10 things i’ll tell my children when they’re old enough to understand.


1. You will come across music that not many people are into. Like what you like. Take the time to understand what you hear. Music makes the world go round. Listen to everything in the song. The beat, the sound, the voice, the lyrics, the meaning. Take it all in. Lyrics will make you cry sometimes. But that just means that you can relate. And being able to know that there is someone out there that knows exactly how you’re feeling, is one of the most amazing feelings in the world.

2. Stay true to yourself. Once you know who you are, don’t change. Don’t let the bitterness of your peers bring you down. Enjoy the beauty of the world, look past all the flaws. Remember to breathe.

3. Don’t be afraid to fall in love. Forget the judgements, love is love. Take the risk of the fall. Let yourself be happy. Live for the moment. Forget about the future. Forget about the past. Cherish what you have.

4. At one point, your heart will feel broken. Your mind will be consumed with pessimistic thoughts, and there will be no other time in your life that you will be thinking as much as you will when something bad happens in your life. Try not to let it get the best of you. Live for what you have. Remember what you have. As much as you’re going to want to think that you have nothing, make sure you turn around.

5. Be kind. Be blunt. Be rude. Be sarcastic. Be lovely. Be original. Be whoever you want to be, but be friends with everyone. Enemies will come and go, but don’t hold grudges. You will like and dislike, but still find the decency to be civilized.

6. You’ll grow, and you’ll want to try new things. Don’t be afraid to, but always listen to your gut instinct. It does not matter what you do or how you do it, but it does matter if you have a good heart. Love everything at one point or another. If you can’t explain how you feel, write it down. Keep it for a time you’ll need it.

7. You will dwell on things that have happened in the past, but remember that sometimes it’s okay to let go. You will at some point have to let go of someone, and even when it feels like they’re gone, you will still have their memory. That is what matters.

8. Make love. Nothing more, nothing less.

9. Don’t follow a trend. Start one.

10. Lay in bed and listen to the rain. Go for a walk when it’s the perfect day. Spend time with people that are worth spending time with. Laugh at moments that aren’t worth laughing at. Smile when it’s the right moment. Kiss someone you know you’re in love with. Dream. Rebel.

"A drawing a day keeps the doctor away" - Tina Berning

He tenido muy abandonado mi blog estos días por falta de tiempo y de inspiración jaja pero estaba viendo unas imágenes en mi compu & decidí retomarlo. En fin, vayámonos rápido que tengo que leer de anato *-*

Les presento a una de mis ilustradoras favoritas, la berlinesa Tina Berning, quien vive felizmente de la ilustración de modas, gusta de las acuarelas sobre papeles de antiguas libretas o formatos, dando un toque novedoso a este tipo de imágenes. Sus dibujos más seriecitos en cuanto a ropa y accesorios están publicados por todas las revistas grandes como Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Playboy, The New York Times, Das Zeit Magazin, catálogos de marcas y un largo etcétera. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión les quiero mostrar una selección un poco más abstracta & en mi opinión: absolutamente hermosa!

They're just people.

Last night he got a visit from
the ghost of corporate future
the ghost said, take off both your shoes
whatever chances you get
especially when they're wet
he also said,

imagine you go away
on a business trip one day
and when you come back home
your children have grown and you never made your wife moan,
your children have grown and you never made your wife moan,

people make you nervous
you think of the world was ending
and everybody's features have somehow started blending
and everything is plastic
and everyone's sarcastic
and all your food is frozen, and needs to be defrosted
you'd think that the world was ending right now

well, maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee
and never ever watch the ten o'clock news
maybe you should kiss someone nice
or lick a rock, or both

maybe you should cut your own hair
cause that can be so funny
it doesn't cost any money
and it always grows back, hair grows even after you're dead, and

people are just people
they shouldn't make you nervous
the world is everlasting, it's coming and it's going
if you don't toss your plastic
the street won't be so plastered
and if you kiss somebody then both of you'll get practice
the world is everlasting
put dirtballs in your pocket
put dirtballs in your pocket and take off both your shoes
cause people are just people
people are just people like you.
