Foi burrice da minha parte achar que poderia voltar a estar contigo. Foi burrice da minha parte achar que poderia voltar a partilhar os meus medos contigo. Quando recebi a tua resposta foi um sentimento de alivio. Nada de bom viria de nos encontrarmos novamente. Estupidamente pensava-me capaz de superar a prova. O meu coração apenas se iria partir novamente. Mas ao mesmo tempo senti pena por não poder falar contigo como antigamente. Porque nada é como antes. Gostava de voltar a ouvir as tuas palavras e de sentir o conforto que elas me davam quando eu era invadida por todas as dúvidas sobre as minha capacidades. E tu acreditavas em mim e davas-me força. Mas a verdade é que ainda dói, mais do que devia, após este tempo todo. E ainda não te consigo desejar felicidades. Talvez seja egoísta da minha parte, mas não consigo e apesar de nunca te ter tido, no fim ficaste com um pedaço de mim que ainda não consegui recuperar.
Nervosa e ansiosa. Com o que pode correr mal, com o que pode correr bem. Comigo, com o que consigo aguentar...ou não. Com a lembrança das palavras de quem me conhece e acredita em mim e na minha capacidade, na minha força. Com o futuro e todas as expectativas que o rodeiam, com o passado e as pessoas que vão fazer parte dele. Com a necessidade de levar o coração leve e a alma livre. Com medo de não conseguir. Com medo de conseguir. Ansiosa por ir perceber como é viver com o meu irmão. Ansiosa por ir aprender com ele algo que ainda me falta perceber. Necessidade de escrever por não poder falar com a pessoa que me poderia compreender. Medo de dar o primeiro passo e não saber onde vou parar com o passo seguinte.
You have hurt me more than i thought possible. Maybe it is just bruised ego or the words of a scorned woman, but i can't wish you well. I don't think i wish harm either but i am hurt and angry with you and so...not wishing you happiness is the first bitchy thing i have ever allowed me to do. It isn't something i do often and you know it, i allways reason with myself. But not this time. I miss our all day and all night conversations, i miss you in my bed, our baths together and our walks through the city. Funny thing is i allways said that this would happen if i ever fell in love with someone else, you thought we would still be friends. I didn't know i was already in love with you and then you fell in love and i knew it, even if you weren't sure enough to tell me, I knew and it isn't funny. Probably i will wish you to be happy sometime, but it is taking me longer than i expected. For now i remain yours truly bitchy ex-affair.
My mind doesn't stop...ever. I'm having a hard time falling asleep for thinking too much. I think of the things i have to do, the things i wish i could do, i think about you, i think about the present and the past, i think about my inexistant job and about the choices that soon i will have to make, i think about the rain and the sun and the weather over all, i think about the things i did today and the ones i wanna do tomorrow, i think about the movie i saw tonight and this afternoons soundtrack, i think about all the conversations that keep me moving, i think about life and my lack of life, about the partys and the men that have no brain, i think about how just plain dumb people can be, i think of friends and sometimes of foes (don't have many of both, but they're all good at their role), i think of sex and love, of kisses and fights, i think of being better and being kind and how my patience is slowly getting to it's super high limit, i think about how everything seems to through me off balance and how sometimes i have to keep myself from drawning, i think about everything and nothing at all or simply about my very own simple life
Sempre dei demasiada importância aos sonhos, principalmente quando os sentia como reais, por vezes lutava para não acordar. Ainda faço isso, mas agora tento não lhes atribuir a mesma relevância. Porque me criam ilusões, porque por momentos me fazem acreditar numa imagem que nunca se irá tornar real, porque me fazem sofrer por um desejo insatisfeito.
Continuo a sonhar, ainda não perdi essa capacidade mas agora prefiro fazê-lo acordada. É apenas uma forma de controlar e minimizar a dor que fica de cada vez que acordo de um sonho que queria verdadeiramente real.
Já tenho idade para saber melhor, para esperar melhor de mim, mas por mais séria que me considerem, ainda existe uma parte menina de mim, fechada a sete chaves que não se abre a ninguém. Talvez porque ainda não apareceu ninguém que mereça esse esforço da minha parte.
Da ultima vez que corri esse risco, fi-lo sozinha. E eu quero alguém que queira sonhar e arriscar comigo, senão de que vale a pena voltar a amar?
I miss us, or at least what i thought we were...i miss the conversations and the understanding, the suport even if you never ask about me, how i'm doing....but i guess i also got everything wrong, you don't love me and never will, the sooner i get that in my head, and my heart, the better. I simply have to fall out of love with you, i just wished it was as easy as saying it!
I'm lost again and again and again.
I sometimes wished i didn't realise certain things. It would be so much easier. But my instincts tell me what i sometimes try really hard not to believe. And then i find that they were right...
Vivo num sentimento de tristeza constante, presa entre uma nostalgia do que senti e a ânsia do futuro que não chega.
Questiono-me eternamente pela inexistência de uma alegria mais constante despertada pelos momentos em que rio e sorrio.
Parecem egocêntricas estas questões eternas e repetidas até à exaustão, mas não tenho capacidade para me negar e o aprisionamento de vontades e humores numa combinou com a minha impetuosidade de ceder a vontades e desejos.
De resto permaneço incerta sobre o que o futuro me reserva e sobre as vontades dos outros.
That's it! I give up. I will shed no more tears for something i can't change and i will try no more. I've had enough pain and i really don't deserve it or have the strenght to keep on getting hurt every single time i dare to love someone. I will survive and one day i will love again. I just hope that someday when that time comes and i give everything i am to that person, he truly deserves it.
I don't want to spend my life loving people who allways end up letting me down....
I'm sad everyday and everynight and tired of allways being strong and a good girl... I don't know what to do anymore...i don't even know what to think anymore. I need to live without tears, but i don't know how...i feel and think more than i should.
Nowadays i fall asleep crying. For no reason and all the reasons. I have to write myself out of you. I don't know if you read this, as much as i still don't understand why did you read all of this, i don't even know how to feel about it. It hurts even if you would prefer it not to. I miss an On and Off button, i really do. It would be so much easier if we were just friends, just to love you a little less. It seems that once i told you what i felt everything changed...and all i wanted was what we had before.
Sometimes i wish i had the ability to remain angry with the people that disapoint and hurt me. The pain i feel in the moment starts to fade away to quickly for my own sanity. Maybe then i would begin to put myself and my heart first, instead of loving others more than i really should especially when they haven't given me any reason whatsoever to deserve my love!
I just wish that some things would be a bit simpler, but i am starting to believe that i'm not really destined to be happy, no job, no love, no place of mine, no money, no traveling...no nothing and nothing is getting any better.
Sometimes giving it all up, the nothing that i have now seems so much more easy than the continued tries to get to somewhere...
I don't want everything easy but i do want something.
A job, be loved with no reservations by someone i love, my place...
Have at least one reason to be happy...
I'm tired of everything, including and most of all of myself...
I miss you. I miss talking to you. i miss being with you. And i'm afraid ... of losing what we had. I'm afraid of myself in all of this. I'm afraid you will fall in love with someone that is not me. I'm afraid that what we can one day have would be too good for us to take...but i can't turn off my heart. And despite everything... I just keep on loving you and waiting to be with you...everyday.
Complete and utterly lost...again. The need to disappear has come back to unsettle me once again. I'm unhappy. My favorite time is when i sleep and i really don't know where i'm going. I can't even get myself to do simple things...i wish i could just give up, just crawl to a big hole and stay there... I know i'm being overdramatic but sometimes i'm so tired of waiting for everything to happen, of waiting for a shot at being happy. I love but am not loved, i'm good at what i do, but now it's just not the time to be picked even when someone else is, i see everybody achieving something and i allways feel like i get left behind, and no matter how much optimism i show or try to feel... It's just a load of crap... Cause in the end, i'm the one who is left alone, i'm the one not being selected for anything, allways trying to prove myself, allways showing up stronger than i really feel or am. But the more stupid part is that i can't stop myself, i can't be any diferent...so in the end the fault for all this is simply me! I'm the screw up,...i'm just so tired...
