Some things I write late at night.

by
Valeria Rodriguez

Step into the world of late-night introspection by my side. As the world slumbers, my journal serves as a conduit for essential thoughts, revealing that writing, for me, is a compelling necessity rather than a mere pursuit.

(Translation) The freedom of our mind is the absence of restrictions—restrictions that we impose on ourselves. Let's seek the path of freedom, of self-discovery. The journey to self-liberation is granting yourself permission. Break those barriers that once protected you to highlight the strokes that make you unique.

La mente se dispersa,

las personas pasan

y los árboles se quedan quietos

Estáticos

como yo

sin poder moverme.

Hay tanto silencio en la piel.

En nuestro paradero eterno.

Pero, si prestamos un poco más de atención - seremos capaces de

escuchar lo que las paredes tienen que decir.

(Translation) There is so much silence on the skin. In our eternal stop. But, if we pay a little more attention, we will be able to hear what the walls have to say.
