Soy un catalán que escribe en lengua castellana. Yo nunca vi en ello nada anormal. Y aunque creo que la inmensa mayoría comparte mi opinión, hay sin embargo quién piensa que se trata de una anomalía, un desacuerdo entre lo que soy y represento, y lo que debería haber sido y haber quizá representado. Dicho sea de paso, desacuerdos entre lo que soy y lo que podría haber sido en esta vida, como escritor y como simple individuo, tengo para dar y tomar , o, como decimos en Cataluña, per donar i per vendre.

Because it is carpe diem which matters. And this rule often applies also to people. Friends become those with whom you hang around, with whom you share a table over beers, despite the conversation is not particularly inspiring. That is why it is relieving to sometimes find out that uniquess is still a value, and an important one. That you still have friends who you do not have the chance to see very often, but they remain special. And although you may share your time with other folks, your meetings with your genuine friends are much more exciting. And in terms of love, it is nice to eventually recover the faith you once lost.
