Quiroga - 235

 Be someone

There was a time, in ancient Rome, when the months of January and February did not exist, the fiscal calendar recognized only 10 months, from March to December, and this identity remains to this day through the names of the months. December, for example, which is the twelfth month for us, actually alludes to the number ten.

Identity maintained in the names, somehow the mood also accompanies the names, and we can already sense the beginning of productive time, the end of rest, of dolce far niente, and the restart of the eternal struggle to accommodate our dreams in concrete reality, always much narrower than the dream world, restricting and oppressing it, and which condemns us to having to work from sunrise to sunset, with the sweat of our physical, emotional and mental bodies to, in the end, gain the status of “being someone ”.


Note: The year, based on lunar cycles, has 13 months of 28 days, this year starting on April 1st (christened "April Fools' Day" by the dark ones). December is actually the tenth month of this lunar year [September is the seventh month, October is the eighth and November is the ninth month].
