Comprando libros un día me encontré con este titulo “Todo lo que sé lo aprendí de la TV” no lo he abierto, ni se de que se trata, pero me puso a pensar…
Que de la TV aprendí que los extraterrestres casi siempre tienen un plan para conquistar la tierra y no solo para ayudarnos…
Que en el colegio hay jocks, science, math y computer geeks, nerds, gente popular, etc..
Que los malos siempre pierden (por lo menos un 98% del tiempo) y que siempre hay un héroe que salva el día…
Sobre todo en la TV aprendí sobre el príncipe azul. Ese que cuando menos uno lo espera aparece, que dice las cosas mas lindas, que arruina todo para salvarlo con un súper gesto al final, que lleva flores. El que investiga sobre algo que a uno le gusta para hacer una sorpresa, que tiene una sonrisa perfecta que hace que aunque no sea el mas guapo de todas formas es el mas lindo. Es el que tiene que escoger entre dos mujeres y lo escoge a uno. El que da los mejores besos, sabe cocinar delicioso, es caballeroso y se ve excelente sin camisa. Es culto, inteligente y tiene principios, pero aunque sea serio nos hace reír hasta que duele el estomago. El que se enamora a primera vista y no importa la situación hace lo necesario para enamorarnos. El que nos pierde y no duerme hasta recuperarnos.
El príncipe azul de Hollywood no existe.
Solo en la tele, chic flicks, películas de Disney el amor imposible se da. El resto del tiempo la gente tiene demasiado miedo para hacer gestos de este tipo, para cambiar a alguien con quien están mal por la posibilidad de que la otra relación no funcione, de estar solos, de exponerse y no ser correspondidos. Solo en las películas las disculpas suenan perfectas, sinceras y creíbles. En esas historias de amor es donde después de muchos años una pareja se reencuentra y se dan cuenta de que nunca se superaron. Donde la larga distancia termina en un final feliz.
Nadie es perfecto y la TV exagera. Pero porque no vivir un poco mas como una película de Hollywood? Donde se toman riesgos inimaginables. Donde el príncipe azul escoge a la persona que no “debe” porque la otra lo hace más feliz (o por lo menos existe la posibilidad de que sea así). Donde arruinarlo todo no significa perdida total y donde el “y vivieron felices para siempre” puede pasar después de unos días de amor a primera vista.
"it's never too late or, in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. "
-Movie: Benjamin Buttons

"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."

"We don 't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion."
