A job

My interests are always around the field of arts and aesthetics. I believe in art as a form of life, so basically I do everything keeping that in mind. Also I'm very passionate about fashion, because it's a form of self-expression that I’ve built over the years. So, if I have to choose a dream job it has to be something in that area, maybe as a designer or art director on some brand. 

As I said, I think the main skills I would need to be successful is a sense of construction of the visual object that makes it special, the creative will to make a statement and tell a story that appears clearly to the eyes when you see that. Also, I think as an artist you should always make people uncomfortable, to shock them, so I would like to make clothing not as an embellishment or a way to cover yourself, but an extension of your persona. I’d like to be over dramatic about my looks, because it’s funnier. 

Working as an art director would allow me to express myself, and live the art as I’m feeling it, so it’s the main reward I could possibly get from this. And not to be bored, I hate being bore.     

What I'm reading

Okay, as you may (or may not) know, im a psychologist student, so the most things i read are for my classes. Some more interesting than others. 

At this moment I'm reading a lot of articles about the prison system, and how to make interventions in that context. The one im actually reading is called "Women faced with the punitive System", this paper presents an analysis, from a gender and feminist perspective, of the flaws that jail (and the punitive system itself) has, specially when it refers to women. In general, this article claims that most jails are not prepared for this demography, Another goal of the paper is to build a profile of the famale offender, and it says that most of them are uneducated and poor, in another words, these women are from the marginated regions of society. 

I think this topic it's quite interesting, but also really complex. I think that, as a society, we have a lot to do when it comes to gender issues, because when you look at the things we take as granted or obviuos, you see a lot of male domination, you would see the patriarchy in all of the spaces. 

A friend of mine

Today I'm going to tell you a little about a really nice and deep and funny and unsual person, that I have the luck to be friends with. Her name is Claudia Cristina, also known as Amapola, that's her stage name. We met in 2013, the first year of university when we were in the bachelor program. She was like not giving a shit about anyone there, the first time i saw her she was reading the newspaper and i was talking to a friend about Hija de Perra, and she interreputs us and said something like: She's the greatest, and then back to the newspaper. And I clearly remember saying in my head she's definitely gonna be my sister. 

I think we like each other because we are both dark souls, our sense of humor its quite black and sarcastic, also we are both kind of mad. The madness brought us together. 

I see her almost everyday, we are like twin sisters, Cojoined twin sister.

A present.
 

Not really long ago, I met a guy and I like him a lot actually. The thing about the present is that, he at that time didn’t know me that well, he didn’t know me at all in fact, but he gave me one of the nicest things I could think of. 

That thing is a music CD, Bjork’s Debut album as a solo artist, and I’m in love with her. I think her music comes from a deep place, where emotions are mixed with art in a weird and raw way, all of her albums tells a different story and it’s fun to see how she changes, including music and herself, to portray these new characters. Bjork as an artist makes music a really complex landscape, and makes me feel a whole spectrum of feelings where happiness and loneliness and excitement are in the same time, all at once. 

I think I like this gift basically because I felt heard, I felt noticed and important for someone who really knew very few about myself, but also someone who wanted to get to know me. So now it’s on my desk, watching me and reminding me.
