be(r)nice.

voy a cambiar vidas.

i write a lot. i have this little notebook that i carry with me everywhere.

porque este mundo es increíble.

i love tumblrs. because people these days are so quick to judge and if you happen upon this site, you get a whole different perspective of someone you thought you knew.

because sometimes we don't speak aloud all we want to say. and written words preserve the moment's intensity.


“It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.”

It’s crazy how money and diamonds

have no intrinsic value. In Econ we learn that money functions because we believe it to work and we all accept it as payment and a means of exchange. But if you actually think about that and how much money controls our lives, this inherently worthless piece of paper that’s not even backed by gold, idk, it’s just crazy. And so many people swoon over diamonds and the man who wants to propose has to buy one twice his paycheck or something when the process of getting diamonds themselves exploits workers, a million of them earn less than a dollar a day and they’re completely ripped off for finding the diamonds because they don’t know what it’s worth and idk it’s crazy.
