“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”
I used to think that the most exciting thing about being a mother was the privilege of watching my children experience the world, their first times. I was wrong. It's when they teach you something new! ❤️
“Adolescents are building an identity, which involves discovering things that you are good at, said Fuligni. When students are told that they have fallen behind in a particular skill, it can damage their sense of belonging; the feelings are heightened because adolescents are particularly prone to internalizing the messages they hear.”

My tactic is
to watch you
to learn how you are
to love you as you are
my tactic is
to talk to you
and listen to you
to build with words
an indestructible bridge
my tactic is
to stay in your memory
I don't know how nor
with what pretext
but to stay in you
my tactic is
to be frank
and to know that you are frank
and that we don't sell each other
simulations
so that between the two of us
there is no curtain
or abyss
my strategy is
instead
deeper and more
simple
my strategy is
that one day
I don't know how nor
with what pretext
you finally need me

Mi táctica es
mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos
mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible
mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos
mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos
no haya telón
ni abismos
mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple
mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites
— Mario Benedetti, Táctica y Estrategia
