Life Being What it Is

Life being what it is

This is the story of what life is to a girl who likes to think of herself as a complex yet not very complicated being, but not so naive to think that she’s born in this gigantic city of Mexico to achieve a specific or celestial goal. She tries to live, as much as possible, a simple happy life until, well, life happens; as Mignon McLaughlin once said “The total history of almost anyone would shock almost everyone.” Life is a total that can be described by special moments and it’s the little details of these that she likes the most. To her, life can only be measured by stupid underrated curiosities like the fresh smell of wood of a recently sharpened pencil, the weird optical effect created by a pattern of lines on a ceiling or standing her ground on her childish idea that unicorns do exist. She believes in vibes and Karma, specially the good ones and yet, she doesn’t wonder why Gandhi didn’t eat for who knows how many days in whatever place, instead, she wonders if he had a favorite dish and If he did, did he have it more than once? It’s thoughts like these that make her smile, it makes her feel a little unique and therefore special among others.


When it comes to school, math is not one of her favorites as numbers are for squared, boring people and specially avoids anything that has to do with philosophical topics, it makes it hard to believe she’s interested in the Arts, but funny as life is, she loves them. In fact, she’s so into them that she likes all of its faces, them being written, painted, printed, cut, filmed, pasted or whatever, she loves them all and this love serves as a column and inspiration throughout her mayor, which is just another ingredient to her recipe of happiness .


All of this comes to make a girl who’s satisfied with what she’s got and hopes for the best; maybe she daydreams a lot and probably she’s not going to change the world with her actions, maybe she won’t make it after 2012 or maybe she will live forever, whatever happens life will be what it is and she will be what she is: A little human trying to live her little happy life.
