Depois eu cuido de fazer as suturas e acredito estar cuidando de um estrago que eu mesma orquestrei. Às vezes, por falta do que cuidar, nesse meu vício de auto-tortura, me ponho a te machucar, gratuitamente, para que talhos e fraturas expostas se abram em mim como faz um terremoto ao rasgar o chão do mundo. E depois, talhos e fraturas expostas, o deleite de remendar, ritualisticamente, cada um deles. Desde muito pequena, eu mesma me torturo para eu mesma de curar. Me torturo pra fazer canções; me torturo pra chorar e combinar com uma noite de chuva; me torturo pra me consolar; me torturo pra eu ser e mais ninguém o carrasco de mim. Me torturo, sobretudo, pra ninguém me machucar. Ninguém me machuca e ninguém me cura. Faço tudo sozinha. Sofro tudo sozinha...

- Elena Ferrante

i don’t know when love became elusive what i know, is that no one i know has it my fathers arms around my mothers neck fruit too ripe to eat, a door half way open when your name is a just a hand i can never hold everything i have ever believed in, becomes magic.

i think of lovers as trees, growing to and from one another searching for the same light, my mothers laughter in a dark room, a photograph greying under my touch, this is all i know how to do, carry loss around until i begin to resemble every bad memory, every terrible fear, every nightmare anyone has ever had.

i ask did you ever love me? you say of course, of course so quickly that you sound like someone else i ask are you made of steel? are you made of iron? you cry on the phone, my stomach hurts

i let you leave, i need someone who knows how to stay.

Sometimes what is meant for you can’t find you simply because you aren’t being yourself.

• could I have told you? even without your iron suit, you still wear your skin like armor.
• you think you care too much, that you love too hard. and you're scared that you'll suffocate people. that they'll leave you because you're too much. so you pretend to not care, and hope no one sees.
• so you pretend to like the things you don't, and you pretend you don't like the things you do, and then they'll never know where to hit so it hurts.

''By the time I identified as being gay, it was too late. I was already homophobic, and you do not get to just flick a switch on that. No, what you do is you internalize that homophobia and you learn to hate yourself. Hate yourself to the core. I sat soaking in shame in the closet for ten years. Because the closet can only stop you from being seen. It is not shame-proof.

When you soak a child in shame, they cannot develop the neurological pathways that carry thoughts of self-worth. They can’t do that. Self-hatred is only ever a seed planted from outside in. But when you do that to a child, it becomes a weed so thick, and it grows so fast, the child doesn’t know any different. It becomes as natural as gravity.

When I came out of the closet, I didn’t have any jokes. The only thing I knew how to do was to be invisible and hate myse...

I am who I am. A coincidence no less unthinkable than any other.

I could have different ancestors, after all, I could have fluttered from another nest or crawled bescaled from under another tree.

Nature’s wardrobe holds a fair supply of costumes: spider, seagull, field mouse. Each fits perfectly right off and is dutifully worn into shreds.

I didn’t get a choice either, but I can’t complain. I could have been someone much less separate. Someone from an anthill, shoal, or buzzing swarm, an inch of landscape tousled by the wind.

Someone much less fortunate, bred for my fur or Christmas dinner, something swimming under a square of glass.

A tree rooted to the ground as the fire draws near.

A grass blade trampled by a stampede of incomprehensible events.

Para Maria da Graça

Agora, que chegaste à idade avançada de 15 anos, Maria da Graça, eu te dou este livro: Alice no País das Maravilhas.

Este livro é doido, Maria. Isto é: o sentido dele está em ti.

Escuta: se não descobrires um sentido na loucura acabarás louca. Aprende, pois, logo de saída para a grande vida, a ler este livro como um simples manual do sentido evidente de todas as coisas, inclusive as loucas. Aprende isso a teu modo, pois te dou apenas umas poucas chaves entre milhares que abrem as portas da realidade. A realidade, Maria, é louca.

Nem o Papa, ninguém no mundo, pode responder sem pestanejar à pergunta que Alice faz à gatinha: “Fala a verdade Dinah, já comeste um morcego?”

It's like Luke is driving a car and I just want to be in the passenger seat. He's locked the door and I have to hold onto the bumper. I am not even asking him to open the door for me, just leave it unlocked and say come in, but he didn't do that. So I am hanging on to the bumper and life goes on and the car goes on, and I get really badly bruised and I'm hitting potholes. And it hurts. It really hurts. So yesterday I had to let go of the bumper. Because it hurts too much.''

People feel that being alone is a bad thing, that it means you will rot if you don’t reach out. I feel that being alone gives you the luxury of hearing yourself.

Tsai Ming-Liang

O que as pessoas mais desejam é alguém que as escute de maneira calma e tranquila. Em silêncio. Sem dar conselhos. Sem que digam: “Se eu fosse você”. A gente ama não é a pessoa que fala bonito. É a pessoa que escuta bonito. A fala só é bonita quando ela nasce de uma longa e silenciosa escuta. É na escuta que o amor começa. E é na não-escuta que ele termina. Não aprendi isso nos livros. Aprendi prestando atenção. — Rubem Alves.

Maybe everyone can’t kiss the frog

Maybe it’ll be me and a dog

Ouça: respeite mesmo o que é ruim em você - respeite sobretudo o que você imagina que é ruim em você - pelo amor de Deus, não queira fazer de você mesma uma pessoa perfeita - não copie uma pessoa ideal, copie você mesma - é esse o único meio de viver.

Juro por Deus que se houvesse um céu, uma pessoa que se sacrificou por covardia - será punida e irá para um inferno qualquer. Se é que uma vida morna não será punida por essa mesma mornidão.

Entretanto você caminha melancólico e vertical. Você é a palmeira, você é o grito que ninguém ouviu no teatro e as luzes todas se apagam. O amor no escuro, não, no claro, é sempre triste, meu filho, Carlos, mas não diga nada a ninguém, ninguém sabe nem saberá. Não se mate....

I was so rude and self-centered, and it ended up making me lonely and miserable. I felt depressed. I was barely sleeping. Then one night I overheard my roommate talking on the phone with her mother.

I want to believe that happiness might at least be possible later on in life for people prone to sadness.

— Matthew Quick, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock

“It's funny how you can forget everything except people loving you. Maybe that's why humans find it so hard getting over love affairs. It's not the pain they're getting over, it's the love.”

― Melina Marchetta

Tenho que ter paciência para não me perder dentro de mim: vivo me perdendo de vista. Preciso de paciência porque sou vários caminhos, inclusive o fatal beco-sem-saida.

“Never be afraid of growing slowly, only of standing still.”

- Karamo

"será que a minha raiz vai conseguir arrebentar asfaltos, canos e prédios pra sobreviver e gerar frutos? sim, se minha raiz fosse forte, grande, mas sinto que a minha semente nem chegou a brotar direito ainda. então, provavelmente em uma cidade, ela se brotasse, miúda e doente viveria."

"When my husband was dying, I said: 'Moe, how am I supposed to live without you?' He told me: 'Take the love you have for me and spread it around.'"

"Digo-vos: praticai o bem. Porquê? O que ganhais com isso? Nada, não ganhais nada. Nem dinheiro, nem amor, nem respeito, nem talvez paz de espírito. Talvez não ganheis nada disso. Então por que vos digo: Praticai o bem? Porque não ganhais nada com isso. Vale a pena praticá-lo por isto mesmo."

Fernando Pessoa.

- Por que você começou a fotografar a guerra?

- Por raiva. Eu era muito revoltada quando era jovem. A fotografia foi... a minha salvação. Eu estava perdida em minhas emoções. Ela me acalmou.

- Você ainda está com raiva?

- Ah, sim. Mas você aprende a viver com ela, lidar com ela.

- O que quer dizer?

- Quando você se depara com... a crueldade... o sofrimento... quer que as pessoas se choquem quando abrirem o jornal, e vejam, e sintam, e reajam. É o que eu quero. Sabe, Steph? Você me dá esperança.

(Mil Vezes Boa Noite)

I think you know how to love better than any of us. That’s why you find it all so painful.

"There it is.. The silly old universe. The more I save it, the more it needs saving, it's a treadmill. Yes, yes I know. They'll get it all wrong without me. Well, I suppose, one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone. Well. Except me. You wait a moment, Doctor. Let's get it right. I've got a few things to say to you! Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly. and never, ever eat pears! Remember, hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind! Oh, and you mustn't tell anyone your name. No one would understand it anyway. Except.. Except children. Children can hear it sometimes, if their hearts are in the right place, and the stars are too. Children can hear your name. But nobody else. Nobody else, EVER. Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. Doctor.. I let you go"

- 12h Doctor

''There's no such thing as "bad guys" or "good guys." We're all just... guys... who do good stuff sometimes and bad stufff sometimes. And all we can do is try to do less bad stuff and more good stuff, but you're never going to be good. Because you're not bad. So you need to stop using that as an excuse.''

- Diane Nguyen

"A sociedade faz questão de ignorar o que se passa no interior dos presídios. Tem lógica: se todos concordam que a finalidade da pena é apenas castigar os que cometeram delitos, por que haveria interesse em assegurar condições mais dignas de aprisionamento? Nossas cadeias são construídas com o objetivo de punir marginais e de retirá-los das ruas, não com o intuito de recuperá-los para o convívio social. Preocupações de caráter humanitário com o destino dos condenados só ganharão força no dia em que os criminosos das famílias mais influentes forem parar nas mesmas celas que os filhos dos mais pobres.

Nick Fury: I’m not the director of anybody. I’m just an old man, who cares very much about you.

Tony Stark: And I’m the man who killed the Avengers. I saw it. I didn’t tell the team, how could I? I saw them all dead, Nick. I felt it. The whole world, too. It’s because of me. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t do all I could.

Nick Fury: The Maximoff girl, she’s working you, Stark. Playing on your fear.

Tony Stark: I wasn’t tricked, I was shown. It wasn’t a nightmare, it was my legacy. The end of the path I started us on.

Nick Fury: You’ve come up with some pretty impressive inventions, Tony. War isn’t one of them.

Tony Stark: I watched my friends die. You’d think that’d be as bad as it gets, right? Nope. Wasn’t the worst part.

Nick Fury: The worst part is that you did...

''To be rendered powerless does not destroy your humanity. Your resilience is your humanity. The only people who lose their humanity are those who believe they have the right to render another human being powerless. They are the weak. To yield and not break, that is incredible strength.''

what about this theory. the fear of not being enough. and the fear of being 'too much.' are exactly the same fear. the fear of being you.

"Well, I think it would speak to you more now. Franny, the character, is trying to be real in a world full of people who constantly talk about how real they are, but seem to her to be a bunch of phonies. Sort of like Franny the person, don't you think?"

"She is in a play, remember? But then she quits. She quits acting altogether, almost because she loves it too much. It's too important to her and she doesn't want to do it for the wrong reasons, for anything resembling ego. She's ashamed of herself for even wanting to compete, for "not having the courage to be an absolute nobody". I always love that line."

"That's the thing that always stuck out to me - the ideia that quantity becomes quality. I always took it to mean if you do anything enough, if you keep putting effort in, eventually something will happen, with or without you. You don't have to h...

“Gmorning. I don’t know how to tell you this, but you’re not perfect. You never will be. You keep growing and messing up and learning And your quirks become strengths You are SO much better than perfect, love.”

"Most of my life has been spent trying to shrink myself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less me. Because I didn’t want to be a burden. I didn’t want to be too much or push people away. I wanted people to like me. I wanted to be cared for and valued. I wanted to be wanted. So for years, I sacrificed myself for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, I suffered. But I’m tired of suffering, and I’m done shrinking. It’s not my job to change who I am in order to become someone else’s idea of a worthwhile human being. I am worthwhile. Not because other people think I am, but because I exist, and therefore I matter. My thoughts matter. My feelings matter. My voice matters. And with or without anyone’s permission or approval, I will continue to be who I am and speak my truth. Even if it makes people angry. Even if it mak...

''The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you get ashamed of, because words make them smaller. When they were in your head they were limitless; but when they come out they seem to be no bigger than normal things. But that's not all. The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried; they are clues that could guide your enemies to a prize they would love to steal. It's hard and painful for you to talk about these things ... and then people just look at you strangely. They haven't understood what you've said at all, or why you almost cried while you were saying it.''

Stephen King

''The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.''

Speak your truth even if your voice shakes. Live your truth even if your body breaks. Spirit survives.

''a big grand gesture, it's not about the actual thing that you do... it's about intent. it's about taking the time to tell the person you care about, I see you I hear you, I know exactly what you need right now and I'm showing how important that is to me.''

''the universe has to move forward. pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. whether it's a world, or a relationship, everything has its time. and everything ends.''

sarah jane

''I'm happy you're saying that, because... I mean, I always feel like a freak, because I'm never able to move on like... this! You know. People just have an affair, or even entire relationships... they break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals! I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have... their own, specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss on the other person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things. Maybe I'm crazy, but... when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking...

• there is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
• you remember your first love because they show you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how and you become a person and why.
• you’re both the fire and the water that extinguishes it. you’re the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. you’re the storyteller and the story told. you are somebody’s something, but you are also your you.

''I hope you find someone who's real with you. someone who's capable of telling you when you're wrong, when you're about to make a mistake. I hope you find someone who's not afraid to love. someone who's not afraid to get hurt. I hope you find more than just a lover. I hope you find a friend, and I hope they love you, really love you and I hope they love themselves as well. I hope you find someone who cares, but not just someone who cares about you but also someone who cares about others, someone who cares about making a difference, about leaving some kind of mark in the world. to heal it, change it for the best. in the most genuine way, i hope someone like this finds you, whether you're searching for them or not.''

é calmo e profundo o silêncio entre mim e o mar. mas há saudade. sabemos que há uma saudade invisível que se expande por toda imensidão e ainda assim, não cabe no oceano. e há versos. presos, entalados, amarrados na laringe. mas a amargura do sal arde em meus lábios e não me deixa sentir. a maresia cheira à desencanto. e há a sua falta. que mora no fundo das conchas (e entre os grãos de areia e entre as estrelas que refletem acima do céu azul marinho) e retine baixo, num canto harmoniosamente triste. contemplo o encontro sublime entre o oceano e o luar estrelado e é bonito te sentir. emaranhado dentre as coisas que deixamos pra trás e ficaram guardadas nos nossos refúgios particulares. de repente, não ouço mais os ponteiros correndo. o tempo não mais existe. te amo quando amanhece e o sol vai clareando devagarinho o contorno das ondas. e te amo quando anoitece e a turbu...

you are so pure, and it has nothing to do with your eyes or your smile, everything to do with your heart, all torn and weathered on your shirt for the entire world to see, so they can tear it up some more. you are so golden, and i fear that you don’t know how good you are — oh my, you are so good — because you cry when you get home most days, and you can’t lift your body from the ground. is your body heavy from the people who have walked all over it? why did no one help you? you are so kind, so kind, so kind to everyone that you forget to be kind to yourself. — you are so pure and yet so broken // r.e.s (via thoughtsintorhymes)

Eu vi estrelas no céu, mãe, eu comi estrelas e agora elas brilham em mim, eu estou chorando porque quero voar mas não consigo, o céu, mãe, eu quero morar no céu onde ninguém machuca meus braços e as minhas mãos não são esmagadas; aqui eles apertam a minha voz, aqui eles chutam meus sonhos para a vala, aqui eles querem me ver preso à dor. Eu não aguento, o paraíso é muito distante daqui? Porque se der, eu vou a pé, eu vou com os pés no chão contando os minutos para que eu veja tudo indo embora: você, meus amigos infelizes, meus professores angustiados, a população morrida, mãe, as guerras na Síria me afetam, há poetas perdendo seus dedos pra guerra e a gente só pode pedir para o infinito os guardarem, e a seca dos interiores consomem meu cérebro, a gente pode levar água mãe, a gente pode salvá-los, diz que sim, eu não aguento esse mundo, estão pisando nos meus...
