O grande ão

Há um ano—12 meses—52 semanas—365 dias—um monte de horas—enfim, um tempo, em que minha vida mudou. Comemorei um ano de trabalho “novo”. 13 de setembro. Que loucura. Dizem que pequenas escolhas diárias nos levam a um ano drasticamente diferente. Eu acreditava que quem dizia isto não entendia o fenômeno humano chamado “procrastinação”. Não procrastina? Feliz

Fairytales

Life is all about dreams. At least that’s what I used to believe. “Sonhadora” says my mom. “Dreamer”. I used to be that. In some cases, maybe I still am… but somewhere along the lines things changed. Fairytales aren’t real, nor did I ever believe they were, but I believed in pieces. Now, I don’t

Understanding Fiction

Understanding has always been a fine-tuned skill of mine. It’s all a type of logic. Understanding exact systems, like math, is easiest; there are set rules.

I used to think of it as this cliched theory people used to feel better about themselves. Something inside myself just truly believed

Bliss and Loss

At times it’s all consuming. The feelings of bliss and loss bound into one nondescript emotion. Knowing, but being so desperately far away from the knowledge. Profound happiness disconnected from its source, yet existing nonetheless. It’s suffocating. A blinding fog. Simply being aware. Only seeing what is immediately in front. That’s how we all are.

House of Cards

I look out the window and feel the world all in one yet I feel so lonely in this house of cards that will fall down on me with any wrong step I take. I feel the breath of another and his happiness laying on my shoulders yet it’s too much weight for such a

Alice

I’m falling down the rabbit hole, feeling waves of myself growing yet shrinking. At times I feel empowered, larger than life; nothing can get in my way. Other times I feel lonely, weak, disoriented, confused; so small that I’m just a sliver of my own soul. As I fall the tears roll down, becoming a
