“What most people call loving consists of picking out a woman and marrying her. They pick her out, I swear, I’ve seen them. As if you could pick in love, as if it were not a lightning bolt that splits your bones and leaves you staked out in the middle of the courtyard. They probably say that they pick her out because-they-love-her, I think it’s just the siteoppo. Beatrice wasn’t picked out, Juliet wasn’t picked out. You don’t pick out the rain that soaks you to a skin when you come out of a concert.”

- Julio Cortázar

We are learning how to be a horse from a real horse because our mean queen said she wants to ride us like a horse. She asked us to practice to be a horse, therefore we are practicing. However, today is the April Fools Day, so I wonder it was a joke.

I’m teaching the cat how to dance. I have taught it by words in the beginning, but it didn’t go well. I changed my teaching method. I’m going to dance with him until he memorize it.

Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny.”

“Our job is to love people. When it hurts. When it’s awkward. When it’s uncool and embarrassing. Our job is to stand together, to carry the burdens of one another and to meet each other in our questions.”
