Joyas Voladoras

Yesterday we read Joyas Voladoras in class. In the article there were many references about hearts in animals, and heart breaks. I think that the ending was more discouraging than the rest of the article or poem, when it was talking about how we never truly love someone, and how we always wish we will find someone to love and love us, but we soon realize that, it may not happen.Some of the lines i thought mad you thing a lot. Especially, the "Every living creature on Earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly like a tortoise, and live to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old." It really makes you think how to spend your life. Like you can spend it with love and it could mean something special, or you can waste your whole life complaining, and worrying and have a very sad life. And in the end everyone's heart stops beating, and nothing is ever going to change that. And that's what i think the author is saying in that line. I thought this article really mad e you think about life and the future, and even love.
