Empecé a leer esta trilogía. Qué se yo de donde salieron esos libros, digamos que aparecieron en mi kindle. El primero me gustó, así que de una panzada leí el segundo y el tercero.
En síntesis, muy muy muy resumido, y dejando afuera miles de detalles, la historia es algo así:
- Chica se enamora de Chico.
- Chico se enamora de Chica.
- Ella es una princesa, él es un trabajador, así que su amor está prohibido.
- A ella no le importa, y está dispuesta a reformar ese pensamiento que impide el romance.
- Él no quiere arruinar la vida de ella, así que se aleja.
- Ella tiene el corazón roto.
- (Muuuuchas idas y venidas).
- Aparece Chico 2.
- Chico 2 es de la realeza, pero del reino enemigo.
- Chico 2 se enamora de Chica.
- Chico 2 enfrenta mil y una cosas, incluyendo tortura, pedido de amnistía, rechazo de toda la gente del reino de Chica.
- Chica se da cuenta que olvidó a Chico y se enamoró de Chico 2.
- Chica y Chico 2 viven felices para siempre, luchando contra la desaprobación de ambos reinos.
Después de tanto Twilight, me pareció copado que el personaje principal de la historia (Chica) se diera cuenta que no vale la pena estar con alguien que no está dispuesto a pelear por ella, en vez de dejar de comer, hablar, vivir, esperando que Chico cambie de opinión.
Bien! No?
Mmm...
Amazon reviews:
I absolutely loved the first and second books of this trilogy. I was overwhelmingly disappointed with the end. The romance with Chico 2 felt was so forced I couldn't enjoy the other aspects of the story. The plot of this novel was great, but I couldn't get past the superficial relationship between Chica and Chico 2. All they shared was lust. There was no real connection like that between Chica and Chico. I spent the first 2 books praying for Chico and Chica, knowing they would pull though. Then Chica just gave up, which was totally out of character for her.
The fact that she threw Chico and Chica away was disgusting. I tell everyone I know not to read this series due to the final book.
Such a disappointing ending! I was definitely surprised by the sudden switch from Chico to Chico 2. I like Chico 2, sure, but I feel like there's too much unfinished between Chica and Chico.
...
Entonces? Chica debería haber esperado pacientemente hasta que algún día (con suerte) Chico se diera cuenta que valía la pena estar con ella y a la mierda todo lo demás? Clah, debería haberse hecho un bollito en un bosque, dejar de comer, dejar de vivir, para que él sienta lástima y vuelva, aunque más no sea para que no vuelva a hacer lo mismo...
Un aplauso a todos aquellos escritores que idean a personas fuertes!

“Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.”
Un poco añejo, pero todavía vigente. Ranking de razones idiotas para no estar con quien te hace feliz:
- Silencio.
“Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.”
“To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”
“The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.”
“Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.”
- Orgullo.
“It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.”
“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.”
“No one ever choked to death swallowing his pride”
“Temper gets you into trouble. Pride keeps you there.”
- Cobardía.
“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”
“You are a coward when you even seem to have backed down from a thing you openly set out to do”
“Only the brave know how to forgive... a coward never forgave; it is not in his nature.”
- Idiotez.
“Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark, or the man afraid of the light?”
“While intelligent people can often simplify the complex, a fool is more likely to complicate the simple.”
“The fool is always beginning to live.”
“What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.”
“That's the penalty we have to pay for our acts of foolishness -- someone else always suffers for them.”
“Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.”
- Vergüenza.
“Here shame dissuades him, there his fear prevails, And each by turns his aching heart assails.”
“We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinion, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.”
“If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.”
- Miedo.
“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.”
“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”
“The key to change... is to let go of fear.”
“What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.”
“Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.”

En alguna parte leí que los únicos que comprenden la vida, el universo y todo, son los locos. Obviamente, para que no se lo cuenten a los demás, los encierran en un manicomio y gritan a los cuatro vientos "Pobre, no tiene idea de lo que está hablando, vive en un mundo de fantasía, puede la respuesta ser tan simple? No le funciona bien la mente, estamos trabajando para mejorarlo".
Y una camina por ahí, sin tener idea a cuál de los mundos pertenece. Porque estoy tan segura de tener las cosas claras... Y sin embargo al comentar mis ideas, sueños y objetivos, me encuentro con las miradas que gritan "Delirante!" y las bocas que contestan "Mirá qué bien!".
Entonces da a pensar, más en ésta noche en la que el sueño no llega. Será demasiado lo que busco? "Tonta, inmoral, delirante total, con cosas tan simple pensás que vas a ser feliz?" Si, estoy convencida! "Al menos podrías intentar encajar, resignar tus sueños, cumplir los ideales que la sociedad ideó para vos" NOOOOO! No No NO NO NO NO!!!!.
Todos pensamos que somos originales, no? Y a pesar de eso, no crucé a una persona que pensara como yo y se pusiera a caminar a mi lado. Es todo TAN complicado...
Es el juego de la vida! Hacés amigos, te enamorás, perdés amigos, te desenamorás. Te casás, te divorciás, viajás, estudiás. Nacer, crecer, reproducirse, morir.
Quiero disfrutar la partida. No quiero jugar sola. Quiero sentir que hice la diferencia. No quiero ser "alguien más". Quiero que las cosas empiecen bien. No quiero que terminen. Quiero bailar, y cantar y saltar. No quiero escuchar a la gente criticar.
AHHHHH, quiero quiero quiero quiero!!! Parece que a alguien le hacen falta abrazos...

"You say I'm a foolish old woman, but often it takes la folle to speak the truth, out in the air where everyone can hear. The blindness of Monet, I could help --I could see the flowers for him-- but there is no help for the blindness which comes from the heart."
I was frozen--immobile with fear--so shaken, I could barely stand. When he reached for my hand, I wasn't sure I could move at all. But when I stumbled to my feet and Tor helped me onto the dock, I was amazed suddenly by a rush of warmth--a powerful, glowing energy far beyond excitement or hysteria. It took me a moment to understand what it was. It was euphoria.
"I loved that", I said aloud, surprising myself.
"Yes, I rather thought you would," he said. "Can you tell me why?"
"I think it was the fear," I blurted out, wondering why that should be.
"Precisely--the fear of death is the affirmation of life," he explained. "Men know that. But women--almost never."
"Perhaps I'm too jaded," he told me. "I've always been bored with the people around me. Life holds no challenges for a mind like mine any longer. I've missed you, my dear. I'm happy you're back at last."
"I'm not back," I said, feeling the pounding in my chest. "Besides I thought I was the one with jaded emotions--or so you've always said."
"Your emotions aren't jaded--they're repressed," he told me coldly. "How can something be worn-out, when it's never been used?"
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Ay, ay, ay, como fallo con el balance, el maldito equilibrio se niega a mantenerse.
Quizás debería estar triste, no conseguir lo que uno quiere es triste, y llegar a un final totalmente inesperado cuando hubieras estado feliz con el convencional es deprimente. Pero por otro lado en mi mente no deja de sonar la frase "cuando se cierra una puerta, se abre una ventana".
Así que estoy feliz, después de... puf, mucho tiempo, siento que estoy en el camino correcto. Y sin guía T!
Me doy cuenta del tiempo perdido, pero al menos compilé experiencias.
Parafraseando a mi amado y desenpolvado Savage Garden, ahora ella espera al tipo indicado de piloto... Venís? Hasta la Luna no paramos!
The moonlight
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
Carry on keep romancing
Carry on carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
Carry on keep romancing
Carry on carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Move closer passion stronger

Malabares, malabares, quién no los hace para lograr la armonía? Familia, amor, trabajo, estudios, ocio, amigos, salud... Qué felicidad tener a todos en el aire, rodeandote, sabiendo que no van a caer, que están completamente bajo tu control. Aunque tampoco es fácil éste momento: que resbala uno, que si lo hago volar más alto? Pero si el otro se queda detrás? Y si me distraigo y se cae? Y si la caida de uno produce otras caidas? Si se rompe mi equilibrio? Si me tropiezo? Y si mejor me quedo acá parada y quieta, por las dudas?
Después de un colapso, empiezo a hacer malabares nuevamente. Primero con uno, se agregó otro, luego otro, que se cayó y no levanté. Otros dos están siempre ahí. Otro más no importaba, pero es hora de que importe... y el último que nunca cayó. Uno no estaba contemplado, y sin embargo allí está, firme. Otro que al caer tiró a varios, que tuve que levantar.
Y allá voy, buscando el equilibrio, ya casi, casi, casi que lo logro. Con muchas esperanzas, luchando, esforzandome, espero pronto convertirme en una gran malabarista.

Lo sé, está medio abandonado, así que me pongo al día en un solo post, peeeeeero, de una manera particular. En éste momento, en el soundtrack de mi vida, suenan...
Every day brings change
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this whole world seems like a new place
The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game [Massive Attack ft Tracy Thorn]
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift can be love
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
No one knows
No One Knows [Queens of the Stone Age]
Come take my hand
Understand
That you can
You're my man
And i need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Lovin' me
Is as easy as pie
Love Machine [Artic Monkeys]
I thought I was a fool for no-one
Oh baby I'm a fool for you
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight

Forget the peace inside
Giving way to the gods of destruction
Full of desire
You feel the feeling there's nothing there,
Oh oh, oh no
Oh oh, oh no
The ocean is dry,
do you feel hollow
Nowhere to hide,
nothing to swallow
When you can't recognize,
anything solid
Where do you turn,
when you can't buy it
What can you believe in now,
with no love to follow
Now that you have lost yourself,
oh can anything help you now
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you're not lost
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you're not alone
What did you learn, what was it worth
What did you yearn for, everything's lost now
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
Just let you fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you 're not lost
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find out that you're not alone
Giving way to the gods of destruction
Full of desire
You feel the feeling there's nothing there,
Oh oh, oh no
Oh oh, oh no
The ocean is dry,
do you feel hollow
Nowhere to hide,
nothing to swallow
When you can't recognize,
anything solid
Where do you turn,
when you can't buy it
What can you believe in now,
with no love to follow
Now that you have lost yourself,
oh can anything help you now
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you're not lost
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you're not alone
What did you learn, what was it worth
What did you yearn for, everything's lost now
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
And not alone, and not alone
Just let you fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find that you 're not lost
Just let your fears go,
you might find your way back home
Let your fears go,
you might find out that you're not alone

** Tardo mil años en dormirme, porque mi cerebro tarda en apagarse.
** Salvo contadisimas excepciones, no siento celos en mis relaciones. Al verlo con otra, me agarra un sentimiento de "Mmm... No no, no me gusta compartir. Be happy, good luck and good bye!" y BOOM! Todo el interés se evapora.
** Suelo arrepentirme una vez que no hay vuelta atrás... o cuando pienso que no lo hay.
** Nunca hago el primer movimiento, me da terror el rechazo. Me guardo mucho de lo que pasa por mi cabeza, palabras y gritos que mueren por salir, pero mi miedo me obliga a callarlas.
** Soy feliz con pequeñas cosas, que demuestren que realmente me conocés, que te tomaste el tiempo de mirar mi mente.
** Realmente creo que los ojos son la ventana al alma.
