Using psychology to deepen your writing

I’ve long been fascinated by psychology and what it has to say about the possible variations in human behavior. I considered a double-major in psychology while I was in college but eventually decided to pursue other interests instead.

y las lagrimas, y las caidas
las costras y los arañazos…
quien me cambiaba los pañales
de tela, [...]
