A castle, a castle that had submerged from the ruins that a wrecking ball left one day, a wrecking ball that never cared of the pain it had provoked in the heart, a wrecking ball that just knew how to hurt, how to destroy, how to betray but never, how to pay off the love that the queen whose castle was destroyed was offering with every single gaze she dedicated to that wrecking wall. Countless times, for over five months, that wrecking laughed in her face when it saw what it had done to her and then, it just walked away. He never deserved her pure love, he never deserved her heart, her body, her tears, but above all, he never deserved the miracle she had carried in her being for over 9 months.

The door of that castle opened in front of his eyes, those sparky eyes that existed just for her, he was not a saver, he was not a saint, he did not deserve the shiny light around her she was lighting up his way with, he did not deserve to be healed by that light. What good on earth did he d

    Have you ever noticed the stolen gazes? Have you ever seen the yearning in his or her eyes? The merge between two soul, the merge between earth and rain, the merge between her and him, the merge between just two people who fell in love without realizing it.It was true they were young when they met, it was true he had fallen in love without realizing, it was true they were meant to be all along. Having him, having her at that moment when finally everything had been said, had made them touch paradise while being aware that mistakes should not be called mistakes if they had been committed for the first time.How is it possible not to make any mistakes when we are human beings? How is it possible to be perfect when the world that is welcoming us is everything, but perfect?If she was afraid one day in her own skin, she wouldn't remember it anymore. All that time thinking there was no man on earth that could be different from the man she loved and wrecked her, there was no man who could

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    FRAGILITY

    Yes, it was possible to feel the heart full of happiness in the same way, it was possible to feel it strangely ill. Ian was her everything. Ian was all she could ask for but, regrettably, she had a date with her past. Nancy was not going to stop until she said the truth but, if only she could understand how hard it was. As soon as the smile on the face of Alice was erased, without hesitation, she took her cellphone, the keys of her sister's car and headed out, trying not to look behind. There was so much to explain to Ian but, that was not the moment to talk to him. Her only purpose was to gather enough courage to face her mother-in-law. She was not ready to talk to Gabriel and Nancy had to understand that. Maybe, it was too easy to focus on her problems first before stopping just a second and hear out her surroundings. Maybe it was better to let herself be loved before loving someone. Maybe Ian was full-aware of her feelings and she didn't need to let him know that when, for her,

    If only someone had told her she was not weak for showing him her feelings, if someone just had told her she would do right if she had stopped him in the mere instant her heart asked her to do that, maybe her heart would feel as heavy as she was feeling it.She had made many mistakes in her short life and, apparently, that was the way of her to act even if her inside was being torn apart.It was true, what begins is fated to end someday, but, if the decision to finish what had not started was upon the person he loved with his entire life that he felt not even a whole life would be enough to tell her how much he loved her. What about that? She was being an immature young mom again. He loved her innocence, but what she was doing was not due to her innocence but her cowardice in feeling her son away as soon as he met his father. She was not an angel, she was not a demon, but acting like that would make her look like a selfish demon who wants to owe everything.  

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    RETURNING

    Alice's heart finally felt calm, the same calm she just felt when Joseph was close to her to heal her wounds. She had just done for a man what she never imagined to do after the most painful betrayal she had gone through because of her first love. She was convinced Ian was going to come back for just one reason; her love, the love she was giving him maybe, since the first moment they encountered for the first time after many years. All her fears had been put aside in the moment she felt –for a moment– her heart was almost facing his absence. A fairytale had begun in that moment. Regrettably, it was going to be hard not to see Ian as always walking through the hospital corridors, smiling for every time he ran into her like he had encountered the most beautiful treasure in his way. After all, she was his most precious treasure.If only she could know how happy that man had boarded the plane, if only he could explain to her all the emotions and fe

    Rita the receptionist had broken into Alice’s peaceful morning, informing her about someone who wanted to see her without having an appointment or documents that could endorse that person being her patient.“What is his name or her name?” asked Alice. Her pale face revealed more than she would have been able to say.“It’s his name, it’s a man,” continued Rita, “and his name is-“At the mere instant, the receptionist was informing her about the person who had come without any documents, an intense dizziness was presented to Alice. Instantly, she was held by Rita, who was dramatically alarmed at the moment. That seemed to scare Alice. She had never felt like it consecutively.For the first time since her pregnancy, she was worried about herself. She feared her body was not okay as she always wanted to be, but on the other hand, she thought it could be anything. The

    New mornings came, delusions went away and, once again, the sun rose like nothing had happened. The truth was, many things had happened since the moment she discovered her first love betrayal and then, the pregnancy. So many days went by in the same way, wishing her life was distinct, wishing Gabriel had never crossed her way, wishing he had just stayed in the same position he always kept when he was looking at Paloma from afar. Paloma and Alice were always different, they were just opposite poles. What Alice didn’t have, Paloma had, what Paloma never had, Alice always had. A fool if Alice thought Gabriel would change all of a sudden. He always wanted to have Paloma for him, he always wanted her by his side. It was stupid to think he would have changed that for Alice, a woman who was as simple as any other, but special in front of the right eyes. Alice was barely starting and she already had a baby inside her, a new little person who

There was no one else there but her baby and the family that took care of her.

We can’t have everything at once. That’s right but, why did her son have to pay the consequences of the mistakes of those people?It was hard to remember or even, to look back at those memories just for one second and see herself taking care of her son when she was giving up.

    A DREAM COME TRUEIn life, thousands of decisions to make; in life, millions of different paths to follow; in life, just one lonely soul who struggles day by day, step by step, second by second to give the best when that person is not even the best version of oneself.What about the world? What about that world which expects the best of us? How wrong the people who say adolescents like to feel they owe the world. They can destroy it and build it as many times as we want.When we are adolescents we don't look for becoming a wrecking ball to destroy the world and build it our way. If people could just understand, we just look for that path, that way we can walk through and feel ourselves.We want to be loved, we want to feel we belong to one heart, we just want to stay in the heart that will become our home eventually for the rest of our lives. Because if something of what people think of a

    In the end, there is no such medicine as time. Time heals wounds, time makes us better people, time makes us understand those things we could not understand before. The present hurts while the future sleeps and the past dies. No one knows the reasons of the events that we're going through at a given moment until later the threads of life came to be just one, giving meaning to all the things that didn't have in their moment. Everything is time, nothing comes if it's not by time which leads it to us. There is no answer that doesn't depend on time. If we, most of the time, don't have reasons for all our acts, how do we pretend to have the answers that life has just to the questions that make for the same life?The past and present beget the future, that one which we're more afraid of.Learning to love is part of life, waiting for the right one is knowing what we deserve.Alice had closed a very important cycle i

Alice didn't close her eyes, not even for a second, she wanted to get rid of him, but regrettably, she felt nothing compared to the manly strength he put forth.He had finally reached her lips, he was kissing how he had wished to do since the first moment he met her and Alice. She was about to lose who she loved the most as a consequence of that unwanted and undesired kiss.Alice's heart broke at the mere moment she saw Ian with teary eyes looking at them.

    Feeling the headache killing her, she couldn’t process what her friend was telling Alice.“Alice?” named Dayanna, as she hadn’t heard Gabriel’s voice.“Yes, Dayanna?” replied Alice, sitting up on the grim.“Congratulations, you're going to be a mom!”Her breath stopped, her mind stop sending messages to her body and suddenly, she just became a living body that acted by instinct. Those words that her friend said had come directly into her heart. She couldn't believe what she just heard, it couldn't be possible.

He had changed and it was time for him to show Alice the new person he had become after the pain Gabriel had caused her.Gabriel just couldn’t stand the idea of Alice thinking about Ian all the time.

What does it have to happen to exist the magic, the magic of love?Maybe all that needs to happen to exist magic, genuine feelings, colors that we don't see frequently is to hear the crying of a new born.“It's a boy!"There, where Alice felt she couldn't hold anymore what she was feeling and after having pushed for the third and last time, she could finally lean back her head at the same time her body seemed to lay down as well.It was done, all she feared one day, all she couldn't imagine because of her fears had ended there.

Once upon a time, there was a meaningless life waiting to be cherished, because that is a life for, isn’t it?What about those people who spend their lives complaining about the things they had and they don’t have? What about that life that was given to them to be lived as they pleased but preferred to look into other people’s lives to see what theirs are lacking?Life is not only a process we have to live because, first of all, “have to” it’s not the phrase we should use when we refer to life.
