"Solo en sueños, en poesía, en el juego a veces llegamos a lo que éramos antes de ser esta cosa que, quién sabe, somos"
— Julio Cortazar

Simplified Meaning:
When we dream, write poetry, or play, we can feel like our true selves, different from who we think we are in everyday life. These activities let us tap into a deeper, more pure part of ourselves. For example, think about a child playing. They don't worry about being judged and just enjoy the moment. As adults, we often lose this sense of freedom because we are busy with responsibilities and expectations. By dreaming, writing, or playing, we can reconnect with that carefree and genuine part of us. This idea suggests that it's important to make time for creative activities to remember and experience our true essence.
