Transcribed from the Lau's blue gift notebook:
Idea #1:
There's a need for intimacy I had never quite fulfilled until now.
Que buena la era de los cellphones, verdad?
Chocolate is not the only thing that warms the heart.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Y mi letra es igual de mala como el tuyo.
As usual, I wonder. I wonder how sacred the ideas that I write into this book should be.
Sometimes I fail by zeal and devotion, and somethings I fail by lack thereof. How precious is this book to me? As a gift from Laura, a 9. By itself, a 7. As a tool to better myself and my handwriting, an 8.
Laura me muestra cariño, aprecio, y repetidas veces, con sus llamadas y su conversación. Me pide consejo, me extraña, soy importante en su vida. ¿Es ella importante en la mía? Sí lo es. Pero siento que así lo son otras amigas, y mi atención y apreciación parece dividida. Quiero enfocar mi atención a quien me ofrece la suya, con quien siento que podemos lograr un mejor futuro.
Some people value others according to the benefits they can reap from them. I'm starting to suspect I exhibit an opposite behavior. Valuing others by the benefits I can give to them. I enjoy teaching people, making a positive influence on them. But if I feel I can't do this, as has been the case during the last few months, my appreciation seems to diminish. Like to Laura - how did I react so neutrally to her offer of love? Not an immediate offer, but before the accident my heart would've fluttered at hearing such a thing. Instead, I analyzed and explained my feelings without changes in my voice, and barely any in my heart. I actually felt powerless to do anything for her, so my feelings did not bloom.
Generous as this attitude may sound. I wonder if the criterion of potential for giving is appropriate for love.
