Unos tenues rayos de sol parecen descansar exhaustos sobre un piso de color oscuro 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 a todos lados buscando absorber […]
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. When there, it turned out that the talk was organized as a special session for members of a mental health support group. Despite my little confusion, I decided to stay. […]

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. Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Ace of Base, among others, developed an incredible world in my ears. Friends eventually joined. I remember my […]
Los que me conocen saben que yo soy ridículamente impresionable. Creo que lo he escrito ya varias veces aquí. “¡Anda, mira, un bolardo!”.
