[ENG|SPN] Letter to a stranger

[davpe]

Friend

Dear reader, to you I address my letter with only one purpose, to give testimony of my existence. I know very well that I am a stranger in your life, it even seems that in society itself I have ceased to exist, however, even in my loneliness I imagine a world where many people surround me. Today you are one of them, by reading this statement you become a witness that I am still alive, I do not know where I am, I have no idea of the date it is, but I am sure of something, wherever you are there I would like to be.

I have tried many times to leave this place, all my efforts have been in vain, although it seems incredible there is a barrier that prevents the exit, I can not see beyond the limits of the town, no matter how hard I try I am unable to cross the border. My compass has gone crazy, north and south are one and the same, no matter how many signals I send no one seems to notice my call for help; it seems that I am alone in the world, surrounded by an infinite darkness that prevents the passage of light. I honestly don't remember how I got here, I just woke up one day and realized my situation.

I spend long hours looking at the horizon, imagining an alternative reality where there is a crowd that rejoices at my arrival, I can see my mother's face crying with joy as she hugs me, my friends organize a party to celebrate our reunion. Maybe it's a fantasy, but thanks to it I've managed to stay alive for so long, I haven't succumbed to madness, despair hasn't broken my sanity.

I would like to believe that outside there is someone missing me, at least one person looking for me, although after so long it is easy to imagine that he has given up, I don't know, but I want to dream that it is not so. I don't give up either, the hope of being found drives me to keep sending signals, and in doing so, my illusion of getting out of this hell is renewed.

Maybe you think I'm crazy and that I made up this story to get your attention, and I certainly am, but my shrink was to run away from my reality, to escape from the problems, to get away from the life I was leading and undermined my peace of mind. Today I miss all that, they were part of me, they made me the person I was, they taught me to grow, to be strong, to never give up, to get up in every fall, to continue despite the abversities, in short, I missed what I was, and now without knowing how it happened I have lost my way. I am alone and the way back has disappeared.

Now I try to recover, I can't turn back time but I can have a new beginning, for that I need to get out of here, find a reason and hold on to it, create the opportunity that will allow me to leave this forced loneliness. I am still alive, and I will use every drop of my blood to destroy the barrier that keeps me isolated from the outside world; I have already given up enough, from now on it is up to me to fight, fight and fight until I am victorious.

I have to say goodbye, but first I want to thank you for having found my letter and read it to the end, you are a stranger to me and I to you, however, you are the only person I have been able to talk to after several years of loneliness, therefore I consider you a great friend. With love and affection I bid you farewell.

Sincerely

Amigo

Querido lector, a ti dirijo mi carta con un solo propósito, dar testimonio de mi existencia. Sé muy bien que soy un desconocido en tu vida, inclusive parece que en la misma sociedad he dejado de existir, sin embargo, aún en mi soledad imagino un mundo donde me rodean muchas personas. Hoy eres uno de ellos, al leer esta declaración te conviertes en testigo de que aún estoy vivo, no sé dónde me encuentro, tampoco tengo idea de la fecha que es, pero estoy seguro de algo, donde sea que te encuentres allí quisiera estar.

He intentado muchas veces salir de este lugar, todos mis esfuerzos han sido en vano, aunque parezca increíble existe una barrera que impide la salida, no logro ver más allá de los límites del pueblo, por más que lo intento soy incapaz de traspasar la frontera. Mi brújula se ha vuelto loca, norte y sur son uno mismo, por más señales que envío nadie parece notar mi llamada de auxilio; tal parece que estoy solo en el mundo, rodeado de una oscuridad infinita que impide el paso de luz. Sinceramente no recuerdo cómo llegué aquí, solo desperté un día y me dí cuenta de mi situación.

Paso largas horas mirando al horizonte, imaginando una realidad alternativa donde existe una multitud que se alegra de mi llegada, puedo ver el rostro de mi mamá llorando de alegría mientras me abraza, mis amigos organizan una fiesta para celebrar nuestro reencuentro. Quizás sea una fantasía, pero gracias a ella he logrado mantenerme con vida durante tanto tiempo, no he sucumbido a la locura, la desesperación no ha roto mi cordura.

Quisiera creer que afuera existe alguien extrañándome, al menos una persona buscándome, aunque después de tanto tiempo es fácil imaginar que se halla dado por vencido, no lo sé, pero quiero soñar con que no es así. Yo tampoco me doy por vencido, la esperanza de ser encontrado me impulsa a seguir enviando señales, al hacerlo, se renova mi ilusión por salir de este infierno.

Quizás pienses que estoy loco y que me inventé está historia para llamar tu atención, y ciertamente lo estoy, pero mi loquera fue huir de mi realidad, escapar de los problemas, alejarme de la vida que llevaba y socavaba mi tranquilidad. Hoy extraño todo eso, eran parte de mí, me hacían ser la persona que era, me enseñaron a crecer, a ser fuerte, a no rendirme jamás, a levantarme en cada caída, a continuar a pesar de las abversidades, en fin, extrañó lo que era, y ahora sin saber como sucedió me he extraviado. Estoy solo y el camino de regreso ha desaparecido.

Ahora intento recuperarme, no puedo regresar el tiempo pero si puedo tener un nuevo inicio, par ello necesito salir de aquí, encontrar un motivo y aferrarme a el, crear la oportunidad que me permita abandonar esta soledad forzada. Sigo vivo, y emplearé cada gota de mi sangre por destruir la barrera que me mantiene aislado del mundo exterior; ya me he rendido lo suficiente, a partir de ahora corresponde luchar, luchar y luchar hasta salir victorioso.

Me tengo que despedir, pero antes quiero darte las gracias por haber encontrado mi carta y leerla hasta el final, eres un extraño para mí y yo para ti, sin embargo, eres la única persona con la que he podido hablar después de varios años de soledad, por lo tanto te considero un gran amigo. Con amor y cariño me despido.

Atentamente
