Doubt thou... By RoCueto Watch

The title refers to the fact that I felt certain interest about the way my favourite Shakespeare quote was so well used in this song by this new artist I had found, so I went to learn a bit about her...



And I fell in love. Deep, zealousl, passionate, earl grey-flavoured platonic love.



So when I heard she was finally coming to México, something I had given for granted would never happen, I was euphoric. Days later when I found out I could win a chance to meet her, well, I was demented.

When my brain came back into function I knew I only had three days to compete and did everything I had to do in order to make sure I was to meet her, from getting short-run magazines from the confines of forgotten storage-rooms, to finding an impossible-to-find-in-Mexico CD and staying from 6 to 10 on a street floor in front of a house decorated with creepy dog-gargoyle things looking at me during the day of a violent syndical overrun of the city.



So when all that was said and done, and I had guaranteed I was gonna meet the one person in this world whom I love more than I love anyone, even myself, I knew I had to do something for her, to give her a portion of my heart as a token of my gratitude for all the wonderfull emotions her music has inspired on me, so with a week's time till the concert I vowed to spend every free second of my days on making this my best piece. A day before the concert, at 7pm, it was ready, two beautiful canvas prints, one for her with all my heart, and the twin one for her to sign for me to treasure as my precious.



Then came the day, we (myself and three more muffins) got to meet her, and I have to say I expected a lot from her and yet was blown away by how much nicer and sweeter of a person she actually is. And when I showed her the painting... I swear for the first time in my entire life I feel that I haven't wasted all these years of devotion, love and frustration I've spent trying to become a good painter, her smile made it all undeniably worth it.



I had never said "I love you" to anyone and really meant it this much ever before, and I have to say it's the most liberating emotion I have ever felt.



I love you Emilie.
