No recuerdo la última vez que alguien sostuvo mi mano en público. Para Abel parece natural. Para mí, sin embargo, es orgánico y extraño a la vez. Miro nuestras manos entrelazadas mientras caminando fuera del edificio, como si llevarnos el uno al otro fuera algo que hemos hecho siempre, como si ya nos hubiéramos acostumbrado […]
Unos tenues rayos de sol parecen descansar exhaustos sobre un piso carmesí recién encerado mientras Abel tira de mi mano. Siento el calor de su palma, suave y algo sudada. Puede que sea la mía… A pesar de su beso apaciguador, mis nervios no han cesado. Miro ansiosamente en todas las direcciones, intentando absorber tantos […]
A few months ago, a friend invited me to a talk on Emotional Resilience that he would give. I accepted without giving it much thought.

Para nadie es un secreto que, a los ojos de foráneos, al menos de América Latina, la ubicación de Sri Lanka […]
Having a random conversation with a friend, a worrying thought popped into my head. My friend said: “I don’t feel proud to be gay, it’s a curse! I wish I was straight, getting married, have kids, have a regular life… But no! I had to be a faggot!” After being in three Pride parades in […]
I’ve been in Sweden for more than 5 months now and it feels… strange. Fine, but weird. I’m writing this post while a freaking cold-ass Siberian wind wave is slapping the crap out of Sweden, so I’ve been “captive” at home today to do a lot of thinking on lessons and challenges that are about […]
Many people warned me about how strange and somehow difficult a life in a new land would be. Not because of the land itself, relevant as it is, but for the changes in our lives, deep within us, touching and grabbing the roots of our own selves. Whoever says s/he has already found the true […]
Ever since I was a little kid, back in my days in the military school (yes, believe it), I explored the wonders of learning, understanding and communicating in a different language.
