Lina Maria Giraldo's Blog

I’m unique. She doesn’t understand that. She goes blind because of her selfishness. I’m the only one and I only exist once. There are no second opportunities in my path. It’s now, not yesterday and not tomorrow. I wish she opened her eyes and saw the grin. Why is she so dark? Why doesn’t she discover all the wonderful things I have? I bring her every day a surprise, but she keeps ignoring them. The door has been closed so many times by her.

She’s my worst enemy. Her thoughts kill my future. Her sadness eats my brain, soul and heart.

I wish one day she woke up and realized I’m always by her side.

Story Board from Lina Giraldo on Vimeo.

Every day is just one more day, one more baby, one more car, one more house, one more bottle. Every moment that goes by is one more piece for the puzzle. Our consumption just helps the mountain grow. Empty bottles, cups, plastic containers just become one more layer of the noise in this unfriendly city.

The fire of the lamp burns my tired eyes
The plastic sound of the screen weighs in my ears
The window fighting against the wind
The trees dancing on the far away

My back is vanishing as sand that has been touched
My eyes dimming as the time passes
The tsunami of emails drowns me
Time doesn’t’ work when the terminal is on
My hard drive looks at me with inquisitives eyes
It’s time to stop

Every day is one more day, one more baby, one more car, one more house, one more bottle. I’m a human I live in NYC and I’m always in a rush. I try to recycle and I used to have compost bin… Almost every day, I’ll buy something, could be lunch, water, coffee…. can’t live without coffee. All great and delicious, but every moment that goes by, is one more piece for the puzzle. Our shadow of consumption just helps the mountain grow. Around me are people walking like robots connected through their cell phones. They always go and eat outside because there is not time to stop or cook. They stop every second for a coffee because there is no energy anymore. Empty bottles, cups, plastic container just become one more layer of the noisiness of this unfriendly city.
