Envy

They say that not everything that shines is gold. The same can be said about love. Not everything that feels like love really is. Be careful, be doubtful. Do not let yourself be blinded by the false love some are so good at selling.

Some of us live our lives as expectators. We can only see how others love, how others are loved. We feel envy for that we might never feel, that we might never have. But by envying we keep hoping. Because we only envy that which we don't have, so by envying I know I want love.

En la vida tienes que saber cuando algo que prometiste, algo que pensaste que duraria toda la vida ya no sera. No te engañes pensando que alguien que te hace daño o te desprecia en verdad te ama. Pues quien ama no te destruye, y si te destruye entonces es por que no te ama.

There are moments in life worth a lifetime. In that moment when the universe tells you to be daring, to be brave, you better listen. It might just be that that moment will change the course of your life. And then after, you will find yourself falling in love.

Inspired by John Steinbeck's short message to his wife in the book: "East of Eden"."Dear Pat,You came upon me carving some kind of little figure out of wood and you said, ‘Why don’t you make something for me?’I asked you what you wanted, and you said, ‘A box.’‘What for?’‘To put things in.’‘What things?’‘Whatever you have,’ you said.Well, here’s your box. Nearly everything I have is in it, and it is not full. Pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts—the pleasures of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation.And on top of these are all the gratitude and love I have for you.And still the box is not full.John"

Based on the dead of Elisa Lam, who came to visit LA but was met with a tragic end. No one missed her, no one noticed her gone. But when the water tasted funny; someone checked the water tank and found the reason for the bad tasting water. She roamed the halls lost, but no cared, no one saved her.

At the end nothing matters, if we did or not, if we talked or stayed quiet, if we loved or were too proud. We are here in a moment, and in a moment it is all gone. Wake up if you dare, live while you can.
