When I freeze

I sit on the couch in the dark and I can see four white squares, arranged in the shape of a bigger square; yet seperated. I wish those four could merge into one so I can fly through it out of here. But I still sit and imagine I flew through!

"Lo que no mata, engorda"
A spanish proveb

I love the spanish language, and I keep translating song lyrics to learn more about it! This time I tried prverbs. I came across this one

Lo: It
que: that
matar: kill or slay
engorda: fatten

Translation: It that doesn't kill you, fattens youIt is somewhats equivelant to the english proverb : "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

Personally I am a big fan of this proverb, I return to it when I am in need of explanation to harsh reality. When life gives me a nice slap in the face, I freeze in astonishment. Usually that is the case with me, I need time to understand what has happened. But I cure my wound with this idea. It is easy to say it, very hard to act upon it, but we must use the slap in our favour!
