patience and kindness

-

i've talked about this book before, and i know what you're thinking, how did it take you sooo long to read a poetry book ? the truth is i've been savoring it, i didn't want it to end. in some ways, i still haven't finished it, because i keep coming back to the little pieces i have marked, to read them again and again and again. 

 here's a collage of one of those pages i keep coming back, 

my favorite verse, 

Los Γ‘rboles en marzo
son postes de madera, 
y hay unas tiernas hojas que
consiguen cambiarlos
y es que la paciencia y la ternura valen para todo. 
Por esto y otras cosas no me mato. 
 
༄˖°.πŸ‚.ೃ࿔*:･
 
in March, the trees
are wooden sticks,
but there's some cute leaves
that change them
that is, patience and kindness* work for everything.
it is because of that and a few other things, i don't kill myself.  
 
*ternura could mean kindness, but in a way that also conveys: tenderness, love, softness, endearment

i will go ahead and add it to my bingo, checking: read a book from my shelf. i really need to read some books real quick if i want to finish before the year ends....

  * . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . * but instead of pictures, you get badly drawn (by me) versions of them. use your imagination ! !   ← this baby right here and i go way back. my grandpa thrifted this for me when i was like 4 y/o. nobody (not even me) knew i was gonna collect them later. so you could say he was the first of the collection. its one of those hard plastic toys that you can squish and the air goes out of them thru a hole and it makes a squeaky noise. love him ! (and yes he only has 1 nostril thats actually a marker stain someone drew on him)                               °｡⋆π“‹Όπ“Š☆π“Šπ“‹Ό⋆｡°                           ⋆☆⋆⋆..••°°°°••.. ˖⁺‧₊˚ ˚ my high school besties got me this belros plushie for my 14th birthday (they also got me one's direction first album). shes been with me thru very though times. and yes s...

public library, my beloved

ages 10 to 16 i lived at my local public library. that was my second home. it's tiny and old, as every other public space in tiny old cities tend to be. it probably hasn't updated their books since 2010. it grows only when people donate 3 books once every 10 years. but still: one of my favorite places on earth, i only have good memories there. it helped me discover so many worlds and it single-handedly got me into reading.  so you can imagine how happy i was when my little cousin (leader of the iPad kid generation) asked me to please take her there. we made a whole day out of it. it was so much fun and she loved looking around and touching every book. she is now an official member of the library ! !! a proper citizen.  imagine that ! a place full of books and social spaces for free. you can just go there and spend the whole day sitting around, reading, drawing, thinking, studying. for free !! you can even take books home with you ! for. free. we don't have enough save, comf...
