WITHOUT WORDS...

A village away from everything and everyone ...
the mountains around us and give us shelter and hospitality.
the peace we breathe is so big ..
that the melancholy can more,
the air hitting the leaves of the poplars ...
simulates with your moving the sound of the sea ...
the singing of the birds, invites us to sleep and dream.
the neighbor's cat visits us ...
and begins to purr wanting to play.
each year the village is more sad ...
the neighbors are older, they are sick,
and little by little they are dying.
Remember when we were many ...
when we fill the street with our shouts and laughter,
when we would make parties by anything,
because always we had something to celebrate ...
And now ... we are few, every once fewer,
We looked at each others ...
and we feel the need to mourn,
because nothing is the same ...
because the village is dying without anyone can remedy.



My home and my life on the mountains.

Siento mucho lo de tu amiga, Maria.

It always saddens me to hear about a girl starving herself in order to "look good". It's only the media that says that women have to be super thin to be beautiful and to be hot. But I feel that it shouldn't have to be that way. In fact, there are a lot of beautiful women in every shape and size, all over the world. I also feel that personality should matter more than physical appearance.

I'm big-boned, which makes me look a little chubby. I used to feel very insecure about my figure, and I also would wish that I could wear certain stylish clothes that would be too small or too tight for me. When I was a kid, a few other kids rejected me because of my figure, and also, a few others teased me about it. How hurtful and humiliating! I had often wished that I was thin. But then I learned to be happy with myself.. Now I feel better about myself than before, as well as gratefully having many people in my life who adore me and care about me, even though I'm big-boned. I even found clothes I LOVE that fit me well.

I recently had a dream that there was a post about me in a plus-size fashion appreciation blog on Tumblr... I got excited and called one of the girls from this site to tell her about it. Some guy (who we don't know) was listening to our conversation, and he started laughing and making fun of me. Then later I went shopping at a mall, and that guy was there too.. He laughed at me every time he saw me. Yes, all of this was just a dream. But I hope nothing like that happens in real life.

I love these quotes by Mike:

"Girls with beautiful curves and nice healthy filled out bodies shouldn't feel the need to be super thin to be considered gorgeous."

"As long as you're healthy, there's no reason to be ashamed of your body."

Thanks for your answer, Rikki..

I always thought that no one should feel different regardless of their physiognomy, but ... society has made us believe that only are valid some bodies and an certain beauty, and this obsession by the unreal has become a disease in many cases .. . myself know what it is to suffer for having to stay in a weight, I know what it is suffer faints by stop eating to meet a target set, and I know what is to suffer eating disorders for years ... right now I feel like I'm recovered, but ... is something that never really heals, because anytime you can fall back and make the same mistake ...

I know how hard it has been for you too, and I think that continues to be ... just wish that we could all be happy such and as we are, without matter what the the rest think of us, but sometimes ... is something very difficult to achieve.

I wish too that we all could always be happy just as we are, no matter what other people think or say about us. But like Matt has told me, just let the negativity slide off you like water off a duck's back.. Once you've learned to do that, you'll feel way less insecure and just not give a damn about anyone else's opinion about you.

Humans are humans, and every human should be treated equally with respect.. Different outsides and insides should not matter.

I've always thought that people's differences make the world very interesting, and I've always felt that if everybody was totally the same, the world would be boring as hell.

That one is so moving Maria.. I keep reading it, and it gives me goosebumps. The ending is gorgeous. The poem overall seems a bit saddening, but your written with such elegance that it's really beautiful and releasing.  

Thanks, cariño ... made me smile ... your and your thoughts ...
