I’m sorry for calling you obese, lowest weight. Please come back to me and I promise to treat you right bbg.
Let’s be honest here
Obviously being hungry sucks but the absolute soul crushing disappointment after eating feels much worse
We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art;
We go there to restore our shattered selves into wholes

Y quise hablar... Y el fácil movimiento
de mis labios contuve
¡como si el proferir una palabra fuera tal vez mi muerte!

Diego: Mi amor, hoy me acorde de ti aunque no lo mereces tengo que reconocer que te amo. Como olvidar aquel día cuando te pregunte sobre mis cuadros por primera vez. Yo una chiquilla tonta, tu gran señor con mirada lujuriosa me diste la respuesta aquella , para mi satisfacción por verme feliz, sin conocerme siquiera me animaste a seguir adelante. Mi Diego del alma recuerda que siempre te amare aunque no estés a mi lado . Yo en mi soledad te digo, amar no es pecado a Dios. Amor aun te digo si quieres regresa, que siempre te estaré esperando. Tu ausencia me mata, haces de tu recuerdo una virtud. Tu eres el Dios inexistente cada que tu imagen se me revela. Le pregunto a mi corazón por que tu y no algún otro soy yo del alma mía, -Frida K.
Diego:
My love, today I remembered you even though you don’t deserve it I have to admit that I love you. How to forget that day when I asked you about my paintings for the first time. I was such the youngster you the great studhorse with a lustful expression you gave me that answer, to my satisfaction, you are happy from seeing me without even knowing me you encouraged me to go forward . My Diego of the soul remember that I will always love you even if you are not at my side, I in my solitude tell you; to love is not a hateful sin love still I tell you if you want to return , I will always be waiting for you Your absence kills me, making a virtue of your memory. You are the nonexistent God. Each time your image is revealed to me. I ask my heart, why you and not someone else my loving soul.
-Frida K.

My mind still wanders to a future we’ll never share.
Dear Reader,
I married him. And he melts my anger with his kindness.
You had me at a point where i would’ve left the entire world behind for you
