Details In The Fabric
I'm really trying to figure out a way to make time run by instead of jut pass by. We all know how it feels to be kind of pointless, or even course less. Like we have nothing to hold on to or nowhere to go. It's silly to think about the places we go as life changers, but really, they are. Everywhere we go, everyone we know, everything we feel, that is different to what we're used to, affects us, somehow. Sometimes, we learn things, we take good pieces from that, but other times, it can destroy us instead, it has a way to take things from us instead of contributing with what we already have. I think of some people and all I can say is that they took a lot from me and gave me nothing in return, I go through situations in my days that teach me nothing but grieve and sorrow, until finally, I feel some things that lead me nowhere and show me what I'd rather not see. How can I explain stuff like these? How can I let that happen or even better, how can I stop it from happening? Do I shut myself in and expect that nothing will ever change me? Could I pretend nothing is changing me while I’m actually going through transformations I don't want to? I can't answer any of that and it's been my source of most frustration. Do you know how it feels to want to forget about everything, live on your own and not pay attention to any of the signs around you? Have you ever thought about locking everybody out and learning from yourself and no one else? Wouldn't it be great if we could do it? This is how time runs by. When I’m alone, trying to shake things over, trying to understand what makes me desperate or maybe reminiscing over lost moments. That's when time decides to be unfair, that's when I can't notice the minutes or the tears wasted. Otherwise, the seconds drag by, pointing out the difficulties of sharing too much or too little, pointing out the troubles I can get myself in once I let people in, showing me how I go nowhere when I depend too much on someone. It sucks. I need to learn how to live with myself and on my own as sad as it seems to be, as difficult as it sounds. It’s ok to feel these things, unusual, but ok. We all go through inner crises sometimes and we all have the power to get ourselves out of them. So I guess today is just a bad day, or this hour is a bad hour. Maybe I’ll feel better in 10 minutes or maybe it will take a few days. It doesn’t matter how long these crises take but how often they strike us. Those are the worst moments we can go through, but on the other hand, it’s when we learn the most about what we have inside.

Life is easy when it's cheesy
The other day, Willem, my adorable Dutch friend, told me that sometimes it seems like I live in a Grey’s Anatomy episode and that hearing about it was as addicting as watching the show. I found that particularly hilarious until I started thinking about it. Was it because the situations I usually go through are extremely absurd or because I’m such a drama queen? I mean, there are moments of my days that I feel like Meredith Grey, or others that I feel like Carrie Bradshaw out of Sex and the City, or even like Ugly Betty.
It’s funny when you start thinking that your life would be a huge hit if ABC started shooting it and displaying it to thousands of people. Hey, I’m not being shallow here I just think that maybe, everyone has their
So… Although I would love to find my McDreamy, I rather face the facts and realize that I do not live inside a TV show and that life moves as we walk and it changes as we talk.

Why are we all so naive?
| 1. | having or showing unaffected simplicity of nature or absence of artificiality; unsophisticated;ingenuous. |
| 2. | having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; credulous: She's so naive she believes everything she reads. He has a very naive attitude toward politics. |
| 3. | having or marked by a simple, unaffectedly direct style reflecting little or no formal training or technique: valuable naive 19th-century American portrait paintings. |
| 4. | not having previously been the subject of a scientific experiment, as an animal. Pra mim, a palavra naive ou em português,ingênuo/a, pode ser aplicada a muitas situações. Às vezes agimos com ingenuidade e levamos anos para percebermos. No amor, na política, no colégio, na família, enfim, sempre que caímos em alguma armadilha ao acreditar em quem não merece credibilidade, podendo essa pessoa ser nós mesmos. É estranho pensar assim e podem me chamar de cética, mas creio mesmo nessa teoria e quem sabe, estou sendo muito ingênua ao fazê-lo. Em todo caso, a ingenuidade não é só para os desprevinidos. Pelo contrário, continuamos agindo ingenuamente após várias experiências em uma única situação. Por exemplo, aquela sua amiga que vive caindo nas conversinhas de "Don Juans" e nunca aprende nada com as lágrimas que chora após ter seu coração partido. Aquela filha que acredita sempre que o pai só vem para vê-la. Ou então, aqueles pais que são cegados pelos atos dos filhos inconsequentes. É sempre assim... Quando achamos que sabemos muito do assunto, quebramos a cara mais tarde ao vermos que mais uma vez, fomos pegos pela senhora ingenuidade. Chato isso né? Mas pense... quantas vezes ao dia você dá uma de Chapéuzinho Vermelho caindo nas garras do Lobo Mau? "Poxa, mas que visão pessimista menina!" Não é pessimismo, é só uma tentativa de não ser tão ingênua quanto estou fadada a ser. Já virou uma filosofia de vida mas eu seria ingênua se acreditasse que vou sempre segui-la. Cansei de escrever a palavra "ingênua" e seus derivados e isso é, ao que me parece, o fim dessa postagem. Só um último pensamento por hoje e ai eu me retiro: Ser ingênuo não é o maior problema... o maior problema e não saber, ou não querer lidar com as consequências de tudo isso! |
