“Before we met, I was drowned in a deep blue sky,
I thought I would never look forward again,
I believed I would always stay stuck,
Since that first snow, nothing remained the same,
I came to know there was more to life,
I realized I was ever ready to move on,
All I needed was somebody like you,
All I wanted was to trust in your vibe,
In those shimmery eyes, I saw cheesy sunrise,
In those silent moments, I heard the roar of rivers,
In those joyous chattering, I sensed peaceful sunsets,
In those pineapple thoughts, I lived life to the fullest,
In that crazy ocean of love, I left footprints on the water,
Trust me, in that lovely smile, I saw a sky I won't forget.”

“A life lived in a simulation is still a life.”

“Quizás para compensar ese cuerpo maltrecho y grotesco que me había tocado en suerte, mi cerebro vivía siempre atento, ávido, y aprender se me facilitaba sobremanera, como si desde un comienzo supiera que mi inteligencia iba a ser la única arma de supervivencia en medio de un mundo cruel y amenazante”
― Mario Mendoza, La melancolía de los feos

“This is the strange lesson of living in a pandemic: life can be tranquil in the face of death.”
