Dear summer: Please stay


Madrid seems to be attached to summer and just wont let go... It feels like the city is living out of memories of the glorious past and simply refuses to welcome autumn, the present time. 
Just like our mind wanders in the past, and the flashbacks keep coming to haunt us in the present to turn it surreal.  It seems to me lately that yesterday was better, that I was happier, and my mind starts wandering what I would have done differently then? I always come to the same conclusion; I would have treasured those moments more, and I’m pretty sure I would’ve stayed in them forever.  But then today, that's what I do, am determined to be devoted to the present and to all of those that decided to become a part of it.

Madrid parece estar aferrada al verano y no parece dejarlo ir... Se siente como si la ciudad estuviera viviendo de las memorias de un pasado glorioso y simplemente se rehusa a darle la bienvenida al otoño, el tiempo presente.
Así como nuestra mente divaga en el pasado, y los recuerdos nos acechan en el presente para hacerlo surrealista.  Ultimamente me parece que el ayer fue mejor, que era mas feliz así; y mi mente empieza a imaginar que hubiera hecho distinto entonces?  Siempre llego a la misma conclusión; hubiera atesorado esos momentos más, y muy seguramente me hubiera quedado en ellos para siempre.  Pero entonces, hoy, es eso lo que hago; he decidido ser devota del presente y de quienes han decidido hacer parte de él.

  1. Hi Lina! I found your Matilda eating ice cream pic on another site and then found the source here. I used it on my blog and gave you credit. http://littledogtips.com/chihuahua-mama/ My chihuahua is also named Matilda!
