Juan's blog
A human who writes in natural and programming languages
Currently living in Argentina and working as an iOS/watchOS engineer at Runna (acquired by Strava).
This is my little corner of the internet. My tiny garden. I write about whatever inspires or interests me, usually in the form of blog posts.
Life isn't about finding yourself, or finding anything. Life is about creating yourself. And creating things.

Muchas pasiones de Milei son intensas y lo intenso suele ser efímero.

Para mí era un nuevo estilo de vida, cuya posibilidad nunca había imaginado con Claire, y que estaba llena de atractivos insospechados, bueno, lo que quiero decir es que Camille tenía ideas sobre la manera de vivir, la colocabas en una pequeña localidad normanda perdida en medio del campo y ella veía enseguida el modo de sacar el mayor partido del lugar. Los hombres, en general, no saben vivir, no tienen ninguna familiaridad real con la vida, nunca se sienten en ella totalmente a gusto, por eso persiguen diferentes proyectos, más o menos ambiciosos o más o menos grandiosos, depende, claro está, fracasan y llegan a la conclusión de que habría sido mejor, simplemente, dedicarse a vivir, pero suele ser demasiado tarde.
