Inimile frante au un sunet specific / Broken hearts have their own sound

For the english version, please, scroll down.






Este sunetul sinistru al strigatului in gol, al cuvintelor care pornesc disperate intr-o directie si se spulbera de un zid nevazut, care nu face decat ca creasca dimensiunea singuratatii. Inimile frante au un ecou specific nebuniei, fricii, abandonului si mortii iminente.
Am descoperit asta prin muzica. Sistemul meu era parca programat din inconstient sa simta o atractie arbitrara pentru o anumita insiruire de sunete. Abia la o a doua, a treia, sau a patra ascultare, cand savurasem deja linia melodica si avem rabdarea sa ascult atent versurile, imi dadeam seama ca acestea vorbesc despre singuratate, pierdere, disperarea in fata golului lasat de iubiri neimpartasite. Nu este vorba de iubirile care lasa in urma amintiri frumoase, dar care s-au terminat pentru ca asa le-a fost scris. Inimile acelea nu se pierd, ele doar se transforma, ingloband experienta prin care au trecut si asimiland-o in timp.
Nu, eu vorbesc despre inimile care raman mutilate, care isi pierd reperele, care sunt intr-o cadere libera pentru ca nu mai stiu unde este sus si unde jos, care intra in latenta si continua sa existe asa, pana la final.
Sunt inimile care sunt sfaramate fara avertisment, precum o lovitura de sabie miseleasca pe campul de lupta. De multe ori nu e timp sa inteleaga de ce si de unde si, in caderea libera, luptatorul nu poate decat sa mimeze o uimire infricosatoare, pana cand se prabuseste in praf.
Inimile frante au un sunet specific: de inecare in abis.
Inca ma intreb cum de unele se recupereaza.




Broken hearts have their own sound. It’s the creepy sound of screaming in an empty space, of words running desperately into one direction just to end up hitting an invisible wall that does nothing but amplify the dimension of loneliness. Broken hearts have an echo of madness, fear, abandonment and imminent death.
I discovered this by listening to music. My system was programmed to feel pleasure when listening to a certain “arrangement” of musical sounds. It was only when I got to listen to the songs for the third or fourth time, when I had already satisfied my pleasure of listening to the sound and had the patience to listen to the words, that I noticed they were all about loss of love and desperation in front of the loneliness. It wasn’t the kind of songs that sing the love beautiful and sweet. Those hearts don’t lose themselves, they go through a process of transformation, assimilating their experience in time.
No, I’m talking of the hearts that remain mutilated, the hearts that lose their marks, that are on a free fall because they don’t know anymore what’s up and what’s down, hearts that enter a dormant state and continue to exist like that until the end.
It’s the hearts broken without warning, like a cowardly sword strike on the battlefield. Most of the times, the fighter has no time to ask himself where from and why and, in his free falling, he can only mime a scary amazed figure, until he touches the dust.
Broken hearts have their own sound: of drowning into the abyss.
I still wonder how some of them manage to rise again.

Weapons of choice

Every time I become hurt, there’s this blade inside my mind that cuts through everything in its way. So shiny, so smooth, so silent! So comforting, knowing that I have it and can use it over and over again, to release my soul from any claws thrown my way.   How do you think it is, dancing your pain away, rising still half asleep, pushed back up on your feet, by a power that is never dormant? Today I picked my sword up again. I wish I hadn’t…I wish it were peace…but I felt a wound bleeding from my chest. And it woke me up, lift me up savagely and I reached for my weapon. It felt like I’ve never really let it out of my hand; my fingers curled around the old handle and memories started flooding the back of my eyes. I was so good at handling the sword. Still am.  So I lift it up above my head and started cutting the strings. I do it better when I’m getting a rhythm. So I called for a rhythm. My hands started moving methodically. My body entered a musical state. I w...

Four years and many dolls later

2 015 has started in complete denial for me. After over a year and a half of heartbreak, some stress that came with that and some guts that came out of nowhere and ripped some bandages covering a lot of bad bad things, I had decided it was time to practice being single. But not in a wallowing in self pity feeling sorry for myself kind of way, nor in a “men are terrible, I should only rely on pets” kind, either. Just being single and bei ng curious about every single experience, from having the morning coffee by myself, to fully functioning professionally and socially. Not that I had not been single before, but very rarely was I not “on the market”. So, half of 2014 I had been single and since December of that year, I had decided I actually was going to give this solo thing a try. It lasted four full months. It doesn’t look much in writing, either! Well, here is what happened! Armed with the will to practice curiosity and patience, I have started planning, for 2015, all those th...

Adevarul

For English version, please scroll down. Obisnuiam sa spun ca daca ar fi sa aleg intre a trai in adevar sau a trai in fericire, as alege adevarul. Nimic nu s-a schimbat. L-am cautat cu atata indarjire, incat acum, la aproape 28 de ani, mi-e teama ca sunt foarte aproape de a-l vedea in toata fragezimea lui, plesnindu-ma peste ochi cu vigoarea si sanatatea lui, indepartand cojile miturilor care mi-au tinut de cald atat vreme. Stau in fata unui boboc care inca nu s-a deschis, dar care, tachinandu-ma, face loc irisului meu curios in incaperile lui interioare, lasandu-ma la savurez cate o clipa a ceea ce mi se va infatisa in curand. Nu stiu cand a inceput calatoria mea. A fost cand am rupt legaturile dintr-o relatie abuziva in care mi-am consumat mai multe resurse emotionale decat credeam ca am? A fost cand am imbratisat cu devotament ideea tatalui meu cum ca nu exista nimic dupa moarte si m-am trezit intr-un paradox care tipa dupa explicatii? A fost cand mi-am dat seama ca mi-e frica de mo...
