Iāve always been the boy that would carry water in the strainer. My friends would always say that carrying water in the strainer would be the same as stealing the wind and trying to sell it on the beach. It would be the same to grab drops from a glass of water or the same as feeding fish in the pockets of my coats.
.
Iāve been the boy that was addicted to things that had no purpose. Iāve tried to build a foundation for a house over morning dews. Iāve enjoyed the emptiness and not the fullness, it feels great to be able to fill something empty from scratch. Emptiness can be infinite.
.
With time, this boy that was addicted to non sense things and was weird - just because he liked to carry water in a strainer - discovered that he liked to write down his thoughts, transform them into songs, texts, articles. He also found out that writing songs and texts is actually the same as carrying water in a strainer.
.
Composing and writing he found out he could be anything: a monk, a hiker, be loved, homeless, a model, everything at the same time. The boy found out he could use words and create weird situations with his imagination. He also found out that writing songs and texts is actually the same as carrying water in a strainer. A nonsense and just useless to the world.
.
When writing my texts, I was able to stop my character - or myself - from hopping on a plane just by putting a ādotā at the end of a sentence. I was able to modify the city I live in, simply by creating a whole week of sunny days. I was able to create anything that I wanted! I even modified someone elseās cold heart to become a warm flower.
.
My mom always looked at me with tenderness. My mom said I would always be an artist. I would carry water in the strainer during my whole life. She said: āYou will fill every emptiness you find with your crazy weird stories, your songs, your love or whatever you create; and some people will even love you for that! They will love you by your nonsenseā.
