Not giving up… 🐾
But yeah, at times, I just want to throw in the towel, as they say, and just let it all go by... But, I will probably use a lot of "buts" in this post, I am still going. Trying to find ways to get through this. I know the worst of the grief is slowly fading now. I still cry, but a little less. I still miss her every day. But, days come and go, and my life is slowly moving forward, adapting to a life without her, slowly preparing for a life with a new furry companion. I now have little Bas with me here. And, he's really a sweet and cuddly dog, loves walkies and sniffs, and loves to steal my space on my bed... 😇 He enjoys getting in between my legs as I sleep, which is very cute, and nice and warm (mind you, he's on the blankets, not under them), but it's a hassle when you try to move in your sleep, or... When you need to pee very badly. 😂 Still, it does help me to adjust to caring for a dog for a while again... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/not-giving-up-%f0%9f%90%be/

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
The boldest thinker may have his moments of languor and discouragement, when he feels as if he could willingly exchange faiths with the old beldame crossing herself at the cathedral-door, — nay, that, if he could drop all coherent thought, and lie in the flowery meadow with the brown-eyed solemnly unthinking cattle, looking up to the sky, and all their simple consciousness staining itself blue, then down to the grass, and life turning to a mere greenness, blended with confused scents of herbs, — no individual mind-movement such as men are teased with, but the great calm cattle-sense of all time and all places that know the milky smell of herds, — if he could be like these, he would be content to be driven home by the cow-boy, and share the grassy banquet of the king of ancient Babylon. Let us be very generous, then, in our judgment of those who leave the front ranks of thought for the company of the meek non-combatants who follow with the baggage and provisions. Age, illness, too much wear and tear, a half-formed paralysis, may bring any of us to this pass.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1860-09), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 18, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 35More info about this quote: wist.info/holmes-sr-oliver-wen…

The Power of Giving Up
As writers, we’re often advised not to give up in the face of challenges and obstacles. Just keep going! The only one who can stop you from being published is you! You’ll get there!
Globally, over the long term, this is great advice.

I'm giving up on Emily Dickinson. After a hundred or so pages, I just can't muster interest, and I don't think I like "get it" formally. Is it just me?

The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of the runners don’t even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water.
Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side.
It’s not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse.
What we need in this race is a lot more streakers.Banksy (b. 1974?) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director

Me encantó el análisis, muy bueno, y es por eso que creo que aquí es un buen lugar para también compartir algo de mi visión con respecto al tema.
Un poco de contexto, #LinkinPark para mí no es solo la música, les conocí en mi adolescencia, como muchas otras personas, y rápidamente se convirtieron en los voceros de lo que sentía en aquel momento, desde #HybridTheory hasta #Meteora ellos expresaron con fuerza y en canciones lo que quizás yo no podía en aquel entonces. Se convirtieron en «mi banda».
En aquellos tiempos logré compartir un poco el gusto por la banda, hice «amistades» por así decirlo. Pero muchas de ellas de repente dejaron de escuchar Linkin Park cuando salió #MinutesToMidnight y la que sería su canción de album emblema #WhatIveDone. «Linkin Park había cambiado» según muchas personas y me di cuenta que sólo se quedaron, probablemente, con el video clip de la canción, que en aquella época me recordaba a lo que más o menos #U2 venía sacando, además que la misma fue incluida en la película de #Transformers, parecía que nadie más había escuchado el resto del album donde #BleedItOut o especialmente #GivingUp todavía hablaban de dolor ¿Había menos gritos? Tal vez, pero la banda crece y lo mismo pasaba con nosotres, ya no éramos aquellos adolescentes que solo miraban su propio dolor y sufrimiento, o el de nuestras amistades cercanas, se supone que crecemos para expandirnos y, al igual que la banda, empezar a interesarse por otras cosas. Al menos creo que así deberían haber sido las cosas.
Yo en cambio escuché cada album, tomé cada mensaje y lo volví mío porque la banda aun en mi adultez no dejaba de expresar mis dolores, porque de eso se trataba todo el mundo lo dice #ChesterBennigton convertía su dolor en canciones y ahí conectábamos muches.
Luego Chester se fue y yo nunca pude ver a Linkin Park, mi última oportunidad fue en el 2017, en el #MaximusFestival de #Argentina y no logré ir.
Ahora aparece una nueva oportunidad de manos de una nueva vocalista que ni por asomo pretendo que sea Chester, nunca lo pretendí, pero es una cantante que está rodeada (o al menos lo estaba) de polémica y esto para mí, a nivel personal y por todo lo que he expresado, es muy importante porque parte de los dolores de Chester tenían que ver con abuso, y se dice de #EmilyArmstrong que «defendió» a un abusador en la corte. Ella ya dio su respuesta ante eso, personalmente me supo a poco pero sigo dándole el beneficio de la duda (también con el tema de que sea cienciologa) pero no tanto por ella sino porque quiero creer que la banda, que #MikeShinoda y los demás, no aceptarían una persona que fuera totalmente en contra y opuesta a lo que Chester era no solo como músico sino también como persona.
Emily puede ser muy copada, muy grosa, pero supongamos que hubieran puesto a otra persona que sonara exactamente igual que Chester al punto que el sonido no cambiara nada en absoluto, pero que se tratara de una persona nefasta. Para mí no vale, puedes sonar muy bien pero si vas a hablar de dolor y ser alguien que lo fomenta o que es cómplice no es más que pura hipocresía, yo no te escucharía por más épica que seas porque no apoyaría una persona así. Por el momento Emily tiene mi «sí» como cantante, y por lo otro sigue todo en un gran «veremos»
Todo ésto es mi manera personal de ver las cosas y solo quería compartirlo. Si algo de lo que he dicho les mueve o les interesa ya saben, escriban y que la cosa crezca de manera linda :)
Y por el momento sí estoy escuchando el nuevo album y estoy considerando ir a ver Linkin Park en noviembre cuando vengan a la Argentina porque quizás también, superados ya todos los juicios, esta sea la revancha a la oportunidad que perdí durante tantos años.
