"You're brave enough to follow your passion no matter what people might say. That's true style."

"I know you're scared right now. Maybe you miss someone, maybe your heart hurts a little. Or a lot. Or maybe you're not quite sure of who you are or what you want but that feeling you want back, the one where it doesn't seem like the whole world is against you, it's still here. It never really left. And one day you will realise that the only person who can find it again is you."

"Remember that you are young, beautiful, individual and unique and that is worth everything in this world."

Enough!

I know things might seem impossible to change. Like you can't escape the way you're feeling right now. It's like you're in a fucking cage and you just can't seem to be able to get out. I really do know. Everyday I wake up and, although I feel numb, empty inside, somehow I find the strenght to get up and do all the things I gotta do. But that's not enough! I have to try harder. I know that even if you give your best to be strong every single day that goes by, you still let some negativity get to your thoughts. But that's over. No more negativity. I will feel hope, faith, wonder and beauty again. I will feel alive. I am stronger than anything that gets thrown my way. It can take a while but I know I can do this. I know I'm not the only one feeling like this in the world so we'll do this together. Let's just live one day at a time. I'm ready to go back to the girl I'm meant to be. I'm gonna fight this darkness. And I'm going to win. What about you? 

I know I came to this world to have the courage to pursue my dreams and leave a mark no one can leave for me. Just follow my example. Find some inspiration. There's a lot of things, we're just not paying attention. There's music, and people, and places...You have to believe. We are gonna get through this.

Prepare to be fearless, to be the change you want to see in the world. Put who you are in every single thing you do. 

"Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. So Imma get stronger." 

Press/Society

There's some things in this world that I just can't understand. This is one of them.

Mostly when you are a teenager you have this tendency to "follow". You're afraid to be who you are, you don't think who you are is good enough or you just have no idea of who you are.

But some people are not afraid to be who they are, to fight for what they want and say what they have to say not caring what others think about that. They end up showing everyone that they've got their own light. 

You should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to bring those people down. You are making others afraid of being who they are too. Because the example you're giving is that they are going to be judged. And unfortunately I have to agree with them. Not because I will judge them. But because you will.

It doesn't matter what happens to me after tonight 'cause now I'm completely sure that 

I belong with you guys somehow.

"Hear with your heart, 

see with your soul, 

be guided by a hand that you cannot hold, 

and trust even if you cannot see."

"Don't be afraid to fail. 

Be afraid not to try."

Crónica - Viagem no Tempo

As viagens no tempo são algo bastante frequente nas vidas de todos nós. Durante todo o nosso percurso existem alguns momentos em que nos transportamos entre o passado e o presente e temos tendência para nos agarrarmos a memórias e a acontecimentos que nos marcaram mas que jamais voltarão. No entanto, existem outros tipos menos frequentes deste género de travessia.  Para que melhor percebam o que quero dizer com isto, dou-vos como exemplo o retrocesso temporal visado na tentativa de assumirmos outras personalidades pertencentes a indivíduos de gerações anteriores e observarmos o presente através dos seus olhos. É isso que vou agora tentar produzir e talvez vos consiga sensibilizar a tentarem fazer o mesmo.

O modo de vida que é visível nos dias de hoje é completamente diferente do existente à diversos anos atrás. À já algum tempo, pessoas como a minha mãe ou os meus avós foram obrigados a crescer muito depressa. Desde uma tenra idade começaram a trabalhar arduamente para poderem sobreviver e tiveram que deixar para trás coisas importantes como a sua educação. Nunca tiveram sequer qualquer perspectiva de crescer a sonhar, a imaginar, a desejar poderem alcançar os seus sonhos e, na minha opinião, essas são partes essenciais da nossa existência pois ajudam-nos a decifrar quem somos, o que queremos ser, os objectivos que queremos alcançar.

Tendo em conta todas estas características de uma geração passada, penso que naturalmente conseguimos perceber que o que vemos nos dias de hoje é algo completamente diferente. A nossa sociedade é uma sociedade de consumo. Considera como bens essenciais roupas de marca, objectos tecnológicos, entre todo o tipo de tendências que seja possível seguir. Mas o mais grave nem é isso. É não saber dar valor a tudo aquilo que tem. Apesar de todas as dificuldades presentes no nosso dia-a-dia, os jovens da geração a que pertenço tiveram oportunidades que para muitos não passaram de fantasias.

Apesar de ter noção que estamos perante uma grande crise económica que cada vez mais se sente na pele, acredito que devemos manter o positivismo e, acima de tudo, devemos começar por aprender a valorizar o que realmente importa. Se todos nós nos dermos ao trabalho de tentar ver a nossa vida com outros olhos, iremos finalmente reparar que, comparadamente com muitas das pessoas das quais descendemos, temos milhões de oportunidades neste mundo. Porém, para que nos seja possível ver isso, é preciso acreditar e lutar com toda a nossa garra pelos nossos sonhos. Principalmente agora. Não podemos estar sentados à espera que alguma coisa nos caia do céu. É preciso ter esperança que venham dias melhores. Está na hora de também nós nos tornarmos adultos. Quando lutarmos não o estaremos a fazer unicamente por nós mas tendo também no pensamento todos os que não puderam usufruir das suas ambições e desejos. Ainda vão a tempo de mudar o rumo das vossas vidas e talvez um dia sejam os vossos filhos a viajar no tempo, a relembrarem com orgulho a vossa história e a seguirem o vosso exemplo.

I don't fit in

I don't fit in. I don't belong with this people. I know that. But even though I don't mind it as long as I get to be myself, sometimes I get kind of lonely. 'Cause once in a while everyone needs someone that understands you and has an opinion that's close to the one you have and most of the time I feel like I'm a fucking unicorn or an alien 'cause others have this tendency to always think and have an opinion completely different than mine. Nowadays teenagers don't even know what having standards means! For them that doesn't matter at all. What matters is to have the most expensive stuff, go to the best clubs, make fun of people that somehow are different, run away from any kind of responsability and hanging out with the coolest girls and boys around. They're shallow, mean...and seem to be incapable of any kind act. That's not who I wanna be.

Today I was really happy to see that there's someone in the world that's actually kind of like me.  And now I don't even care if nobody else comes up. Because suddently I didn't feel so alone anymore.

"People will hate you, rate you, shake you and break you. But how strong you stand is what makes you."

"Sometimes quiet people have a lot to say but they just don't open up to anybody."

You be de judge

"Aquela feiosa tem mesmo ar de quem anda a ouvir atrás das portas!"

What the hell is wrong with this world??

"(...) But at the end of the day who you are is totally and completely up to you."

One day

"Maybe not today, 
                              or tomorrow, 
                                                    or even in a year, 

                                                                             but eventually things will turn up, you will get better and be able to look back and say with relief: I made it!"

Six billion people

"At this moment there are 6 470 818 671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good and some are good struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls and sometimes...all you need is one."

                                - One Tree Hill

You're gonna change the world someday

"Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up but there's a day when you realize that you're not just a survivor. You're a warrior. You're tougher than anything it throws your way."

                                                                                                              - Brooke Davis

"And one day we will say that all the crap that led us here was worth the moment when everything made sense."

Life's hard

Life is very very hard and there will be times when you're going to struggle. There will be times when you won't know what to do. You'll feel completely lost and hopeless and you'll just want to give up. All of it. But you have to be strong because the best things in life come with work, effort and faith. 

Don't give up. Because one day you'll be very proud you didn't.

Nothing Like Us

Lately I've been thinkin',
Thinkin' bout what we had,
I know it was hard,
It was all that we knew, yeah

Have you been drinkin'
To take all the pain away?
I wish that I could give you what you deserve...

'Cause nothing can ever,
Ever replace you.
Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah.
You know there's no one
I can relate to.
And know we won't find a love that's so true...
There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together, oh

I gave you everything, baby,
Everything I had to give.
Girl, why would you push me away, yeah?
Lost in confusion,
Like an illusion,
You know I'm used to making your day...

But that is the past now,
We didn't last now,I guess that this is meant to be, yeah...
Tell me, was it worth it?
We were so perfect.
But, baby, I just want you to see...

There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together, oh...
