The Life’s Blockade

Today, I opened a new Word document with the firm expectation of write an article, but suddenly the words didn’t come into my mind. I could not write. I felt stuck. And as time passes and you remain seated staring at the blank screen, anxiety arises, and your mind drives into a dark road of […]

Every Day, A Different Life

I spent a week visiting Disney World, and during seven straight days I experienced multiple rides and shows, diverse meals, but above all, endless lines to enter the attractions—even considering I had fast passes—, because if there is a common denominator in all Disney’s parks is huge crowds. Quite honestly, I’m not a huge fan […]

Life after Life: The Countless Versions of You According to Quantum Physics.

February 11th, 1910, on a cold night, Sylvie Todd is in child labor waiting for the doctor to arrive during a snowstorm. But he is unable to arrive on time and the baby, Ursula Todd, dies before she could draw her first breath. However, that very same night, in an alternate version, Ursula Todd is […]

The End is… Nigh?

With recent events like the assassination of Iranian general Suleiman that brought the world close to the declaration of a new war, and the catastrophic wildfires in Australia or the snow in Saudi Arabia’s desert, a lot of people read this as signs that prophesize the imminent world’s end. But, how far are we to […]

The Witcher and The Law of Surprise.

“You will give me that which you already have but do not know. I’ll return to Cintra in six years to see if destiny has been kind to me.” These are the fearsome words of Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher, before sealing his destiny forever. The Law of Surprise is an oath evoked recurrently in […]

Harry Potter and The Brexit of Fire

“Where are your parents?” “They’re dead,” said Harry shortly. He didn’t feel much like going into the matter with this boy. “Oh, sorry,” said the other, not sounding sorry at all. “But they were our kind, weren’t they?” “They were a witch and a wizard, if that’s what you mean.” “I really don’t think they […]

Asymptotic Love

Our sights entangled, like two dancers who find themselves in the center of the ballroom, dancing to a tune which is familiar to both, enacting a coming and going of subtle gestures like a mime would translate the unspoken words. For an instant, even when we look each other from across the room, the space […]

Death is not the End

“Death is not the end,” my grandmother said to me, while watering the flowers of her garden. “And what follows?” I asked naively when I was nine. And my grandmother proceeded to tell me an old story. A legend of her people. According to Guarani beliefs, after dying, the soul detaches from the body and […]

Is religion the main cause for gender inequality?

March 8th is the International Women’s Day, first organized back in 1909 in New York by the Socialist Party of America, but even hundred and ten years later, it seems not much has changed for millions of women around the globe. But it’s interesting to observe how this inequality of gender is accentuated in the […]

Heart Failure

And there I was standing, surrounded by a multitude but feeling alone. Unable to see my soul reflected in the eyes in anybody. Except but one. The one who averted her eyes from me. Have you ever wished for something with all your heart only to find that life conspires to keep it out of […]
