Y así, sucede a menudo que al fin y al cabo todos podemos tener dos vidas, bien diferentes la una de la otra. La primera es la nuestra, la que nos es familiar, aquella a la que nos aferramos o detestamos cordialmente, y la segunda es aquella que se nos otorga, fantasiosa e irreal, a través de los ojos de quien nos observa calladamente y nos juzga dignos de su mirada.

And so, it frequently occurs that all of us can have two lives, eventually. The first one is our own life, the one that is familiar to us, the life to which we desperately cling or heartedly despise, and the second one is the life that is given to us, a fancy, unreal life, through the eyes of someone who quietly observes, considering that we are worth his or her look.
