey, and Dawson. These people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go, and as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows. Because the truth is... it was the best of times. 

Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned, but all of that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good? Maybe it's because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something, that we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all, a time in our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear this is exactly how it happened. But this is how it felt."

(Joey Potter in Dawson´s Creek - Ep. 6x22 "Joey Potter and  Capeside Redemption")
