A Letter To Ouranus

Dear Ouranus, my heart is heavy, As I pour out my soul, feeling unsteady. For a paycheck, I sold my essence, Now in neverland, I'm left defenseless. From wonderland, I've been cast aside, My dreams, mere nightmares in which I hide. Though they say I'm spoiled, they don't see The lack of childhood that's within me. I'm a tall child, wounded and scarred, Abused, neglected, and left emotionally marred. Beaten, burned, and even raped, Ouranus, please, free me from this painful fate. I need someone wise, someone kind, To hear my complaints and ease my mind. A mother, a father, or an older friend, But for now, you're all I have, to you I bend. Take me home, to a place of belonging, Where I can rest and find some healing. I've never had a family of my own, An orphaned leaf, in a garden unknown. You're always here, your warmth I feel, As I lay bare my soul, my wounds to heal. And I find solace in the tales you share, Of heroes who conquer and villains who dare. Through hardship and struggle, they fight on, Their courage and strength, a source of inspiration. With your love and guidance, I'll find my way, A new chapter in life, a brand new day. Dear Ouranus, please hear my plea, And guide me to where I'm meant to be. With you by my side, I'll never stray, Together we'll find the light, a new dawn each day.

If I’ve learned one lesson from all that’s happened to me, it’s that there’s no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There’s no such thing as ruining your life. Life’s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

what is love

I can say with great certainty and absolute honesty that I did not know what love was until I knew what love was not.

A Perspective of Gilgamesh slaying Humbaba

Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, was known throughout the land for his great strength, courage, and leadership. Despite his many accomplishments, however, he yearned for a challenge that would test his abilities to their limit. That challenge came in the form of Humbaba, a fearsome giant who terrorized the nearby Cedar Forest. Gilgamesh, determined to prove himself as a hero, set out on a perilous journey to confront the monster. Along the way, he met Enkidu, a wild man who shared his passion for adventure and battle. Together, they formed a bond that would prove crucial to their eventual victory. When they finally reached the Cedar Forest, Humbaba greeted them with a deafening roar. Undaunted, Gilgamesh and Enkidu charged forward, wielding their weapons with ferocity. Humbaba fought back with all his might, but he was no match for the combined strength and skill of the two heroes. Despite the odds against them, Gilgamesh and Enkidu persevered, hacking and slashing their way through the monster's defenses until they finally stood victorious. With a mighty blow, Gilgamesh struck the killing blow, felling Humbaba and securing his place as a true hero of the people. The triumphic victory was celebrated throughout the land, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu were hailed as the greatest heroes of their time. For Gilgamesh, the victory was more than just a test of his strength; it was a validation of his worth as a leader and protector of his people. And for Enkidu, it was a chance to prove that he was more than just a wild man, but a true warrior and friend. In the end, their victory over Humbaba cemented their place in history as two of the greatest heroes to ever walk the earth.

El llano en llamas

A memorable collection of tales written by Juan Rulfo. If you want to just dive in the magic realism, you can start reading this mythical writer. My favorite tale: Luvina.

A Perspective of Humbaba from the Epic of Gilgamesh

I am Humbaba, the fearsome protector of the cedar forest. My job is to guard the trees from those who would seek to cut them down and destroy this sacred land. For centuries, I have fulfilled my duty, defending the forest with all my might. One day, a man named Gilgamesh appeared before me. He was accompanied by his loyal companion Enkidu, and they came with the intention of cutting down the cedar trees and plundering the forest. I could not allow this to happen. It was my duty to protect the forest, and I would not let these invaders destroy it. I stood my ground and confronted them, warning them of the consequences of their actions. But Gilgamesh was determined to carry out his plan, and he attacked me with his sword. I fought back with all my strength, but eventually, I was overpowered and defeated. As I lay dying, I realized that my efforts to protect the forest had been in vain. Despite my best efforts, the trees would still be cut down, and the forest would be destroyed. I had failed in my duty as the forest's protector. But even in my final moments, I found solace in the fact that I had stood up for what I believed in. I had fought bravely to protect the forest, and I had given my life in defense of this sacred land. And while my death was tragic, I knew that my legacy would live on, and that future generations would remember me as a hero who had given everything to protect the natural world. And so, as I closed my eyes for the last time, I knew that I had fulfilled my destiny as the guardian of the cedar forest. Though my life had ended in tragedy, I had died a hero, and that was all that mattered.
