But it doesn&#8217;t matter. She says she\u2019s happy, even though things aren\u2019t going so well\u2014she doesn&#8217;t understand why\u2014but in the end what does it matter if she\u2019s happy. My friends, she continues, if they\u2019re not unemployed they\u2019ve got health problems or their parents are on their last legs, so whoever I talk to, there are always problems\u2026 Nevertheless, I feel good, even with the allergy after coming back from my travels, and I can\u2019t breathe without sneezing. But as I said, things look good, I\u2019m positive. And that\u2019s the main thing.<\/p>\n<p>However bad things may seem, if you\u2019re positive, you\u2019ll feel like Cleopatra, even without high heels or anything\u2026 And you should see the week I have ahead of me\u2026 But all in all, it seems as though life smiles at me, or maybe I smile at life, but say what you like, and eating with my friend, the one I\u2019ve told you about, who\u2019s like one of the living dead, it\u2019s been very nice and we\u2019ve laughed and I also laughed with my friends having a drink earlier, and I really enjoyed reading the text of the <em>Faces<\/em> this morning while I ate my breakfast. So I thought that today I would give you the nicest face I have, and I also thought that we have a few faces of our own, that sometimes we show the world, and other faces we\u2019ve learned, like the hipsters and the jihadists you were talking about\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just that there are faces or flags we find on the floor and that we unfurl, even if we don\u2019t totally believe in them, because these are the faces or flags the tribe demands from us. The number of times I haven\u2019t been me because of the tribe! By the way, I didn&#8217;t understand the last sentence in <em>Faces<\/em>, the one about the many declentions of the face, or maybe I did understand, like those verbs in Arabic that have different forms depending on their function, and each form represents a function, the second emphasizes the idea of the verb, the fifth is reflexive and the fourth inchoative, so maybe faces are like that, each with a function\u2026 Yes, I say to her, and also that in Beijing, in a place called 798, that\u2019s a kind of huge arts center with walls where it\u2019s legal to paint graffiti, I\u2019ve seen these faces that you\u2019d love. Don&#8217;t get carried away, she says, before hanging up and reminding me of my function: I mustn\u2019t forget to buy her the silk handkerchief she asked me for.<\/p>\n<p>I also wanted to tell Marina that I really wanted to talk to her.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;4532&#8243;
