Beauty

Do you want to see the most beautiful thing I've ever filmed?... It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.

Arrepentimientos

Los arrepentimientos vienen en todas las formas y tamaños: algunos son pequeños como cuando haces algo malo por una buena razón. Algunos más grandes como cuando decepcionamos a un amigo. Algunos de nosotros escapamos del dolor del remordimiento haciendo la elección correcta. Algunos de nosotros tenemos poco tiempo para arrepentirnos porque estamos mirando hacia el futuro. Algunas veces tenemos que luchar para hacer las paces con el pasado. Y algunas veces enterramos nuestro arrepentimiento prometiendo cambiar. Pero nuestros arrepentimientos más grandes no son por las cosas que hemos hecho sino por las que no hicimos cosas que no dijimos que pueden salvar a alguien por quien te preocupas. Especialmente cuando puedes ver la oscura piedra que se interpone en su camino.

Lo mejor de Mary Jane es... cuando le miras a los ojos... y ella te mira a los tuyos... todo lo notas raro... porque te sientes más fuerte y débil al mismo tiempo. Te sientes excitado y al mismo tiempo aterrado. La verdad es que no sabes lo que sientes, excepto el tipo de hombre que deseas ser. Es como si hubieras alcanzado lo inalcanzable y no estabas preparado para ello.

De vez en cuando la gente da un paso adelante, y esa iniciativa está por encima de ellos mismos. A veces te sorprenden. A veces se caen de golpe. La vida a veces es divertida, puede llegar a agobiarnos; pero si miras de cerca, encontrarás esperanza en las palabras de los niños, en las notas de una canción y en los ojos de alguien a quien amas. Y si tienes suerte, es decir, si eres la persona con más suerte de este planeta, la persona a la que tú amas decidirá corresponderte.

 

As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. Then gradually time awakened again and moved sluggishly on.

Pulp Fiction

 

Mia: Don’t you hate that?
Vincent: Hate what?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it’s necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don’t know. That’s a good question.
Mia: That’s when you know you’ve found somebody really special. When you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably share the silence.

Crossroads

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. And, of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. But, once in a while, people push onto something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. 

Because, it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And, it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. 

The person you want to be does exist; somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And, beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead.
