A kid's show

Even now my favorite TV show is Courage the cowardly dog. This tv carton for kids makes me feel complete, because with a simple dog called Courage with an adoptive human family (Muriel and Eustace) puts a lot of paradigms and “adult” problems like the personal acceptance (I think the episode “perfect” of courage, is the best example, because courage can’t do perfect things, and in the end he accepts that he is not a machine, he is imperfect and that’s beautiful). I watched this series like 5 times, and my favorite episode is “the last of the star makers”, because for me is an inspiring metaphor for the creation of the universe and the starts, with giant squids that in the earth become flowers when they die

“For making stars of us, making flowers on the earth” said Muriel.

I had the luck of meeting the creator of this series John R Dilworth when he came to Chile, and I loved him. A fan questioned him “why he decided to do a cartoon series with too much adult content” and he answered that “children can be as smart as adults”.

My favorite technological thing

Well, in my mind the cell phone actually is essential for the life in 21th century, because the cell phone has an entire life in it like our photos, music, videos, books, etc.

 But that´s not my favorite thing, however I guess headphones are nothing without the music player (in my case the cell phone).

Yes, my favorite technological objects are headphones. Because with this objet I can disconnect myself from the world and put myself in the songs that are ringing my heart and even make internal dances, is for me too immersive, maybe if it is a simple objet. And I can listen to favorite artists like if they were here.

Sometimes I feel that the street noise is too loud for my nanai self and for me is uncomfortable and with the music I can disappear from the loud world and being in my own disco.  

“WHY ARTS? WHY? DON´T”

This horrible event occurred when I was a little girl.

I had 4 years when my world was just The lyon king  and Teletubbies, in fact my world was only the television. But one day my mom gave me some illustrative book about Perrault’s stories, and that was the epic mistake because I scratched all the book and I decided “I’ll be and artist of painting and drawing” –my mother laughed and my father said “WHY?”

When I grew up drawing was part of my life, but I began to think that drawing wasn’t enough for my future. I wanted to be a lawyer and sometimes a journalist (EVEN an engineer). 
Because I was always clumsy for my parents, partners and friends and I felt “Imperfect”.
My mission was demonstrate that I could be more being a lawyer or whatever.

But leaving out the art from my life was impossible. 
Now I still doubt about this decision, sometimes I think this is a mistake but if it is, then it's a beautiful one.

My Hypersomnia

My name is Paola I'm trying to talk about me, but I really don't know too much about me so I had to do some self-discovery and think more about "me". So I remembered that I'm a person who always wants to sleep and because of that Im a tired calm girl.

I'm always like 

“I don't want to do anything but sleep” 

“Why are the other people sooo energetic ”

And for that in the moment when the doctor said

“You have hypersomnia”

And explained me that "hypersomnia means being always with drowsiness because you need to sleep more than the regular people in order to be alright and that influences your mood and energy”

I was like

“Oh that explains all of my life”

Because I always thought that I was really weird for not being energetic or optimist, but when I discovered my hypersomnia was like “well this has a name”

Now I can tolerate and love my{hypersomnia}self.
