Alma Perdida

Posted in by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Alma mia, adonde estas? Adonde te fuistes?
Porque me dejastes sola?
Me siento incompleta,
me siento sin motivo, sin sentido.
Muy triste estoy.

Siento un vacio en el centro de mi ser,
siento como si no fuera un ser humano,
Me siento como un monstro:
Sin dolor, sin nada por dentro.
Me robaron a ti, mi mundo.
Tu eres mi mundo.
Ahora sin ti, me siento nada.

Pero a la misma vez, siento muchas cosas.
Siento dolor, siento remordimientos, siento rencor,
siento que me arrancaron mi sentido de sentir, de vivir.
Estoy perdida, perdida en el espacio.
Estoy gritando: ayuda, ayuda!

Me estoy ahogando, siento que estoy borrandome,
poco a poco,
NO EXISTO. MUERTA EN VIDA ES LO QUE SIENTO.

Mi Alma Perdida, regresas a mi!
Alma perdida, no soy nada sin ti.

Shipwrecked

Posted in , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Lost, stuck, flabbergasted, dumbfounded, bamboozled can't even begin to describe the happenings that are surrounding my inner life, it simmers itself free, demonstrating its colors on my outer layer. Anxious, I feel. Lost, in a manner, that creates this power of frustration, of confusion. Asphyxiation, smotherness, suffocation, constricted, stunted.

Desiderata

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrman (c) Max Ehrman 1926

The Moment

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view. We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgment. We have more medicines, but less health. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much. We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space. We have higher income, but less morals… These are times with more liberty, but less joy… With much more food, but less nutrition…These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes. That's why I propose that as of today -- You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn't only survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume… use it every time you feel you want it. Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days…"Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour, and minute are special… Because you never know if it will be your last…If you're too busy to take some minutes to share this message with someone you love, and you tell yourself that you will share it "one of these days"… "one of these days" can be very far away, and you may not be there to see it…

Hardships of Love

Posted in , , , , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Many people might think, you're dumb for staying with him/her, why are you putting yourself through that? Don't be a punk, blah blah blah. Have you ever thought why and how couples that stay together for 30 years, 50 years, 60 years? Because they have been through it all together, through thick and thin, and every obstacle that have presented itself. Forgiveness, effort, and understanding are key. Love doesn't suck, people suck. People cause love to stink. Love is beautiful! Love requires much patience and forgiveness and strength. Love is everything, it has everything you can possibly think of. Soulmates aren't perfect, nobody is. Be prepared for the Hardships of Love, the package that comes along with it. It gets bumpy, but it's all worth it when you have your soulmate by your side. It has to work, you got to make it work. When is enough enough? NEVER, not when it comes to your other soul. Be ready.
