  The fact that I
  am writing to you
  in English
  already falsifies what I
  wanted to tell you.
  My subject:
  how to explain to you that I
  don’t belong to English
  though I belong nowhere else

  Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Bilingual Blues: Poems, 1981-1994 (x)  (via ethiopienne)

  Everytime I write in English I feel like I’m wearing this armour, like my thoughts are clearer, sharper, more clean-cut and surgical; while all the filthy, messy, sentimental aspect can only be spoken about in Spanish.
