Lately, I've been running short of inspiration. Why? Well, I've been wondering "why" for a time now but truth is I've known the answer since the very first moment that the question pumped up in my insides. I've fallen in love. Yes, I said it. I guess it's official now. I know I once wrote in this same blog that the key for being a proper writer was about knowing how to create drama even when your life wasn't one. Well, maybe the thing is I'm not really a spirit-born writer or maybe I am, whatever. I had fallen in love before, right, and that didn't take my inspiration away but there's a reason for that: as simple as guessing what happens when two fire sparkles come together. Fire and more fire. That's why my previous love fulfilled me of inspiration and drama for, by the hand of all that tenderness, all his harshness came along. In contrast, the reason why drama has abandoned me lately is because I've fallen in love with smooth water; with a calm, sweet stream of water that has healed my wounds and scarred illusions. That's the thing, you see, when you mix a drop of water together with a spark of fire, you get this warm and cristal smoke that goes up to the sky, silent and elegantly. Still, don't freak out, Alessia Garnet is far from being gone. Right now I'm working on a micro-narration project I came along with. It tells the story of three peculiar characters casually connected by their own naive and frustrated dreams, a drama placed in the very heart of my endearing bohemian Paris.
In the meanwhile, I'm also being busy with my photography and drawing learning process, which I'm lately also very interested in. I'm gonna post about it soon.
And, last but not least, I wanted to give special mention to someone I met around now, last year. To someone who I connected with in a very special way and has even taken place amid some of my verses in this same blog. Pommelien is an incredible girl I met in Brugge during my Erasmus in the Netherlands, who besides having a beautiful soul is such an amazing photographer I certainly look up to. I consider it a must for my blog content to hold some track of her work (which, proud and happily, includes some of my own works too). Thanks Pomme for being such a talented artist (and friend).
Here goes her blog:
El meu bategar, una ànima blanca. La llum, l'aurora, filla del sol. Alessia Garnet
About me
- Alessia Garnet
- Todos empezamos a escribir por la misma razón: para liberar los pensamientos más profundos que tememos pronunciar en alto; para ahogar nuestras ansias de llorar y de gritar; para libar el sabor de vaciarnos un poco por dentro y llenar, de arriba abajo, una hoja en blanco que sin nuestros pedacitos de alma en vela, seguro seria del todo insustancial. Ésta es la versión más pura de mi alma. Más bien dicho: esta es mi alma en carne viva. Descubre mis palabras, saborea mis ideas insumisas, absorve un poco de mi eséncia. Dicho esto, soy Alessia Garnet: un futuro, joven y prometedor proyecto de escritora. Una pequeña alma blanca, viva, caótica y valiente.

Amid the distance.
Momoirs Verse
She missed amid the distance,
She missed amid the distance,
partly loved despite the glitter.
Boiling hopes of lost directions,
burning bridges of common senses.
Moored her heart in 10 new worlds,
kissed a girl and moaned as well.
Lots of languages fought her speech
though there's just one she sweared in with.
She did waste no single tear,
not one as months slipped in.
Indeed she grew as strong as wind,
there's no child behind her view.
Ain't nothing to regret
but the things she never did,
still a future lies in front,
every path she will confront.
Crossing frontiers through the world,
eyes wide open,
soul free broken,
going big each brand new day,
with her gaze stuck up in hell,
(as dad would mostly say).
Surely it wasn't a good girl,
not as if you did ever care,
as for desire I'm a slave,
there's nothing I would change.
Alessia Garnet
- Venezia, 2013-2016 -
y en castellano...
Versando mis memorias
He extrañado a distancia
y amado a medias.
He hervido esperanzas
y quemado estereotipos.
He besado a una chica
y amarrado en 10 naciones.
He gemido en 5 idiomas,
maldecido sólo en uno.
No he llorado en 5 meses,
pues he crecido cual cerezo.
Me arrepiento de nada en absoluto,
más lo que pude dejar sin haber hecho.
Viajando por el mundo
he abierto bien los ojos,
acariciando nuevos días,
con las palmas hacia arriba.

Rebel in your own lonesomeness.
It might be that, after all, all we want is to be alone so we can feel the emptiness, so we can breath the freedom, so we can accept our loneliness and so we can rebel in it, in the silence of our soul, in the calm of the sea of our thoughts, in the peace of our own controversial emotions. We need these people that tie us strong to let loose, to let us go, to force us to leave before it becomes too late, so we can get lost, found, save and sound at the same time. And despite everything we might believe there is only one way we can achieve such a thing: alone. Alone for that is how we are born and that is how we will leave this world after all. Yet is nothing but beautiful, when you find peace in this kind of lonesomeness which only you decide who to share with. I've read many times in books that for every and each one of us there is just and only one true love. Well, dear life, call me naive, call me ignorant but I must strongly disapprove such an assumption for I want to love as much as I can, unconditionally and passionately, and against the wind if necessary but I refuse to ever get stuck in something that is supposed to be forever for there are many things that last forever and, at the same time, don't.

Tot ziens 2015;)
Just for curiosity, do you ever wonder how lost you are? In your life, in your thoughts, in the world?
Well, in any case, never mind but, if you ever feel lost, go, escape, go somewhere you have never been before, where you can feel even more lost if possible and there, and then, close your eyes, listen to the nothingness, or to the everythingness, and shout. Cry if you need so, or laugh. Smile, why not? Let go of everything and decide what to retain. The love? The hate? Your friends? Your dreams? Your wounds? Your broken heart? Your ambitions? Your memories? Hold on to those that you decide to keep and go back, or not back, just go and find your way. Because then, it will probably be the right one and, never mind whatsoever, just don't look back, don't stumble over the same rock twice. You're beautiful. Probably and most surely you are. Besides, I know it's weird to write about this on this day of the year, the fucking 31st of December, exactly the last day of 2015 but I'm sick of all this bullshit that everyone is writing and posting nonstop. If you want to celebrate this day (which, in my opinion, lacks of any "specialness" possible), go and toast today for all the insanities you have committed this year, for all the great moments and for every time that you've rose up after a terrible fall. However, remember, don't do that because it is the 31st of December, do it because you've been such an incredible fighter during these last 365 days. Yeah, you did it. And you will do it awesomely again this next year so, get yourself drunk tonight and fuck all the pain and drawbacks that might have embittered this last year of your life. Night is yours, Life is yours. World can be yours if you decide to be there for it.
Happy New Year 2016, Tot Ziens 2015.

Extraño // Missing
Es curioso, infinitamente curioso el
modo en el que el mundo se ha contraído y expandido simultáneamente en mi
cabeza, en mi corazón. Llevo casi cuatro meses viviendo fuera de mi ciudad
natal, una increíble Barcelona resplandeciente y parece que fuera ayer
cuando me subía en ese coche destinado a viajar 14 horas por autopistas
europeas, cruzando casi cuatro países enteros, destino a Deventer, Holanda, los países bajos por excelencia. Qué genial y qué aterrador a la vez. Parece que aun ni me
lo crea. Y ahora que me encuentro aquí, de nuevo en casa, en mi querida
Barcelona, rodeada de la gente con la que he vivido desde tiempos inmemorables (o no tan inmemorables), es como si me faltara el oxigeno. Como si el aire me faltase en los pulmones y
esa anoxia se contagiara por todas las arterias y venas de mi cuerpo, sin dejar
una pizca de esencia intacta. Creo que extraño el sentirme extraña. Extraño el
ser distinta. El preguntar ¿Cuál es tu historia?. El amanecer en una ciudad
cuyas pupilas nunca he vislumbrado antes. El coger un tren sin estar segura de
su destino debido a la falta de incomprensión del idioma. El esforzarme en entender
una lengua que suena a sonidos inteligibles, de gente borracha, a mis oídos.
Extraño que me vean y digan: "¡Spanish!". Extraño probar cervezas de países en los
que nunca he vivido. Extraño conocer hostels y hablar con sus peculiares
recepcionistas, cada uno de una nacionalidad diferente. Extraño empezar una
noche del todo normal y acabar en la situación más surrealista posible.
Despertarme en Alemania y acostarme en Suiza. Respirar aires que huelen a
Hipster. Oler recuerdos que huelen a lejano. Discutir sobre culturas y
religiones. Impregnarme de palabras en lenguas de las que ni siquiera había oído
hablar. Besar labios que saben a miles de quilómetros de distáncia, cuyos pasaportes llevan letras, colores y banderas distintas a las mías. Probar recetas y comidas tradicionales de países o ciudades que cruzan
mares y océanos y donde mi vista nunca alcanzaría desde Barcelona. Cometer
locuras en países ajenos donde nadie me va a juzgar. Robar recuerdos, besos y sonrisas a extrangeros viajeros. Extraño ser esa chica que
nadie conocía y apareció de la nada, robando suspiros y latidos de diferentes colores,
etnias y religiones. Echo de menos tener que explicar a todo el mundo que por
delante de española me siento catalana. Extraño tener que discutir con la gente sobre por qué mi país quiere ser independiente. Describir a la gente mis sueños de
viajar sin destino, sin rumbo ni fin. Informar sobre mis estudios y definir que
lo que caracteriza la gente de mi carrera es esa extraña y fuerte pasión
para salvar lo que pueda quedar de nuestra Madre Tierra. Extraño a mis compañeras de piso, encontrármelas
en la cocina a altas horas de la noche porque no pueden dormir y terminar compartiendo nuestras pesadillas y secretos. Extraño secarle las lágrimas a una
extraña que me ha robado el corazón en menos de 4 meses. Extraño organizar
fiestas en mi apartamento con gente de más de 10 nacionalidades diferentes.
Extraño haberme desenamorado y vuelto a enamorar a la vez gracias a una persona con la
que probablemente no volveré a cruzarme jamás. Extraño ser libre, libre de
hacer, decir, gritar lo que sea. Coger mi bici y pedalear. Planear viajes imposibles, ver tres ciudades en un mismo día, buscar el B&B más barato y alquilar un coche para cruzar 4 fronteras. Extraño extrañar mi
hogar. Irme, decir adiós, llegar, conocer, crear, indagar, experimentar, vivir.
No sé si pedir gracias o perdón. Si arrepentirme o ponerme a gritar de alegría.
¡Qué grande! Oh, por dios, ¡Qué grande y bonito! ¡Qué espectáculo, joder! Éste mundo, estas personas,
estas ciudades, ... ¡No tienen desperdicio alguno! Si, es probable que me haya vuelto
adicta a todas estas cosas que he mencionado anteriormente. Si, ¿qué pasa? Al
fin y al cabo, todos somos adictos a algo, quién más quien menos. Gracias, a quien sea.
Por brindarme tal oportunidad, por abrirme los ojos, por plantarme este camino
bajo mis pies. Gracias.

Don't stop. Don't ever fucking do that. Just don't.
Alessia Garnet
______________________________English version________________________________
It appears to be curious, infinitely curious the way in which the world has simultaneously contracted and expanded itself to my eyes, to my heart. I’ve been almost four months living out of home, out of my natal city, an incredible shiny Barcelona and, in spite, it seems as if it was just yesterday that I was hopping on that car destined to travel 14 hours through European highways crossing almost four entire countries, destiny: Deventer, Holland, the Netherlands or the low lands per excellence. How amazing and how frightening at the same time. It still seems unbelievable to me. And now that I’m back here, back home, in my dear Barcelona, surrounded by the people I’ve known and lived with since immemorial times (or not so immemorial), it feels as if I lacked oxygen. As if the air couldn’t make it to my lungs and, meanwhile, this anoxia spreads all through my arteries and veins, not leaving a piece of essence untouched. I think I miss feeling like a stranger. I miss feeling different. Asking “What’s your story?”. Rising in a city whose pupils I’ve never glimpsed before. Taking a train without being sure of its destination due to the lack of understanding of the language. Making an effort to comprehend a language that sounds intelligible, as if spoken by drunk people, to my ears. I miss the funny immediate reaction of people when they meet me for first time saying “Spanish!”. I miss trying beers made in countries where I’ve never lived. I miss meeting new hostels and talking to its peculiar receptionists, all originals from other lands. I miss starting a normal night and ending up in the most surrealist situation possible. Waking up in Germany and going to bed in Switzerland. Breathing airs that smell like Hipster. Inhaling memories that smell to remoteness. Discussing about cultures, beliefs and religions. Impregnating myself of foreign words spoken in languages of which I had never heard before. Kissing lips that taste to thousands of kilometres of distance, whose passports wear letters, colours and flags utterly different to mine. Tasting traditional meals and recipes from countries or towns that are found somewhere across continents, seas and oceans, places where my sight could never reach up from Barcelona. Committing follies in foreign countries where nobody will judge me. Stealing memories, kisses and smiles from outlandish, adventurous, freesoul travellers. I miss being that girl who nobody knew but came out of the blue, stealing sighs and heartbeats of different colours, ethnicities and religions. I miss having to explain the whole world that before Spanish I deeply feel myself Catalan. I miss having to discuss hundreds of times with people why my country wants to be independent. Describing folks my dreams and my aims of travelling without destination, direction or end. Informing about my studies and defining that what characterises the people of my university course is that weird but strong passion for saving what might still be left of our old Mother Earth. I miss my flatmates, coming across them at late hours of the night because they can’t manage to fall asleep and ending up sharing our nightmares and our best kept secrets. I miss drying up the teardrops of a stranger that has gained my heart in less than four months. I miss organising parties in my flat with people of more than 10 different nationalities. I miss having fallen out of love and fallen in love again thanks to a person I might never come across again after all of this is finished. I miss being free, free of doing, saying, shouting whatever I feel like. Planning impossible trips, sightseeing 3 cities in one day, searching for the cheapest B&B and hiring a car to cross 4 frontiers. I miss missing my home. Leaving, saying good-bye, arriving, meeting, creating, inquiring, experimenting, living. Taking my bike and riding it wherever I want. I don’t know whether to be grateful or to ask for forgiveness. Whether to regret or to start jumping and shouting in glory. How amazing! Oh my God. How incredibly amazing and beautiful! What a spectacle, Jesus! This world, these people, these cities, … . They couldn’t be more worthy! Yes, probably, I may have become addicted to all of these things I previously mentioned. Yes, what’s wrong with that? After all, everyone is addicted to something, some more and others less. Thanks to whoever it might correspond. For gifting me with this opportunity, for opening my eyes, for placing this path under my shoes. Thank you.

Tot continua. Everything goes on.
Em pregunto si em llegeixes. Si els teus pensaments et porten al meu blog de tant en tant. Si enyores la meva dramàtica manera de ser i les meves idees bohèmies. Em pregunto si tens ganes de veure'm i alliberar tota l'angoixa, ràbia i pena que ens hem causat l'un a l'altre en una d'aquelles abraçades que semblen no tenir fronteres. I aleshores em venen un milió de preguntes que et faria. El pitjor de tot és que gaire bé totes començarien amb un terrible i pesarós perquè. Justament el perquè que vols oblidar. I en aquests moments obro la finestra o m'escapo corrents fora d'allà on sigui i deixo que el fred em consumeixi per uns instants, deixo que el vent em bufetegi amb tota la gelor del Nord. Tanco els ulls i m'obligo a mi mateixa a tancar les ferides. Torno a dins, com si res hagués passat i tot continua.
Alessia Garnet
I wonder if you read me. If your thoughts bring you back to my blog once in a while. If you miss my dramatic way of being or my bohemian soul. I wonder if you are looking forward to see me someday, if you are looking forward to let go all the anger, the pain and the pity that we caused to each other throughout one of those hugs that seem to hold no frontiers. And then, a million questions arouse in my mind. Worst of all, they would probably all start with a terrible and relentless why. Precisely the exact why you so bad want to forget. And at those moments I open the windows or escape in a rush from wherever I'm found and allow the coldness to consume myself for a while, I allow the wind to slap me on my face with all the iciness of the North. I close my eyes and force myself to close my wounds as well. Go back inside, as if nothing was wrong at all, and everything goes on.

Estendre els llençols
Vaig pensar que, potser, si estenia els llençols i canviava les cortines, si deixava que la llum d'un nou dia m'escalfés les galtes i les esperances, aleshores i només a partir d'aquell moment, podria veure nous cims a l'horitzó i deixaria de recordar-te a base de núvols grisos i mig esborrats. Sembla que, de mica en mica, vaig obrint-les; les ales, les finestres, les forces, les ganes. I així, poc a poc, estenc els lligams del nou pont que he decidit teixir i, d'alguna curiosa manera, m'acomiado de tu en la distància mentre el vent gèlid d'aquest país se t'endu, junt amb les fulles que arranca dels arbres, tenyint-ho tot dels colors de la tardor.

________ in english (and probably much poorer version):
I thought that, maybe, if I cleared those sheets and changed the courtines, if I allowed the sunshine of a brand new day to warm my cheeks and hopes then, and only from that moment on, I would be able to discern new peaks in the far horizon and would I stop remembering you between those blurry grey clouds. As it seems, slowly but firmly, I'm opening them; the wings, the windows, the aims, the strenghts. And this way, little by little, I spread the bonds of this new bridge I decided to build and, somehow, I withdraw myself from you through the distance while the icy air of this country pulls you away from me, altogether with the falling leaves that have been teared apart from the trees, staining everything with the Autumn colours.

Bullshit
Truth is we have a stupid tendency for lying to ourselves. We say we want to get over someone, that we want to get rid of this emotional bond that doesn't allow us to move on, we pretend to fight hard for it but, reality is that, we introduce these ideas in our minds while we retain those feelings strongly attached in our hearts. Making it impossible for us to go on over them and then, we walk with this fear of them arousing to the surface of our consciousness, never letting them go completely away for we are too ashamed of how week they make us feel that we'd rather hide them and pretend they are slowly fading before actually letting them go. We are afraid of opening ourselves again and we are utterly aware of it but, worst of all, we never accept it, instead, we choose to deal with it as if it was everything but a problem. In addition, then, we become this shitty persons, worthless loving, somehow perfectly broken inside. It is not fair, it surely isn't, not for the people that meets us in the halfway for we determine them to suffer through our encounter as we play to be free but remain enchained to those who caused our tears.
So, in other words and in verse...
And having said that, I surrender for all I wanted was to show the world how strong I was. I wanted to stand out and say something. I wanted everyone to see how brave I was but, most of all, I wanted you to see how much I had fought for it (and you, at some point, I guess.). How hard I'd tried to get over you, how big the effort I put on all of it had been. Every single time that my heart yelled for you, the hardest I battled to shut it down. Every moment that my blood burned of anger for revenge, I tried my best to cool it down. Every time that my fears of being hurt again aroused, the worse I had to fight to keep some space for hope inside my soul. And it was hard, it still is. Somehow, you are always there, stuck in the back of my mind, not letting me go but I'm determined to get rid of you and, eventually, I swear I will and then, all of it will be over: the pain, the fear, the damage and these stupid hopes I still hold for you. I'll cross countries, continents and skies if required but I'll get rid of you and never aim for you again.
Alessia Garnet
So, in other words and in verse...
This is it:
Pretending
to let go.
Bullshit.
Holding them
in our hearts,
sadly pretending,
fake fighting
against the pain
meanwhile,
lying to ourselves,
talking about hate
proclaiming its end,
or freedom,
while truth is
we are
stupidly
retaining
them.
For at no point
do we
intend
to
get rid
let go
say bye.
Disappear.
And having said that, I surrender for all I wanted was to show the world how strong I was. I wanted to stand out and say something. I wanted everyone to see how brave I was but, most of all, I wanted you to see how much I had fought for it (and you, at some point, I guess.).

Delightful poetry by Rumi
"In your light, I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you,
but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
Rumi
“You think you are alive
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you,
but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
Rumi
“You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you,
Shame on you,
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don't be without Love,
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love
and stay alive forever.
I want to see you.
Know your voice.
Recognise you when you
first come 'round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come
into a room you've just left.
Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way
you purse your lips
then let them part,
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.
I want to know the joy
of how you whisper
“more”...

Lovely (in) Maastricht
Sweet readers, today I have not much to say but to delight you with some pictures from my last trip around the Netherlands. This time, it goes for Maastricht: a perfectly endearing city. A flawless incessant paradise of exquisite architecture, captivating intersections, graceful alleys and glorious ancient religious constructions. A place that must be seen, a spot that must be lived. A totally MUST in the list of places to go. (And maybe to return and stay). Beautiful indeed. Such a lovely trip.
Alessia Garnet
Travel.
Travel when you feel lost.
Travel when you feel caged.
Travel when you get bored.
Travel when your heart is broken.
Travel when you miss yourself.
Travel when you need to escape.
Travel if it gets cold, or too hot.
Travel if life gets rough.
Doesn't matter what the problem may be.
Never mind if the reason doesn't seem enough.
Never mind whatsoever might go wrong.
Just travel.
Break the chains that lock you there.
Cut the strings that tie you there.
Break free and get crazy.
Travel wherever your hands and dreams can reach.
Travel beyond the expectations of society.
Just go, don't wait for someone to ask you to stay.
Alessia Garnet
Just a small remark:
All of the pictures are made by me and of my own property.
