&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Los primeros 365 días son
una mierda, me dijo absolutamente todo el mundo. El luto dura un año, decía en
un libro de esos que pretende tener toda la sabiduría. No les creí, claro que
no, pero cuando abrí los ojos esta mañana me quede ahí, acostada un momento,
esperando, así como cuando te despiertas en tu cumpleaños y piensas que deberías
sentir algo diferente pero sientes exactamente lo mismo? Pues así. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ya arruiné la sorpresa, pero
aun así lo repito. Me siento exactamente igual que ayer. Menos triste, claro,
porque es verdad, solo es un número, un día, y todos los días son igual de vacíos,
pero por más que el sentido común intente, el corazón manda en unas cosas. Y
los aniversarios, esos &lt;i&gt;si&lt;/i&gt; son una
mierda. Y los días del padre, y los cumpleaños, y las fiestas, y pues, todos
los días que sean especiales, de familia. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;(Mi sabiduría no es
absoluta, obviamente. Es personal. Para mí no ha cambiado nada. Quizás para
otra persona haya cambiado todo. No me lo puedo imaginar, pero acepto la
posibilidad. Malísima escritora seria si no. Pero ustedes no están aquí buscando
posibilidades. Están aquí buscando una historia. Mi historia. Así que eso les
comparto)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;El día 366 no cura las
heridas. El día 366 no es el comienzo de algo nuevo. El día 366 es,
simplemente, otro día más sin ti, papito. Así como he contado estos primeros
366, seguramente seguiré contando por mucho tiempo. Quizás por el resto de mi
vida. Y, eso, en el fondo, no es algo tan malo. Lo único mejor sería regresar
al día cero y cambiar la historia, pero me temo que eso no se puede. Si se
pudiera, estoy segura que alguien lo hubiera hecho antes. (Si tan solo querer
realmente &lt;i&gt;fuera&lt;/i&gt; poder, estarías aquí conmigo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pero no. No se puede
regresar. No queda más que seguir. Y siendo así las cosas, si me preguntan, es
mejor, si vamos a seguir, ir cargando las lecciones, las lágrimas, los abrazos,
los instantes de los últimos 365 días. Si no, ¿para qué vivimos? ¿Para qué
intentamos? ¿Para qué?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

watched the last episode of Game of Thrones, but just in case you haven’t and
don’t want to be spoiled, please, stop reading. Game of Thrones seems to be the
only thing I want to talk about lately, so I might as well take advantage and
write about it, hopefully get some interesting discussion on the subject.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;A few weeks ago, I ranted at Shonda Rhimes because of
McDreamy’s death (STILL NOT OVER THAT). If anything, last night’s Game of
Thrones episode nine we all knew it was coming and yet we still hate it death
was much more horrifying, not only in the execution, but also in regards to the
storyline. A man dying while trying to help others is heroic, even if McDreamy’s
death was stupid and unnecessary. A child being burned alive by her father
because a priestess insists she needs royal blood to make sure they win the
battle to come is just…stupid.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;It works, because, in this world that Game of Thrones
has built for us, these things happen. No one is perfectly good or perfectly
evil, and characters we respected, like Stannis, can do incomprehensible
things. It works, in a way it didn’t in Grey’s Anatomy, because the Derek Shepherd
that we knew and loved wouldn’t have gone back for his stupid cell-phone only
to get run over in the middle of an otherwise deserted street.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;The unthinkable sometimes make more sense than the seemingly
ordinary. Especially when it’s well written.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Shireen’s death coming a mile away. I tried to ignore my instincts, because
some things are too horrible to consider, but the foreshadowing was there. In
fact, the foreshadowing was so strong that, after the episode, I was left to
think that, as angry as we all felt that she was dead, we would have felt
cheated if she’d survived.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;We don’t have to like all stories. We don’t have to
agree with what the writers give us. But, if the writing is good, more often
than not, we’ll at least have to bow our head and say: Fine, I can accept that.
It makes sense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;That’s the difference between a horrible death and an
awful one. The writers. Good writing can tell almost any story. You hear that,
Shonda? Almost any story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

series, and yes, I am guilty of offering deals to the devil in exchange for
Book 6. I am a fan. I haven’t been one for as long as other people, but I am a
fan. A dedicated one. I’ve discussed theories much more complicated than R+L=J
and have spent countless hours trying to figure out what the future holds for
my favorite characters.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

the TV show.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

admit about myself, it’s that I AM a snob. I have had a problem with almost
every literary adaptation of a book I have loved, and the few exceptions to the
rule (Lord of the Rings comes to mind) are usually reserved for the books I
didn’t love so much. If I love the book, I must certainly won’t love the
movie/show. Especially if they change things.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

TV show has done some things that have made me throw the appropriate book at
the screen. (The Jamie/Cersei “rape” ….UGH), but, in general, they’ve done
right by the characters I like, and have actually made me enjoy characters I
despised or were bored by.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

development. We all figured it was coming. But I swear, in a TV show where
violence and nudity are a common thing, this time, I couldn’t even watch. I was
horrified. Disgusted. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;You have every right to do so, if you want. I won’t begrudge
you your right. (I repeat, it WAS awful). But…as much as we may pretend to
understand the reasons …we have only read the books. The TV show is clearly a
different beast. And&amp;nbsp; no, they don’t always
make the right choices. But, this is another one of my flaws, one I recognize,
and have discussed a length.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;I’m a writer, you see. I like to give other writers
the benefit of the doubt. I like to think that there’s a reason for whatever is
going on. I usually finish every book I read, even if I want to rip the pages
out, because…well, because I never feel like I can properly criticize if I don’t
have the full story.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

wasn’t just raping a woman for the shock value. Maybe it wasn’t more violence
in an already violent show just because violence sells. Maybe there’s a reason
that serves the story.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;I hope so. And it’s okay if you’re not a masochist as
I am. What happened to Sansa wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t fun. IT WASN’T EVEN IN
THE BOOK. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;





























&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;But, hey, it could
still make for a damn good story.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

two years. When they announced Cristina was leaving, I jumped ship. I didn’t
even watch her final season. The show without Cristina didn’t make much sense
to me. And yet, I never badmouthed the show or the writers. I didn’t tell
people to stop watching. I adjusted my expectations …this was not about
Meredith and Cristina, after all. This was, and had always been, about Meredith
and Derek. That’s the story they were telling. And I was okay with that (even
if I wasn’t that interested).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

gloriously spoiled, and I’m glad. SO GLAD. I won’t shed any tears, because it’s
been a while since I’ve been emotionally involved with this show. But, still, I
feel kind of cheated, in a way. Betrayed. Hoodwinked.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

or go watch a movie, you enter into a contract with the writers. It’s a vague
thing, but it sort of goes like this: You can break my heart, and then put it
back together again. I understand. I won’t ask you not to. All I ask is for you
to be fair. I’ll take it…as long as the journey makes sense.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

one (Oh, Lupin, Lupin). At first, understanding is a poor comfort. But with
space, and time, you start to get it. There was a reason. IT SUCKED, but there
was a reason. You take a deep breath. You let it go. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

story you thought you were telling is not the right one. Take &lt;i&gt;Arrow&lt;/i&gt;, for example. They thought they
were going to tell us the great love story of Oliver and Laurel, and yet, three
seasons later, they’re telling another great love story and Laurel is nowhere
to be seen. And we smile. We like it. They sold their story. It makes sense, so
we nod and we not only accept it, we embrace it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

will say. It doesn’t make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. And
yes, maybe it doesn’t. Or maybe it does. Maybe it’s just me who will never,
ever again, watch anything that is associated with Shonda Rhimes. And yes, that’s
personal. I have loved some episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, and I have cried, and I
have enjoyed it. And maybe I still could have. With the right story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;No fue amor a primera vista,
lo mío con Galeano. Ni a segunda, ni a tercera. Fue un amor de esos difíciles, &amp;nbsp;que se fue labrando poco a poco, que requirió convencimiento,
fe, ganas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Lo leí por primera vez a los
quince años. (Cada vez que comienzo un cuento así, con x o y libro que leí en
la escuela, la cosa termina mal). Galeano es muchas cosas, pero no es lectura
ideal para jóvenes de quince años. Mucho menos cuando el libro escogido fue &lt;i&gt;Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina&lt;/i&gt;. Como
toda persona sensata, lo odié a muerte. Me enemisté con Galeano. Es más, casi
que me enemisté con los latinoamericanos en general, por culpa de ese libro. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pero la vida da muchas
vueltas. Las lecturas regresan. Los libro se te pegan como una lapa y por más
que quieres no te puedes deshacer de ellos. &amp;nbsp;(Te esperan. Siempre te esperan). Años después
Dios me mandaría una amiga con un gran amor por Galeano. Ella no me comentaría
de este amor hasta mucho después, hasta cuando yo ya confiaba en sus gustos, en
sus recomendaciones. No vuelvas a leer ese libro, me dijo. Léete &lt;i&gt;Días y Noches de Amor y de Guerra&lt;/i&gt;, y
luego hablamos. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Tuvimos mucho de qué hablar.
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;(Tanto. Tanto). Pedí perdón luego,
claro está. A Galeano, al universo, a los latinoamericanos en general. Leí &lt;i&gt;Espejos&lt;/i&gt; y descubrí el mundo. Me enamoré
del &lt;i&gt;Libro de los Abrazos&lt;/i&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Entendí mi parte política, me sentí latina, americana,
parte de este continente maravilloso que tanto ha sufrido y tanto ha ganado
(por primera vez en la vida). Galeano, para mí, fue un maestro. Fue palabras
bonitas sobre cosas serias. Fue fondo más que forma. O quizás fue fondo &lt;i&gt;con&lt;/i&gt; forma. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hoy, que Galeano no está ya
con nosotros, solo me arrepiento de una cosa. El amor me pego demasiado fuerte.
Leí demasiado. Me queda poco de él que descubrir. Poco camino por recorrer. (Teóricamente,
al menos)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Termino con una frase, no de
Galeano, irónicamente, pero ya que él la usó primero, no creo que me lo hubiera
reprochado: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-US;&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;i&gt;La&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;utopía&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;está
en el&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;horizonte&lt;/span&gt;. Me acerco dos
pasos, ella se aleja dos pasos. Camino diez pasos y el horizonte se desplaza
diez pasos más allá. Por mucho que camine, nunca la alcanzaré. Entonces, ¿para
qué sirve la utopía? Para eso: sirve para caminar.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: ES-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

mundo, me refiero a absolutamente &lt;i&gt;todo&lt;/i&gt;
el mundo. Metemos la pata. Así estamos hechos. Escogemos mal, tomamos malas
decisiones y, para colmo, la mayor parte del tiempo, no sabemos qué hacer para
corregir nuestras metidas de pata épicas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

favoritas haya pensado que ese vestido, justo ESE vestido, era el indicado para
los Oscars? (Y ni hablemos del cabello, ni los accesorios, ni el acompañante).
Nunca han mirado una película histórica, de esas de las marchas por los
derechos civiles en los Estados Unidos y han pensado, ufff, hay metidas de pata
y hay METIDAS DE PATA. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

de más. (Twitter, te estoy mirando a ti). Compartimos de más. Nos ponemos
zapatos de tacones inhumanos con los que no podemos caminar justo el día que
nos toca caminar, pues, porque se ven bien, y antes muerta que sencilla, ¿no?
Decimos cosas que no pensamos en un ataque de rabia, le hacemos daño a gente
que queremos, mentimos para salirnos del problema, creando un problema aún más
grande. Escribimos la escena final de la novela solo para darnos cuenta meses después
de que todo es una mierda y hay que volver a escribir todas y cada una de las
palabras. Así es la vida. Complicada. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

tan, pero tan bien que pensaremos que sí, todo es parte de un plan más grande. Días
donde nada tiene sentido. La cuestión es saber seguir adelante. Hoy quizás lo
hicimos mal. Mañana nos equivocaremos de nuevo. Solo hay que aprender.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Sí, sí. Lo admito. Algunas
de las cosas que escribo me pasaron a mí. Sé que lo he negado anteriormente,
pero bueno, seamos serios. De alguna forma u otra, &lt;i&gt;you do write what you know&lt;/i&gt;. Pueden considerar esto mi confesión.
Yo, he caminado por las calles de Barcelona. He tomado cervezas. He comido
mangos, tapas y helados de café. He besado gente. He ido a la playa. Me he sentido
sola.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;¿No es exactamente la confesión
que esperaban, o sí?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;He escrito de este tema
antes (varias veces) y, sin falta, sigue siendo la primera pregunta en cada
conversatorio/email/comentario/reseña. Cuando imagine que iba a escribir esta
vez, considere comenzar con un video de la canción de Frozen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;Let
it goooooooooooooo, let it gooooooooooooo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;. Pero, eso igual no va a pasar. &lt;i&gt;You’re not going to let it go&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Así que, lo mejor que puedo
hacer es continuar con la confesión.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mis personajes han sentido
rabia. Yo también. Se han enamorado, así como yo. Han viajado, han leído, han
gritado, han peleado. Yo también he hecho todas esas cosas. (Me atrevo a decir
que las ha hecho todo el mundo). Por eso son (espero) personajes reales. De
carne y hueso. Con los que se pueden identificar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Esa es la magia de escribir
(de leer). Descubrirte a ti misma en las páginas. Saber que Hermione es tan
sabelotodo como tú, y Anne of Green Gables igual de soñadora, y que a veces,
aunque solo a veces, eres tan buena con las computadoras como Lisbeth Salander.
Encontrar algo nuevo. Algo real. Algo posible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Y eso por eso que a veces el
personaje soy yo. A veces dice lo que pienso, y sueña lo que sueño. (De vez en
cuando dice todo lo que contrario). Pero solo a veces. &lt;i&gt;Write what you know&lt;/i&gt;, dicen, pero siempre he pensado que la máxima está
incompleta. &lt;i&gt;Write what you know&lt;/i&gt;, sí,
pero &lt;i&gt;don’t write only that&lt;/i&gt;. Escribe
lo que quieres. Lo que sueñas. Lo que deseas. Lo que tus amigos dicen (o tus
enemigos). Lo que muestran los periódicos, la televisión, las películas. Lo que
nadie se atreve a decir. Lo que ya se ha dicho muchas veces antes. Escribe,

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Es un tema medio escabroso.
De esos de los que todo el mundo tiene una opinión. Y sin embargo, yo,
INGENUAMENTE, pensé que el debate causado por el bien intencionado pero
completamente inefectivo proyecto de ley “anti-piropos” presentado ante la
Asamblea, sería algo bueno. Siempre es mejor hablar del tema, pensé.
Discutirlo. Que la gente lo entienda.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mi error, entiendo ahora,
fue dar por sentado que todo el mundo estaba en la capacidad de entender.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ser mujer y salir a la calle
es una cosa complicada. Suena exagerado, pero es así. Hay miles de cosas que
uno tiene que pensar antes de dar el primer paso fuera de su casa. Y no solo
son las normales &amp;nbsp;(me veo bien, esta ropa
combina, etc.), sino también las inverosímiles, (estoy vestida&amp;nbsp; de forma apropiada para el área de la ciudad
a la que me dirijo, llevo algo en mi cartera con lo que pueda protegerme si me
atacan). Salir a la calle significa, a veces, tragarse la dignidad, sonreír a
pesar de todo, mantener la frente en alto cuando se tienen ganas de llorar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;No exagero. En serio. Las
palabras no hacen daño, leí por ahí esta semana. Pero es mentira. Hieren. Causan
miedo. Asco. Rabia. Deberían sentirse halagadas, escuché también por ahí. A
otras ni les hacen caso. Y me reí. Me reí porque la única otra respuesta
posible era llorar, y la persona que dijo semejante cosa no se merece mis lágrimas.
Me reí porque ya no solo me tengo que aguantar que me falten al respeto, tengo
que disfrutarlo. Es un cumplido. Un piropo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Quizás, lo peor que escuché fue la frase: Hay libertad de expresión. Me ha tomado un par de días procesarla.
Entender que respuesta debo dar a esta idea. Hace no mucho escribí sobre
respetar el derecho ajeno, justo después de los atentados de Charlie Hebdo. Este
tipo de pensamiento va en contra de esa idea. Hay libertad de expresión, sí.
Eres libre de ser un cerdo machista si quieres, pero no eres libre de acosarme
a MÍ, individualmente, por tus creencias. La libertad no incluye el acoso, la intimidación,
el atropello. Burlarse de una figura pública en un periódico dista mucho, muchísimo
de que 3 hombres te griten a ti, a cinco metros de distancia, todo lo que
quieren hacerte.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Así son los panameños, añadió
alguien, como la cereza del pastel. Esos son los piropos que saben. Habrá que
aguantarse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Y no. A mí no me gustan este
tipo de piropos. No me da la gana de soportarlo, ni de tener que cambiarme de
acera para poder mantener un poco de dignidad, ni de pensar dos veces si debo salir
a comprar comida porque en la esquina hay cinco trabajadores de construcción juntos,
y tengo que pasar por ahí, no hay forma de evitarlo. A mí no me gusta ser un
objeto. Y soy persona. Y las personas decimos basta. Hasta aquí. No aguanto más.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;Big words, I know. And yet, the truest I have ever
spoken. Books don’t raise you, some people say. They can’t influence you that
much. Those people clearly don’t read much, because books have taught me more
than I can put into words. Books have shaped me; have given me ideas, desires,
passions. (And better grammar and vocabulary, but that’s neither here nor
there). Some books have influenced me more than others. They’re not the most
beloved, nor, perhaps, the most important books I have ever read. But without these
books I would be…well, someone else entirely. And since I quite like who I am,
I think that’s to be celebrated.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;So, without further ado:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;1. Anne
of Green Gables&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;, Lucy Maud
Montgomery. Anne taught me the wonders of being different. She taught me to
love words, to appreciate the beauty of a perfect line of prose. Maybe I was
meant to be a writer; perhaps I would have fallen into it anyway. But as it
stands, I owe a debt of gratitude to Anne, for the words.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;2. Harry
Potter Series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;, J.K Rowling.
The words are one thing, the idea is another. Harry taught me, in a way that
perhaps no other book has before or after, how you can love a book, how you can
drown in it, discuss it for hours, obsess over it, understand it, live it. It
also, in a very roundabout way, taught me how to be brave, how to speak up, how
to think for myself, and how to make friends.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;3. The
Kite Runner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;, Khaled
Hosseini. My first experience (and to date the most harrowing) with the idea
that a book can break your heart, and then heal it all over again, just like
life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;4. The
Gospel according to Jesus Christ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;, Jose Saramago. I had a hard time choosing between one Saramago book,
because I think if this post were called authors that made me who I am, he’d be
the first on the list. This book earns its place mostly because the lessons
were harsher than in other books, what I got out of it more important. Because
this book was a master class in asking questions, in challenging the
status-quo, in not believing everything you see or hear.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;5. The
Little Prince&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;, Antoine de
Saint-Exupery. Probably the first book of all the ones on this list I ever
read, and one I re-read constantly. I wish I could say it taught me to think
like a child (a tall order), but at least I can say it taught me to think
outside the box, to see with the heart, in a way. To feel.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

I first encountered this book many years ago, when I
was young, and insecure, and terrified of being different. It’s not Gibran’s
best known work, or its most renowned, but for me, it will forever signify acceptance,
understanding, and maybe even permission to be who you are. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Asimov. My dad used to read me Asimov as a bedside story, and of all the
stories I ever heard, this was the one that stuck with me, the one about
changing, about being better than you are, about not accepting fate, but making

more. And if we tell it, if we make it mean something, then, sometimes, we can

fair, and fair is sometimes unfair. At the age this book fell into my hands, I
couldn’t understand this concept, even though it was clearly outlined, but I’m
still glad Grisham tried to teach me before it was time for life to do so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This book, I think, has influenced a lot of people, in
a multitude of different ways. I re-read it recently, and the thing I can
remember getting out of it, and it is a big thing, a life changing thing is
this: Life goes on. You can get through it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

read leaves a little in you, even the books you hate. &amp;nbsp;But these are the ones I could write down
without thinking, the most important ones, or perhaps, just the ones that
better encompass this particular time of my life. I’ll keep reading. I’ll find
more. Books are always there, and books will continue to help me become more of
who I am. A better version of me. Maybe they’ll help me find the &lt;i&gt;me &lt;/i&gt;inside the shell that is …well, me. That’s
what they do. Even when you don’t want them to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Nace la paz. O algo así. Me tendrá
que perdonar Benito Juárez por la cita, pero es que la cosa se está poniendo un
poco dudosa. &lt;i&gt;Todos&lt;/i&gt; (y hablo de todos
en el gran sentido de la palabra) estamos de acuerdo con el fondo de la cuestión,
pero en la práctica…en la práctica, que difícil es.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hablo de respeto en general.
Respeto a las opiniones ajenas. Respeto a la forma de expresar estas opiniones.
Respeto por esas cosas con las que estás de acuerdo, y respeto por las cosas
que te parecen repugnantes. En fin, respeto con &lt;b&gt;R&lt;/b&gt; mayúscula y en negritas. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Fue muy fácil para mí usar
esta máxima mientras hablábamos de los horribles atentados en la revista
Charlie Hebdo, en Francia. Nada justifica eso, ni un insulto real o percibido
contra tu religión, ni las diferencias, ni odios heredados. Nada. Llenarte de razón
contra algo que te parece abismal, absurdo, es de las cosas más sencillas del
mundo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Pero ay, como cuesta cuando
te voltean la tortilla. Cuando estas sentada frente a la televisión escuchando
lo que, a tu leal saber y entender, son una sarta de estupideces salir de la
boca de lo que después del espectáculo de anoche no puedes calificar de otra
manera que una partida de ineptos, y tu mente te dice, te grita, que hay gente
que no tiene derecho a hablar.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Si no tuvieron la desgracia
de ver el “interrogatorio” (yo lo llamaría más bien linchamiento) de nuestros “honorables”
Diputados al Administrador de la Autoridad del Canal de Panamá, Jorge Quijano,
pues, bien por ustedes. Seguro se levantaron esta mañana con algo de fe en el proceso.
Yo, sin embargo, ya sé que tipo de personas nos representan, así que la fe se
ha desvanecido. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La verdad es que todo el
mundo tiene derecho a hablar. Una parte de mi dice que eso no significa que
todo el mundo debería hacerlo, pero en el fondo, hasta las estupideces son
buenas. Constructivas. Yo aprendiste algo anoche. Aprendí que ser Diputado no
es tan difícil. Aprendí que hablar en público es una cosa más complicada de lo
que pensaba. Aprendí que hay que pensar antes que hablar. Aprendí que el
respeto al derecho ajeno es mucho más difícil en la práctica que en la teoría. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La mayoría de esas cosas ya
las sabia, pero siempre es bueno cuando la gente esa a la que le pagan
demasiada plata por representarte te enseña algo. Aunque simplemente sea que
hay que hacer todo lo que esté a tu alcance para no ser como ellos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“&lt;i&gt;If you want to keep a secret, you must also
hide it from yourself.”&lt;/i&gt; es una de las frases que más recuerdo de 1984, el
maravilloso y espeluznante libro de George Orwell sobre una sociedad que
seguramente nunca, nunca podría existir. (yeaaaah, riiiiight). Siempre me han
gustado las exageraciones como forma de expresión literaria, así que la idea ha
tenido un cierto &lt;i&gt;appeal&lt;/i&gt; para mí. Eso
es, claro está, hasta que me di cuenta que estamos más cerca de la exageración de
lo que yo pensaba. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Nadie
está monitoreando mis emails, o mis conversaciones telefónicas. (Creo). Pero,
aun si lo estuvieran, no me preocupa mucho la cosa. La vida ha cambiado (no
cambiado así un poquito, como tonos de un mismo color, no, la vida es un color
diametralmente opuesta al que comenzó ya, amarillo y morado, nada en común). La
vida la compartimos nosotros mismos, en Facebook, en Twitter, en Instragram, y
quien sabe de qué otra manera más. Los secretos son una cosa del pasado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Escribo
un cuento en la mañana, y cuando lo publico en la tarde cinco personas me
preguntan cuándo me pasó eso. Termino una novela y sé que la gente pensará que
todas y cada una de las palabras son mías (y lo son, aunque no sea yo). Antes
(tiempo pasado, historia patria), daba explicaciones. Esta es una de las preguntas
favoritas de la gente. ¿Qué tanto de lo que es tu personaje tiene que ver con
tu personalidad? ¿Y eso, te pasó a ti? ¿Cuándo? ¿Cómo? ¿Dónde? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ya
no contesto. Mis historias hablan por mí. No estoy segura que dicen.
Seguramente cada persona encontrara la respuesta que quiere en ellas. Mi vida
no es un secreto. No pretendo que lo sea. Fue Emile Zola que dijo, mucho antes
de la época está en que vivimos, en la que parece que la privacidad no existe,
en la que el gobierno, el vecino, el conocido y el amigo parecen saber más de tu
vida que tú mismo, las palabras que enmarcan lo que ser un artista significa
para mí. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

lo que pensamos. En alto. Con fuerza. Seamos honestos. Y sobre todo, aceptemos
nuestros defectos, nuestros errores. Lo dije antes, y lo repito: Ya no hay
secretos. Alguien se enterara tarde o temprano, seamos políticos, artistas,
abogados, ingenieros. Y si alguien se va a enterar de mi vida, pues, prefiero
echar yo el cuento. Al fin y al cabo, las palabras son lo mío.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Este año decidí escribir otra lista de cosas (que al final es lo mismo, pero quizás
tenga más posibilidades de cumplir). Estas son, si quieren llamarlo así, mis
resoluciones interiores, las cosas que cambiar para adentro, para conmigo
misma, para, ser, quizás, un poquito más feliz. Se las comparto porque quizás
les sirvan. Quizás nos sirvan a todos.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

importa si ella es más bonita, o si la ropa le queda mejor, o si él es mucho más

a favorite kid would be. (And yet I don’t have kids, and I’m perfectly capable
of choosing a favorite book, so maybe it isn’t like that). I read exactly 100
books this year, because that was my goal, and I’m big on goals and things like
that (though I do have a few days to go so, who knows, maybe the round number
will go up). Here are my Top 5 books of the year, and I swear, the order was
harder than it was to wilt down the list to five.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

for Murakami defies explanations, so part of me thinks I shouldn’t even try,
but I persevere, mostly to say that everyone should read him. There is
something there for everyone. Most people I know who love Murakami have found
something different to love about him. The language. The hidden messages. The
subtleties. The directness. The evasiveness. I contradict myself, I know. That’s
what Murakami does. That’s what he makes us do. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I discovered this author by chance, and if you discover
him because of this list, then I will have done you some good. Come back and
tell me so, if you can. I have gone on to read another one of his books and to
purchase one of his novels, which I have just started reading and I can
unequivocally say I haven’t enjoyed a new (FOR ME) author as much as him in years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Sometimes I don’t like his characters. Most times, in
fact. That’s probably what makes him such a great writer. Because those
characters you don’t like, they’re real people. You recognize them. You know
them. That’s precisely why you don’t like them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Flynn&lt;/i&gt;. With all the hype surrounding this book, you’d think I would have
read it before. But not, I’m contrary like this. I refused. I caved in just
before the movie came out, mostly because I like to know things before I go see
movies, and boy, am I glad I did. Reading the book is always a completely
different experience than seeing a movie, and I’m glad I got all the twists and
turns and the WTF and SERIOUSLY and, ARE YOU KIDDING ME’s are out of the way
while reading a book. And whether I’m in the minority or not, as far as I’m
concerned …the ending? Brilliant stuff. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Amélie Nothomb. &lt;/i&gt;I love the title in Spanish much more, and I read the book
in Spanish, but since we’re writing this in English, writing the title in Spanish
did not make much sense. I contemplated leaving this book out of the list,
since it seemed a little out of place, but the book has earned its spot. The
author has earned its spot. There’s a certain sense of being out-of-place in
the novel as well, that I could relate to. I guess, now that I think about it, we
can all relate to it, one way or another.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

nuestros padres, más que nada. Hay uno que otro libro, la ficción tratando de
poner en palabras lo que no tiene nombre. Hay un Informe de la Comisión de la Verdad,
más un resumen de atrocidades de veinte años que una historia de cómo terminó
todo. Hay documentales, varios, más conocidos en Estados Unidos que aquí (irónico,
¿no?).Hay poco, casi nada. Y hay gente como yo, con recuerdos fragmentados, con
un rompecabezas que por más que intentemos nunca coge forma. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Probablemente
la graduación era el 20, o el 19, y fue cancelada por razones obvias. Tampoco
me devolvieron las manualidades que dejé en mi puesto ese último día. (El
tiempo me ha hecho entender que las manualidades no son lo mío, así que
seguramente no fue una gran pérdida, pero aun así, al año siguiente, al
regresar a la escuela, estaba convencida de que estarían ahí, esperándome. No
estaban)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

color blanco. Curioso como un color viene a definir un recuerdo, como una niña
de cinco puede procesar que había mucha gente vestida de blanco en las calles,
sin que eso signifique nada, no entonces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

así como quien ve una película que no tiene ninguna relación con la realidad,
no las imágenes del Chorillo ardiendo, ni de soldados, ni mucho menos de
tanques, no, lo que recuerdo es la gente intentando arrastrar refrigeradoras,
televisores, estufas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

supe como llegó ahí, quizás mis papas si y nunca me dijeron. Solo recuerdo el
hecho en sí, la bala, la bebé que no estaba en su cuna en ese momento, y lo
raro y a la vez normal que era todo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

pasado muchos años buscando en los recovecos de mi memoria. No sé mucho más. He

diciembre, y ya son 25 años. Muchos años. Demasiados, si me preguntan a mí.
Demasiados para mi generación, y ni hablemos de la generación de mi hermana. Muchos
años de no saber, de no entender, de esperar una historia que no llega, no
completa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

no mientras la #memoriadetodos sea una cosa que resucitamos cada año durante
estas fechas, una cosa personal, una cosa privada. Ya ha pasado suficiente
tiempo. &amp;nbsp;Hagamos que la memoria de todos
sea, en verdad, una cosa compartida. Hagamos patria contando una historia que
hace mucho, mucho tiempo debió ser contada. Contémosla de verdad, con ganas. Escribamos,
cantemos, pintemos, hagamos arte. Descubrámonos de nuevo en la verdad que por
tanto tiempo hemos callado. Hay gente que dice que el arte no cura las heridas.
Ay, qué triste la vida de esa gente. ¡Qué triste!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Este el tema de nunca
acabar. En serio. De NUNCA acabar. Todo el mundo tiene una opinión, algunas controversiales,
otras un poco menos.&amp;nbsp; Hubiera pensado que
la consecuencia normal del fallo de la Sección CUENTO en el Concurso Ricardo
Miró 2014 hubiera sido una amplia discusión sobre el tema. Pero eso no ha sucedido.
Con respeto a todos los involucrados, esto ya va siendo más algo así como un
concurso de pataletas. Y ese es el problema. Podemos estar en desacuerdo. Es más,
es hasta sano que lo estemos. Pero que las diferencias de opinión sirvan para
algo. Que sirvan para mejorar. Para crecer. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Como de opiniones vamos,
esta es la mía: No está mal que el concurso se haya declarado desierto. Los
concursos son, hasta cierto punto, una ruleta rusa. Todos los entendemos. Una
cosa es calidad literaria y otra es gustos, y las dos cosas influyen al momento
de que cada jurado tome su decisión. Este año los tres jurados coincidieron en
que para SU criterio y SUS gustos, no había un claro ganador. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Repito, &lt;i&gt;su&lt;/i&gt; criterio, y &lt;i&gt;sus&lt;/i&gt;
gustos. Quizás otro jurado hubiera decidido diferente. Tal vez haya gente que
piense que no es justo. Pero es que estos son los jurados que tocaron en el
2014. Este es &lt;i&gt;su &lt;/i&gt;criterio. Si no respetamos
el criterio de esos jurados, como podemos respetar el de los jurados del año
anterior, o el de los jurados que hace unos años premiaron a Neco Endara, o el
de los jurados del próximo año y el que sigue, y el que sigue. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Para mí, por ahí va la cosa,
por una cuestión de respeto, puro y simple. A mi hay escritores panameños muy
buenos, muy reconocidos, con gran trayectoria, que simplemente no me gustan. No
me mueven. Puedo leer sus escritores, reconocer la técnica, saber que tengo
mucho que aprender de ellos y, al mismo tiempo, no disfrutarlos. Hay otros que
adoro por encima de todas las cosas. Así es la vida. Por eso somos diferentes.
Que aburrido seria si nos gustara lo mismo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Los jurados son personas (LO
SON, LO JURO). A veces, a nuestro parecer, se equivocan. Pero sus
equivocaciones, o no, sus gustos, sus criterios, nada tienen que ver con la discusión
real que debería estar ocurriendo en este momento.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Discutamos que hace falta en
la cuentística panameña, que temas requieren más profundidad, que técnicas se
usan muy poco, quienes son los maestros a seguir. Leamos a los extranjeros, no porque no seamos
lo suficientemente buenos, sino porque hay cosas que aprender de todos lados, y
el día que dejemos de ver esta realidad es el día en que realmente nos quedaremos
estancados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Que el fallo sirva de algo,
compañeros escritores (dicho con voz de dirigente&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18.3999996185303px;&quot;&gt;estudiantil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;). Que sirva&amp;nbsp;para
aumentar las ansias, no de ganar, sino de escribir una obra que valga la pena
ser mencionada a lado de la de Chuchu Martínez, Rogelio Sinan y Ernesto Endara.
No nos quedemos atrás. Camino siempre hay.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

contra la Mujer? Un poco larga la frase, por no decir un tanto absurda. Y ¿a quién
se supone que debo felicitar? ¿A las mujeres por sobrevivir? ¿A los hombres no
violentos? ¿A la sociedad que avanza a pasos agigantados y a pesar de eso todavía
necesita de un día como este? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

felicitar a nadie. Así no comienza el diálogo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Tal vez comienza así: Yo soy
mujer, y hoy me doy cuenta de lo afortunada que soy. Nunca he sido violada ni
he sufrido ningún tipo de violencia física por el hecho de serlo. Como toda
mujer, sin embargo, he hecho el mismo trabajo que un hombre por mucho menos
sueldo. Me han hecho sentir incomoda, insegura y preocupada. He caminado hacia
mi carro de noche mirando hacia todos lados con las llaves en la mano, por si
acaso necesito usarlas como arma.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;He tenido que aguantar “cumplidos”
al caminar por la calle. He aprendido que es mejor alejarse que decir que no.
He sentido miedo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Aun así, yo soy de las dichosas.
El miedo a algo que puede pasarte es infinitamente mejor que el miedo a algo
que ocurre todos los días. (En India, en Afganistán, en Siria, en Honduras, en
todos lados)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Repito. No hay que felicitar
a nadie el día de hoy. (No es un día de esos). Ni siquiera vale felicitarnos a
nosotros mismos por lo mucho que hemos avanzado. (No hemos avanzado lo
suficiente). Hoy, simplemente, nos toca abrir los ojos. Mirar. Entender, quizás.
No el feminismo. No las muchas razones que tienen las mujeres para sentirse
oprimidas, asustadas, menospreciadas. No. Esa es la discusión de todos los días.
Esa es la pelea de igualdad. Esa sigue viva, pero no es la de hoy. La de hoy es
por aquellas mujeres que no pelean simplemente por ser iguales, que no pelean
por una educación, que no pelean por una voz, sino que pelean por sus vidas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Suena absurdo que todavía se
necesite un día como hoy. Pero así somos. Aquí estamos. Tal vez (sueño
maravilloso) en quince, veinte, cuarenta años esta fecha resulte absurda. Ojalá
sea así. &amp;nbsp;Ojalá me toque verlo. Mientras
tanto, no me queda más que decirlo en alto. Gritar. Por las hermanas Mirabal.
Por aquella mujer en India, y la otra, y aquella en Afganistán, y en Honduras, y
en muchos otros lugares. Por ellas, y por todas nosotras. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I think it’s because I found myself as a reader AND as a writer thanks to
Harry, or, should I say, thanks to J.K Rowling. As a reader, because there was
a lot of time in between books for conjectures and for discussing hidden clues
and author intent, and as a writer, because, thanks to the HP fandom and the
people I met while I was part of it (it feels like a long time ago, in a galaxy
far, far away), I was first introduced to the wonderful notion that hey, maybe
I COULD do this. Maybe it was possible. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

I’ve grown up (mostly). I’ve
written (a whole lot). I’ve lost contact with most of the people I discussed
the Harry/Ginny dynamic with (though, thankfully, not all of them. The
important ones remain). And yet, walking into Diagon Alley, and then, later,
into Hogsmeade, in a recent trip to Universal, I felt fifteen again, reading
Harry Potter for the first time. I remembered midnight lines, dressing up and meeting
up people I’d only talked to online to go wait on more lines and see a movie. I
remembered the magic, and the awe, and that final chapter, the culmination of
ten years of writing for an author, and of waiting, for its fans. And once
again, I thought, let me write something like this. Something this wonderful,
and complex, and …life-changing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;&quot;&gt;Perhaps I never will. Maybe I’m asking too much of the
universe. Harry Potter has already given me more than one person should ask
for. But more than all those things I’ve mentioned above, it’s given me
lessons. Life lessons, yes, but also writing lessons. Plan ahead. Don’t yield
to other people’s opinions, also. These are your characters, and no one knows
them better than you. Take as much time as the story needs. And, above all those
keep writing, even when you are at your lowest, even when things look bad, even
when there’s nothing to be gained by it. Keep writing because that’s who you
are. It’s what you do. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Hogwarts, this time, with those people who’d appreciate it just as much.
Lessons are fun, and exploring is also fun, but there’s nothing quite like
geeking out with people who understand what every little thing means, and how
hard it was to get to that point. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

una cosa curiosa. Supongo que es lo mismo en todos lados, pero como mi
experiencia está limitada a un año en Barcelona donde pasé más tiempo buscando inspiración
que siendo parte de una comunidad y mis años de disque escritora seria acá en Panamá,
no puedo más que opinar de lo que somos aquí, en este pueblo chico, infierno

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La
mafia de la literatura panameña, entonces. Suena feo, elitista y hasta ridículo,
pero no lo es. Al menos no del todo. La mafia acepta nuevos integrantes. La
mafia subsiste porque hay nuevos integrantes. Pero la mafia se mantiene, también,
porque a pesar de ser abierta, de alguna forma separa a los nuevos integrantes
de los jefes de la “familia”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mi
conocimiento sobre la mafia está limitado a haber visto 24 veces las películas de
El Padrino, además de haber leído el libro. (Porque el libro siempre es mejor),
pero a que no les suena lo que les digo? ¿No? ¿En serio no? Puede ser que si no
les suene sea porque a) No son escritores. b) No son panameños. c) Han tenido
la suerte de encontrar su camino hacia dentro de la mafia ganando un concurso,
tomando un Diplomado en Creación Literaria y/o siendo familia/amigo de alguien
que ya pertenecía a la mafia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Si
no están en ninguno de esas tres categorías, seguro nos entendemos. Mafia. Sí.
MAFIA. No una mafia mala, pero una mafia cerrada. Protectora del &lt;i&gt;status quo&lt;/i&gt;. Las mismas caras de siempre.
Las mismas figuras.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Todo
esto lleva a que tengamos una mala impresión de todo el asunto, de los premios,
de los #escritorespanameños, y a veces, hasta del oficio de escribir. Que
pensemos que todo el mundo escribe como ese escritor que nos mandaron a leer en
la escuela y que todos odiamos, que nadie está interesado en ayudar al otro a
mejorar, y que es más fácil escribir que ser, propiamente, un escritor
panameño.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A
veces es cierto. Muchas veces, sin embargo, no lo es. La literatura te da más
de lo que te quita. Te da maestros, modelos. (A veces quiero regresar a cuando
era poco más de una niña y daba clases con Ariel Barría. O a los talleres en
Exedra con Carlos Wynter. O, mucho más atrás, a cuando Enrique Jaramillo Levi
me regresó mi primer cuento todo marcado de rojo.) Te da amigos de por vida.
(Esos que se ponen triste contigo, y con los que tú te pones feliz). También te
da golpes. No es fácil, ser escritor. Ni aquí, ni en ningún lado, supongo. Somos
(y me incluyo), una comunidad cerrada. A veces faltan espacios. Casi siempre
falta critica. Pero hay gente que ama este oficio. Hay gente que ama las
letras. Hay gente que tiene empeño, ganas, fuerzas. Quizás no se ve desde
afuera, pienso, cada vez que voy a un taller y escucho las quejas de los jóvenes
sobre lo aburridos, cerrados y grises (GRISES, me dijo un niño, GRISES), que
son los escritores panameños. A lo mejor somos tan cerrados que damos una mala impresión,
concluyo cuando me escribe alguien de otro país hablando de la fama de los
escritores panameños. Tal vez necesitamos un cambio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La aceptación es el primer paso, ¿no? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

could only understand that the word makes you want to do it even more, then they
probably would dispense with the notion. But, even after all these years, we
keep telling people not to do stuff. Not to think stuff. Not to read stuff.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

post, so let’s just focus on the books you are, apparently, not supposed to read.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

very late in life, for my parents never even mentioned it. I read Lolita, for
example, at an age when I’m not wholly sure it was appropriate and if Saramago
and Dan Brown thought they could surprise me with their theories on Jesus
and/or the church, then they don’t know the kind of things I found in the
library at home. Point is, I didn’t know, as I do know, that the moral police
was out there, ready to tell you what you can and cannot read (possibly to try
to influence what you can or cannot think).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

though I’m sure there are many people who still consider them books to avoid.
(The dangerous ideas you might GET from them, oh no …). And so, in honor of
those people, I now present a LIST of my absolute favorite banned books I
learned many dangerous things from them, indeed. &lt;i&gt;How to think for myself. What freedom meant. The importance of speaking

new books who are not on any list but that people insist should be. There are
many lessons to be learned from books, banned or otherwise, but the most
important one, perhaps, is to make up your own mind. About what to read. And,
also, about what to think, and what to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

though few things have made me feel better in the past few weeks, somehow,
those books did the trick. Maybe it’s because lately I’ve been dreaming about
going back to more innocent times. Maybe it’s because they’re simple. Straightforward.
Perhaps they remind me of my dad, of easier times, of being happy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

undeniable magic. The kind you feel even though it makes no sense, the kind
that lifts your spirits, brings a smile to your face. The magic of belief, of
possibility, of hope. The magic of dreams.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

though, isn’t it true that, from time to time, we need a reminder of those
lessons we learned when we were little? As toddlers we learn to dream and hope,
and yet, sometimes, when we grow up, we lose sight of that. We lose sight of a
great many thing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

remember reading most of the stereotypical children’s books till I was older.
If I’m to be honest, I grew up surrounded by mostly age-inappropriate books,
because my parents believed reading was good, and most things could/should be
explained if kids were curious enough to ask.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

for my age-group, but today, it brought a smile to my face. Considering how
hard that’s been lately, and how today feels like an ominous day no matter
where you happen to live, it was just what the doctor ordered. So, yes, it’s September
11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, and thirteen years ago, bad things happened. And they keep
happening. Every day. Some are violent, some are cruel, and some are public,
but others are private. They don’t hurt any less because of a lack of
publicity, though. We all have our secret sorrows.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

un taller, como participante, nos poníamos en círculo. (Dinámica algo
intimidante, ya que no hay como esconderse). Luego alrededor de una mesa.
(Éramos menos) Esta vez, cuando me tocó a mi dar el taller (curiosamente, esto
da aun MAS miedo), estaban todos sentados frente a mí, como en escuelita.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

los talleres, la consigna era, con que haya un estudiante interesado, ya
habremos ganado algo. (¿Hay algo peor que no esperar algo de alguien?) Esto de
escribir, leer, contar, usar la imaginación, es una cosa que atrae a algunos,
me dijeron.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;(Mentira, mentira, mentira). No todo el mundo se involucrará con la

ideas. Si se les puede llegar. No es imposible. No nos rindamos antes de
tiempo. Ya les digo yo, y aquí están mis pruebas. Hay muchas historias en
Panamá. Y hay gente para contarlas. Y también, gente para leerlas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

mayo y en mi casa huele a mangos. Mi abuela los prefiere verdes, en una
ensalada de esas que casi no se pueden comer, pero con la que sueñas en las
tardes de noviembre. A mi mamá le gustan maduros, entre rojo y ese anaranjado
que no nos queda más que decir que es color mango, porque no hay otra palabra
para describirlo. A mí siempre me gustaron “pintones”, como diría mi abuelo,
que al fin y al cabo, es el que siempre nos los trae.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Un día, a finales de abril, me dirigí al &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Mercat de la Boqueria&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;, dispuesta a darme
un lujo. Pero el gusto costaba cuatro euros. ¡Cuatro euros por un mango! ¿Se lo
imaginan? Con lo que cuestan los mangos en Panamá. Me dio tanto asco solo de
pensarlo que tuve que irme sin él. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Con
cuatro euros se compran bastantes cosas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

añadir una cosa más a mi lista de todo lo que me hacía falta. Al fin y al cabo,
no lo extrañaría por mucho tiempo. Ya estaba llegando la hora de ir a casa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

que la vida no es siempre como uno la planea. A veces pasan cosas malas, que te
obligan a revalorar. Otras pasan cosas buenas, que te hacen dar gracias a Dios.

el próximo abril, dispuesta a comprarme el mango de cuatro euros y sentirme
nuevamente en casa, sentada bajo el palo aquel, en la finca de mi abuelo.
Comiendo uno, dos, cinco, siete, tantos como quisiera. Él me los daba ya
pelados. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

vez no había mangos. Ni uno solo, por más que yo estuviera dispuesta a pagar un
ojo de la cara por ellos. Se quedaron solamente en mis ansias, en mis

regresar tantas veces. Intenté hacerlo. Pero acá tenía una mejor vida. ¿Para
qué dejarla? Y si a veces la nostalgia era tanta que me daba por llorar, pues,
eso era normal. ¿Cómo no iba a extrañar?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

te fuiste tú. Te marchaste.

No tenía ganas. Mi casa
dejó de existir. Formé un hogar, primero, en un cuartito con miles de fotos, y
luego en un apartamento ultra-modernista que seguramente tú hubieras odiado.
Con un novio flaco y alto que corría maratones y con el que nunca me casaría,
porque ya no creía en eso, ya no creía en nada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

volví al &lt;i&gt;Mercat de la Boqueria&lt;/i&gt;,
porque me recordaba que nunca podría volver a pisar mi casa, no aquella que
dejé, pero en mis recuerdos, es siempre mayo, tú me abrazas y huele a mangos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

estoy segura que tú no me lo reprocharías. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

vez que hago una pausa. A veces cuando no las hago. Quiero imaginarte sonriendo,
pero no lo logró. Te veo en el hospital, con los ojos cerrados. Siempre. Ahí. No
quiero recordarte así. Pero tengo miedo. Si se va esa imagen, ¿se llevará
consigo todas las demás? Podre todavía verte sentado frente a la televisión
hasta el último momento, aunque los Dolphins fueran perdiendo por treinta
puntos. ¿Podré verte cantando una canción de esas que yo siempre decía eran de
viejo? O, ¿será que cuando te vayas, te vas por completo?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

las canciones. Pero el miedo es más fuerte. Ayer me tomó tres horas recordar tu

diríamos. Pero, ¿sabes que me da más miedo que la muerte, papito? El olvido. No
se me ocurre nada peor que olvidarte, que encontrarme en un día donde, al poner
mi cabeza en la almohada me doy cuenta que no he pensado ni un segundo en ti. No
me dejes llegar allá, papito. Te lo pido. Aunque creas que es lo mejor. Aunque intentes
que estemos bien. Bien ya no existe. Bien es un imposible. Y no puedo

cuando te aparecías por detrás, así, suavecito, y asustabas a todo el mundo. Y
de cuando me despertabas para ver si estaba durmiendo. Que rabia me daba. O la
vez que me despertaste para preguntarme el final de Harry Potter. Qué bueno que
te lo conté, papi. Qué bueno que esas cosas todavía están conmigo. Aunque ahora

Pero todavía se puede vivir (creo). Si lo intento, es porque se lo que dirías.
Lo imagino. No sé si con tu voz exacta, pero casi que puedo escuchar las
palabras. Y, si, papito. Yo también te quiero. Y lo intentaré. Lo prometo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Buenas tardes. Comienzo
dando las gracias a todos, por estar aquí, por el cariño que hemos recibido, por
parte de la familia, los amigos y la comunidad de Bolos, no solo de Panamá,
sino de muchos otros países donde mi papá hizo amigos, pasó tiempo, y dejó un
poquito de él. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mi papá solía decir que yo
era la mujer de las palabras. Y es cierto. Las palabras siempre han sido lo
mío. Pero en estos días las palabras me han fallado. Es curioso como algo que
yo siempre pensé estaría ahí siempre se desvanece en un instante. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A pesar de eso,&amp;nbsp; voy a intentar pararme aquí a hablarles de él.
Solo por un momento. Las palabras todavía no me han regresado completamente y,
en instantes como estos, sobran.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Mi papá era amor. No porque daba
amor, aunque si lo daba, no porque enseñaba amor, aunque eso también lo hacía.
No, mi papá era amor. No solo con nosotras, sino con todos los que tuvieron la
dicha de conocerlo. Si alguien alguna vez le pedía algo, mi papá se salía del
camino por hacerlo. Si alguien le preguntaba algo y él no lo sabía, mi papá lo
averiguaba. Cuando estaba chiquita mi papá y yo jugábamos un juego. Creo que le
tocó también a Giz. Hasta a mi mamá cuando hacíamos viajes largos. Yo lo
llamaba el juego de los useless facts. Ganaba el que averiguaba un fact que el
otro no sabía. Yo casi nunca ganaba. En verdad, casi nadie ganaba más que él. Mi
papá lo sabía todo. Pero en serio. Jugar Trivial Pursuit con él era una
experiencia temible. Muchos años después me di cuenta de que yo si ganaba. Yo
aprendía. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Él&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;ya no está, pero nosotras
somos mi papá. Somos fútbol americano, somos Argentina, somos golf, somos
juegos de mesa. Somos Piero. Serrat. Somos lo que él nos enseñó, lo que a él le
gustaba. Somos mi papá. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Como papá lo compartí con
Giselle, como hombre que enseñaba, que daba consejos, lo compartí con el mundo.
Mi mamá, sin embargo, lo tuvo todo para ella. Hace poco me contó esta historia.
Un día, saliendo de un examen, en la universidad, de esos donde uno casi que
sabe que le fue fatal, ella le pidió a mí papa algo. Dime algo, Eric. Mi papá
seguramente no tenía mucho que decir para consolarla. (Conociéndolo seguramente
sabia cuales habían sido cada una de las respuestas que había tenido mala. Él
era así). Pero si tenía una poesía para mi mamá. Se imaginan…una poesía. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hoy la tierra y los cielos
me sonríen,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hoy llega al fondo de mi
alma el sol,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hoy la he visto…, la he
visto y me ha mirado…,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Hoy creo en Dios! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Sin esa poesía quizás
no hubiéramos nacido Giselle y yo.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Es lo que decía antes. Amor.
A mi papá le sobraba. Nunca fue egoísta con eso. Nunca fue egoísta con nada.
Quizás por eso tenía tanta gente que lo quería. Mucha más, creo, de lo que él
se pudo imaginar. Ojala pudieras ver esta gente aquí reunida hoy, papito. Ojalá
pudieras darte cuenta de a cuanta gente tocaste, de cuanta gente aprendió de
ti, de cuanta gente te llevará con ellos, cada día, a cada paso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Y ojalá yo pueda en mi vida,
en mi trabajo, en lo que escribo, pienso y soy derrochar la cantidad de amor
que prodigabas tú, papi. Ojalá haya aprendido algo. Yo creo que sí. Pero como tú
dirías, &amp;nbsp;ahora hay que probarlo. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;



























&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Termino con esto: Cuando me
fui a Barcelona mi papá me hizo prometerle que iba a tener cuidado antes de
montarme al metro, que no iba a caminar sola por la ciudad de noche y que iba a
ir a ver mucho fútbol. Todas las promesas aún valen. Hace rato que no había
pensado en ellas. Pero no son las palabras en específico lo que importa. Es la
idea. Cuídate, quería decir mi papá. Cuídate y pásala bien. Y eso haré. Todas
lo haremos. Porque, al final, eso es lo que es el amor, ¿no? &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Mantener
las promesas pase lo que pase.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

hizo…GOLAZO! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!&amp;nbsp;
Que golazo de M7, sin lugar a dudas el mejor jugador de la liga, por no

Sonríe y me cautiva. No hay nada falso en ella. Al menos
nada que pueda discernir fácilmente. Me causa una fascinación que me sorprende
hasta a mí mismo. No se parece en nada a las anteriores. No se parece en nada a

por ahí en mi Ferrari, así que lo vendo y me conformo con un Mercedes. Dejo de

picado para Juanito, otra vez para M7, el control de M7 dentro del área
….peligro de gol, peligro de gol, peligro de gol ….M7 que chuta y ….el portero!
La ha parado el portero….que mala definición de M7 con toda la portería para
escoger la ha chutado suave y al cuerpo del portero….muy mal…La portería que se

paso. Ella ya se ha mudado conmigo. Últimamente hasta me escoge la ropa. No me
molesta. Es una señal de madurez. Un paso importante. Tengo ahora muchos más
trajes sobrios, menos corbatas y camisas coloridas. Al final, es importante la
imagen. No puede uno ser recordado como un payaso. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

por una mala racha…pues eso es normal. Hay veces que la pelota no quiere
entrar. Es como si tuviera mente propia. Que hoy, hoy no estoy de humor, parece

siempre. Ni las buenas rachas, ni las malas. Al final lo que queda es el

la pelota Pedro para M7, el tiro y….la falla! ¡LA FALLA! ¿Cómo es posible?
¿Cómo se falla eso? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

hay otra explicación. No es un problema mío, claro que no. Yo soy el mejor,
siempre lo he sido. Aunque si seguimos así corro el riesgo de que la gente
comience a ponerlo en duda. Nunca miran asistencias. No se fijan si uno se pasó
todo el juego defendiendo porque eso le pidió el entrenador.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

que defendiera. Haz los goles, M7, eso me decían. Tú solo haz los goles.
Nosotros nos encargamos de lo demás.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

como siempre. Las ganas siguen ahí, ahora multiplicadas por la falta de gol.
Sigo usando mis tacos favoritos. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
