Liberating Spaces

We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

– “Walking in a dream”, Empire of the Sun

Mi problema,
es que siempre espero el tren
pero cuando pasa,
ya no lo quiero coger,
y ni me lleva,
ni me deja de traer.

Y la espera,
raya,
la máxima idiotez,
las ventajas tienden a desaparecer,
y nunca gano,
pero no dejo de perder.

– La Raya, Maldita Nerea

And now that you found it
It’s gone
Now that you feel it
You don’t
It’s gone forever

Well if you are (what you love)
And you do (what you love)
I will always be the sun and moon to you
And if you share (with your heart)
Yeah, you give (with your heart)
What you share with the world is what it keeps of you

– “Give a little love”, Noah and the Whale

Lately, I’ve been talking a lot to friends and new friends, women and men alike about emotions. Some of my male friends take a very rational position to what I tell them. They try to find explanations, analyse it and propose solutions, while comparing my problems with their previous experiences, and telling me how they went out of it. Most women, on the other hand, bring a more empathetic view to it. They do not try to get the truth and give me their solutions, they mostly accompany me in my feelings, share them and help me going through them, for me to understand them, while giving me hope by showing the nice colours in my windy emotional painting.

Today, in the gym after I came back from swimming, they were playing in the changing rooms a song by Noah and the Whale called “Blue Skies”.

This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can’t get out of bed

I’ll do anything
To be happy
Oh cause blue skies are coming
But I know that it’s hard
