Coffee High
AbstractA rose. Delicate. Strong. Symbolic. As I dive–or fall?–into this vat of… roses? I no longer know–I lose myself. Or find myself? There are no thorns. They’re lovely. Yet I still fall… Dive? It’s sometimes all-consuming. I miss the contortion high of caffeine. But it was never mine to miss. Or was it? Oh to

O grande ão
Casa NovaHá 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
Love . UncategorizedLife is all about dreams. At least that’s what I used to believe. “Sonhadora” says my mom. “Dreamer”. I used to be that.

Learning to Care for Myself
UncategorizedToday I choose myself. My wants and dreams. My goals. My hobbies. Today I wake up with hope beyond my imagination for reasons none other than I’m learning what loving myself means. 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
UncategorizedAt 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
Abstract . LoveI 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
