Querido 2012,
Sei que hoje não é o último dia do ano, mas falta pouco.
Mais um ano passou, mais um ano vem de novo.
Para muitos não é nada de novo, para outros é uma oportunidade.
Só queria dizer que 2012 foi certamente um ano muito bom e positivo.
Tanto desejei para 2012 ser o meu ano "sim" que consegui! E estou aqui toda entusiasmada porque correu tal e qual como queria.
Sim, perdi um amigo. Sim, houve acontecimentos que não correram tão bem como pensava. Sim, existiram dias que não foram os mais positivos de sempre. Apesar de tudo, estou aqui para continuar a sorrir e para resolver todas as questões que ainda não foram respondidas.
Apesar de tudo, venci aquilo que me atormentou durante algum tempo e vi com olhos de ver. Senti aquilo que ainda não tinha sentido. Aprendi muito, isso posso dizer. Aprendi tanto sobre "coisas" inexplicáveis e totalmente diferentes. Aprendi a sorrir o máximo que posso. Aprendi a fechar os olhos mas com uma condição: abri-los logo para não perder nada do que está ao meu redor. Aprendi tanto sobre aquilo que é grandioso e que todos questionam e sobre o que é pequeno e que não passa de pormenor. Aprendi também sobre todos e especialmente, aprendi sobre mim e sobre as minhas capacidades. Claro que para aprender tudo, aconteceram erros. Só com os erros é que se aprende profundamente. E este ano, já não errei e apenas dediquei-me à aprendizagem, a uma comunicação sólida, ainda insegura. Dediquei-me a questionar e a voltar a questionar, sem encontrar respostas. Dediquei-me a querer, desejar e sonhar, sem obter o final.
Para tudo o que ficou incompleto, será este ano novo. Será 2013.
Portanto eu acredito: se 2012 foi muito bom, não há razões para 2013 ser mau.
Pelo contrário, 2013 irá ser ainda melhor. Vou ser ainda mais segura, vou encontrar as respostas às minhas perguntas e sim, vou obter aquilo que quero. Mais uma vez: vou voltar a aprender.
Feliz ano novo a todos ♥

Fragile Eyes.
She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her
eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to
know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think
you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river of blood. She
only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped, and you fell. All
your tomorrows start here.

I'm lost, I'm lost.
You cross my mind, a lot. More times than I like to
admit; you seem to have taken up permanent residence, making your home
in the deepest corners of my mind. And sometimes I get caught up in my
head, I’ll lose myself in the colour of your eyes - even in my head I’m
helpless - and I have to remind myself to breathe.

Dear Adolescents...
Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things
will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched
Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a
Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski
poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy
Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your
hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t
Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that
comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely
quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always
shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will
have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late
won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes
your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything
will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no
divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully
experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life
will feel like a Coppola film.

After all, smile.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the
appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a
bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you
have lived. This is to have succeeded.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are losers.
Maybe the truth is, there’s a little bit of loser in
all of us. Being happy isn’t having everything in your life be perfect.
Maybe it’s about stringing together all the little things.

Believe at all.
I remember I would not stand still; I would not stop
being perplexed by everything that spontaneously attracted me or caught
my attention. I would never cease to look around me and observe myself
in relation to nature: either crystal clear skies and sun-melting
afternoons, or foggy winter days and weirdly tinted nights. I would
never cease to dream and stand by the window, ready to let the diversity
of life pass freely through my skin; courageous enough to believe I
stood a chance in devouring each shade of sensation. Or perhaps,
immensely foolish to plainly - believe at all.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong
decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world
want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I
came from because I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?

What's platonic, anyway...
It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really
that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So,
you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and
what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.
| — | Jack Kerouac |
Isn’t It Pretty To Think So?
See, I’m the worst breed of human. Let me
explain. Some people are dead inside. They go through life knowing this,
and they manage fine enough, because, well, they’re dead inside. They
aren’t bitter because they don’t care enough to change. They just try to
get by with the things they can control. Others live in the fucking
clouds, watch romantic comedies, and dream about everything being
perfect one day. These people are always fine because they have an
everlasting well of hope inside them, and no matter what happens they’ll
just romanticize their existence.
But when it comes to me…I’m someone who’s mostly dead inside but still has a little hope for something extraordinary, which, as I said, is the worst breed of human, because it means that I know everything is bullshit, but that I secretly hope for the day when it might not be. The tension makes me wish I were just completely dead inside. It would makes things much easier for me.

We Will Hurt Each Other.
We just have to open ourselves up to the truth: we
will hurt each other, often. Life is crazy beautiful, but it is crazy
and sometimes spins out of control. And that’s okay. That’s how it
should be. It’s okay to lose the grip, to slip a little. Because we all
do and maybe that makes it easier to forgive one another — people will
disappoint you and wrong you, but they will also defend you and fight
for you and bowl you over with kindness. We are all such radiant fuckups
— we have to remember this and love one another for it. And even when
it seems impossible, we have to be good to one another, to extend an
open hand, to try to bring the light back in to illuminate the darkness.

Think.
It was curious to think that the sky was the same
for everybody. And the people under the sky were also very much the same
- everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of
people just like this, people ignorant of one another existence, held
apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same -
people who had never learned to think but were storing up in their
hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the
world.

Monday... What a really nice day.
I know today is Monday and you assume it’s going to
suck, but according to statistics, there will be over 5,000 weddings,
10,000 childbirths, and 42 million hugs occurring today throughout the
United States. Also today, there will be at least 4 people that will win
the multimillion dollar lotteries, 600 people will get promotions at
work, and 3,000 people will lose their virginity. There will also be 600
dogs adopted, 35,000 balloons sold, and 800,000 skittles eaten. Plus,
the words “I love you” will be said over 9 million times. So again, I
know today is Monday and you assume it’s going to suck, but just smile,
because according to statistics, it should actually be a really nice
day.

You have to let go.
No matter how many times I tell you this, you’re
still thinking, thinking, judging, coming to conclusions, trying to work
out your life. You have to let go. Totally, absolutely, completely.

Don't be too lazy to think.
“There is no such thing as a person. There are only
restrictions and limitations. The sum total of these defines the person.
You think you know yourself when you know what you are. But you never
know who you are. The person merely appears to be, like the space within
the pot appears to have the shape and volume and smell of the pot. See
that you are not what you believe yourself to be. Fight with all the
strength at your disposal against the idea that you are nameable and
describable. You are not. Refuse to think of yourself in terms of this
or that. There is no other way out of misery, which you have created for
yourself through blind acceptance without investigation. Suffering is a
call for enquiry, all pain needs investigation. Don’t be too lazy to
think.”

The Unicorn Diaries.
She loved the arts, music, paints, nature. Hans
Christian Anderson, Van Gogh, Tchaikovsky. They were her favourites. She
loved Tchaikovsky because he made his sadness into warmth, Sleeping
Beauty, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Symphony No.6. She loved Vincent
because she felt his loneliness in his paintings. But she couldn’t look
at his sunflowers for too long, the yellows stung her eyes. Feeling too
much Feeling is too much sometimes. She told me how she thought it was
weird you know, that all these people who created such beautiful things
were so sad. How sometimes the sadness was so strong that they ended
their own lives. Their last work of art.
She said she thought that most geniuses were lonely. I said I thought everyone was lonely. That even the Moon is lonely, and that’s why it pulls on the tides.

Don't forget your dreams.
He asked why people are sad. “That’s simple,” says
the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone
believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask
if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They
accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people’s ideas, and it
is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget
their dreams.

Being a Wallflower.
So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons.
And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the
power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from
there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

That's it.
I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or
love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few
times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was
exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were,
but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two
separate beings to hinge together.
― Lisa Kleypas
What's left to be afraid of?
Because being scared doesn’t help you. Reality is
uglier and harsher than anything we like to admit to ourselves, and yet
it’s pointless to be scared since your fear will not protect you. Fear
is only useful if it alerts you of a danger you can avoid, but if
there’s no possible way to avoid it, if it’s inevitable that it’ll crush
you no matter how hard you fight, then what’s the point of being
afraid? If you have no hope of survival, what’s left to be afraid of?

The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy.
By contemplating the impermanence of everything in
the world, we are forced to recognize that every time we do something
could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the
things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be
absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.

Trust your instincts.
“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even
close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the
same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast
food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more
you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about
their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like
“Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to
say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or
“What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to
that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and
the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the
same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on
conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle.
Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts.
Do the unexpected. Find the others.”
| — | Timothy Leary |

Phases.
“I go through phases. Somedays I feel like the

and all I am are darkened lines, you still are willing to be near me.”

When.
However she is, drunk or sober, she thinks of life and death. Day or night. Sad or happy. She thinks of her life, of her mission here on earth and how it will be her future and destiny. She thinks of her death too. How it will be. Hard or easy, painful or peaceful. But especially, when. When will everything end.

responsible. I forget I’m responsible, but I am. I told you there’s no
escape.

Muitos falam e nada dizem.
Palavras.
Com tanta variedade e escolha, não sei o que dizer.
Palavras.
Podem ter o seu encanto.
Muitas vezes, não.
Não se chama ódio.
Simplesmente não gosto quando usam as palavras de certa forma.
Quando são palavras que transmitem sensações.
Ou quando não transmitem nada e são gastas.
Ditas em vão.
Palavras.
Sem sentido.
Comunicar.
Esse acto de "comunicar" apenas devia ser com os olhos.

Apenas com o brilho dos olhos.

The reason you're here.
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from
that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you
with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason
you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to
be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed,
or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple
tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting
their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”

You are the only one.
“No one else has access to the world you carry
around within yourself; you are its custodian and entrance. No one else
can see the world the way you see it. No one else can feel your life the
way you feel it. Thus it is impossible to ever compare two people
because each stands on such different ground. When you compare yourself
to others, you are inviting envy into your consciousness; it can be a
dangerous and destructive guest.”

Autumn Gold
“Of all seasons, give me the Autumn, the leaf. In
the early hours, I, an old lover in love with the woods, go forth to
listen to their undersong and pause, half expectant, waiting to hear
unimagined music. Nor do I wholly wait in vain, for the air thrills with
a mystical Benediction. The tragic tangle of our life lies far away.
The golden chestnuts yonder, that crest the rising hills, are
transfigured in the Joy of the morning. I walk through the land of the
poets, and breathe the fragrance of its carpet of fallen leaves. At such
a moment who is so blind as not to see above the Amaranth heights of
Earth, a phantome tracery beyond! And when the red sunshine kindles upon
the Garden of Eden, a mist sheen floats in the radiant distance—as it
were the incense of Peace and sweet remembrance … and the loves of
by-gone days.”

Tudo me interessa.
“E assim sou, fútil e sensível, capaz de impulsos
violentos e absorventes, maus e bons, nobres e vis, mas nunca de um
sentimento que subsista, nunca de uma emoção que continue, e entre para a
substância da alma. Tudo em mim é a tendência para ser a seguir outra
coisa: uma impaciência da alma consigo mesma, como com uma criança
inoportuna; um desassossego sempre crescente e sempre igual.
Tudo me interessa e nada me prende.
Atendo a tudo sonhando sempre; fixo os mínimos gestos faciais de com quem falo, recolho as entoações milimétricas dos seus dizeres expressos; mas ao ouvi-lo, não o escuto, estou pensando noutra coisa, e o que menos colhi da conversa foi a noção do que nela se disse, da minha parte ou da parte de com quem falei.
Assim, muitas vezes, repito a alguém o que já lhe repeti, pergunto-lhe de novo aquilo a que ele já me respondeu; mas posso descrever, em quatro palavras fotográficas, o semblante muscular com que ele disse o que me não lembra, ou a inclinação de ouvir com os olhos com que recebeu a narrativa que me não recordava ter-lhe feito. Sou dois, e ambos têm a distância — irmãos siameses que não estão pegados.”

Speak.
I know my head isn’t screwed on straight. I want to
leave, transfer, warp myself to another galaxy. I want to confess
everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else.
There is a beast in my gut, I can hear it scraping away at the inside of
my ribs. Even if I dump the memory, it will stay with me, staining me.
My closest is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these
thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them.

Windows.
“We should breathe, dream and lengthen out the hours
by the infinity of sensations. So love everything even if it is not
exactly real: water and clouds, night and silence, the vast green sea;
the formless and multiform water; the place where you shall never be;
the lover whom you shall never know; unnatural flowers, odors which make
men drunk; the cats that languish upon pianos and sob like women, with
hoarse sweet voices! For I think to myself: What does it matter, what
does any reality outside of myself matter, if it has helped me to live,
to feel that I am, and what I am?”

Simples Sensações.
A natureza sobrepõe-se à felicidade. Porque é a natureza, ela própria, que nos faz feliz. Que nos dá felicidade. É o vento. É a terra. É a água. São as mais pequenas coisas. Simples sensações. Isso dá-nos felicidade de um tal modo que mata. Que dói. Que te enche o coração ao máximo e parece que vai explodir. Que tal sensação única. Acredito que seja a felicidade. É o vento a bater, a velocidade, a paisagem da natureza, o brilho das suas cores, a frescura de tudo... Uma paz tremenda. Logo, a natureza e simples sensações dão-nos felicidade. Enchem-nos o coração de tal forma. E o mal vai embora. É simples. Basta viver. Basta estar vivo.

The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain
There is no god, no universe, no human race, no
earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and
foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a
vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering
forlorn among the empty eternities.

The Waves, Virginia Woolf.
I see nothing. We may sink and settle on the waves. The sea will drum in my ears. The white petals will be darkened with sea water. They will float for a moment and then sink. Rolling over the waves will shoulder me under. Everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving me.

Minds.
It’s beautiful when you find someone that is in love with your mind.
Someone that wants to undress your conscience and make love to your
thoughts. Someone that wants to watch you slowly take down all the walls
you’ve built up around your mind and let them inside.

Our lives are waves.
Our lives are waves that come up out of the ocean
of eternity, break upon the beach of earth, and lapse back to the ocean
of eternity. Some are sunlit, some run in storm and rain; one is a
quiet ripple, another is a thunderous breaker; and once in many
centuries comes a great tidal wave that sweeps over a continent; but all
go back to the sea and lie equally level there.

The Power of Now
Use your senses fully. Be where you are. Look
around. Just look, don’t interpret. See the light, shapes, colors,
textures. Be aware of the silent presence of each thing. Be aware of the
space that allows everything to be. Listen to the sounds; don’t judge
them. Listen to the silence underneath the sounds. Touch something -
anything - and feel and acknowledge its Being. Observe the rhythm of
your breathing; feel the air flowing in and out, feel the life energy
inside your body. Allow everything to be, within and without. Allow the
“isness” of all things. Move deeply into the Now.

Rest In Peace, my good friend.
"A vida é injusta." É a frase que só esta manhã ouvi, li, pensei, pensaram e disseram imensas vezes. A vida é aquilo, a vida é uma passagem, a vida ponto e mais qualquer coisa. É uma pena, é uma perda.
Na verdade, não é a vida que me choca, mas sim a morte. A morte é que aparece quando menos esperamos. A morte é que põe um fim à nossa passagem, ao nosso destino e nos prega estas partidas. Fiquei totalmente estranha, triste e mal disposta quando descobri um falecimento de um amigo/colega de turma meu. Um amigo que ainda há poucas horas estava com um sorriso na cara, com vontade de viver, com sonhos para o futuro, com uma energia enorme e uma alegria contagiosa. Uma espécie de pessoa que nunca pára, que todos conhecem. Uma pessoa que apesar de tudo o que dizia, nos fazia sorrir e rir, porque era mesmo assim. Foi algo chocante de saber.
Que tinha sido as últimas aulas com ele. Que nada mais irá ser o mesmo. E questões como "Porquê?" ficam a flutuar na cabeça de todos.
Talvez ele já tinha uma vida tão completa, que teve de partir. Talvez ele já tinha vivido tudo e sabia de como isto da vida era, que teve de partir. São sugestões. São afirmações inquietas que me passam pela cabeça e soam-me mal. Se é assim, então que seja. Mas para todos. Mas é a lei da vida e disso eu não percebo. Apenas questiono.
O que apenas quero é paz. Seja o que seja depois da morte, que seja paz. Porque descansar, só em paz. E todos lhe desejam isso. Descansa em paz, Luís.

Este Verão foi a valer.
Eu acho que é praticamente isso que tenho a dizer.
As minhas férias... foram as melhores.
Sempre com um sorriso na cara, sempre com vontade de comunicar, sempre positiva, sempre a admirar o brilho do sol, sempre pronta a ajudar, sempre aqui.
Mudei também um bocado a forma de ser, mas não a forma de pensar.
Reparei também que tudo muda. Ou para melhor ou para pior.
Mas pronto, só queria aqui deixar a prova de como gostei deste belo Verão, desta bela amargura, destes belos pensamentos que sempre me acompanharam (e não deviam) entre imensos outros momentos e situações que marcaram.
Ah, e também gostaria de dizer que vou começar este ano lectivo em grande porque assim deve ser. Já conheci imensa gente nova e vou conhecer mais porque eu sei que vou. Vou tentar gostar de abraços, porque eu não gosto de abraços e eu tenho de gostar.
Também prometo ser mais querida e fofinha para o meu Milk, o meu gatinho mais lindo, o meu peludinho de pêlo branco como a neve.
Desculpem não estar a postar muito aqui no meu blog, não tenho tido paciência e imaginação para tal mas pronto, é o resultado das férias. Durante o meu período de aulas, também pouco devo postar, mas fiquem à espera, eu volto sempre!
Um beijinho a todos ♡

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own
reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love
is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are
taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if
they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide
their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio.
You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you
carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a
part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide
them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up
for your right to feel your pain.”
