Last Night's Dreams
I woke up with a palpable sense of desperation today. In the dream I woke up from I was in a gypsy cab in the Bronx with “Emma,” a childhood friend I haven’t seen in about 20 years and “Monica,” a friend of a friend. It was daytime, I had the feeling I had been up all night and we were driving in an area that resembled Jerome Ave, but I couldn’t get my bearings....
Lo que está pa' ti, ta' pa' ti.
dominicanidioms:
Literal translation: what’s for you is for you
Meaning: no one will take away what is meant for you . This is a reference to the belief in destiny and that one should not fret about losing something or someone.
Significado: “lo que está para ti, está para ti”: nadie le quitará lo que en verdad le pertenece. Señala una creencia en el destino.
Use: colloquial, urban
