“Fortuna Sin Amor (El Soneto) ¡Te quiero, te quiero mucho, mi amor! Me muero por escuchar esta proclamación. Estoy hablando en español, ¿sabes por qué? Si lloras bajo la lluvia, no atraerás la atención. Si hablo en inglés, todos descubrirán mi secreto, Que no soy ningún sabio, solo un alma perdida. Por eso hablo el idioma de la revolución, Solo un amante loco puede entender a otro idiota. Lastima mucho, este largo viaje lastima mucho pero, Tengo que fingir que soy la persona más fuerte. Todavía a veces solo quiero olvidar toda la guerra, A veces solo quiero perderme en el abrazo de alguien. Ahora sabes mi secreto - mi honor está confiado a ti. Si la ves, díselo - fortuna sin amor es maldición para mi.”

With twenty dogs or only our little Sabrina. All I care about is your happiness. That’s what makes me happy―knowing that you’re content and satisfied. Knowing that I’ll wake up beside you every single morning. Knowing that I can kiss you any time I want. Knowing that you’re mine.”

“I've been patient. I decided early on that I'd get where I needed to go if I just kept going. Some moves were intentional and sometimes I put my body on autopilot just to get through things. I enjoyed the views from the bottom and the views from the apex. And sometimes, I've winced at the views from both. I'm patient like every molecule of water - knowing it will eventually make it to the ocean.”
