Living Without You
"We do not remember days, we remember moments."-Cesare Pavese Looking back and remembering it as if it were yesterday—the day I first laid eyes on you. I'd been in love once, or so I thought I had, but this feeling was much stronger than what I had felt before.

Life from the Outside
Monotonous life, exciting life, addictive life. I live in the present but with the future so close in the horizon. The past is just a mere memory that increasingly weakens and fades. I have already lost innumerable memories that are being replaced by others every day. I look at you and see a sudden reflection of me, an attraction, a vision, a taste, a thought, a simple smile ... a vague memory. Because I ask, because I say, because I continue in this infinite but nevertheless pleasurable pain and agony that so often revolts me but I also feel love.

What Will Tomorrow Bring?
Yesterday's words were unkind, hurtful and terrifying which makes today look scary. It may seem as if the world is against you in many ways and that it is about to collapse at your feet, the world is a bitter place to live in when its negativity comes crashing down, causing nothing but pain to spread within you. Unfortunately we do not pick who gets what, or who deserves more, or even who will wake up the next morning with a simple smile on their face. This world is made of a million different concepts that are planned out ahead of us without us really knowing what tomorrow will bring, however what we do know and must accept is that the true challenge is who will be able to confront whatever it is that may come their way and not only win the battle but also win the war!
