Scary how by loosing touch of your friends you end up loosing a part of yourself...life passes you by and before you know it you leave important people behind.

It's terribly amusing how many different climates of feeling one can go through in a day. ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Marin: Humans are born with the desire to roam the earth. We crawl, then walk, then run, all in an effort to move further away from where they came from... home. I know firsthand the thrill of what changing one's surroundings can do for one's heart, and now I also know that sometimes staying home and letting others go can be its own fantastic journey. Because when you let go of something, you make room for something else entirely, something you never expected, something that makes "home" seem like its own unexpected adventure... A trip where new treasures are found around every old corner, for the world and all its complexities come right to your doorstep. Because, in the end, the power is not just with those who go away, but also in what they leave behind
Marin: (to radio show audience) How much time does it take to make a difference in someone's life? Is a chance meeting enough? Six months? A decade? Shakespeare said he wrote to be immortal. Writers hope their written word will help keep their memory alive. But books can be lost, words erased, stories changed. With all those variables working against you, how can you ever know you've made an impact?
We don't want to capture a moment. We just want the good parts.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all i still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing -Agatha Christie
Carrie: I began to realize that being beautiful is like having a rent-controlled apartment overlooking the park: completely unfair and usually bestowed upon those who deserve it least.
Marin: The good news and bad news about chemistry is that we'll never fully understand how it works. Every relationship is an experiment; you never know exactly what you'll get. Some people bring out a side of you that you didn't know you had. Some people remind you that your story isn't over. Some people surprise you. And once in a while, you surprise yourself. And, although all relationships require compromise, sometimes you get more, not less. And sometimes, you can't get more. Sometimes what you had is gone forever. And, although it's painful, you have to find the strength to go on, to keep searching for the love, for that one perfect ingredient. No matter how far or how deep you have to go to find it.
Life would be so good if we could just freeze moments in time, the time when we were happy, when we knew we were loved. But, we can't. And so instead, we find ourselves retracing footsteps that may have washed away. We fight to remember our connections even as time wipes our slate clean. And we strive to make new connections that we hope time will indulge. When communication fails, words remain behind, proof that we were here, that we mattered, that someone cared. In the end, the past may be all we have.

The mind is a funny thing. It's the place from which everything emanates yet no one can access anyone else's which means we've got to communicate. With animals, we use only the most straightforward language…but, between one another, things quickly get complicated. What we say is not always what we mean. And, at times, we have to fight through mixed messages or start all over again. But, no matter how hard it is and how often we feel misunderstood, it is our responsibility to keep fighting for clarity because, in the end, we teach people how to treat us, which means the responsibility to communicate lies not on the shoulders of others but on ourselves.
Um dia frio Um bom lugar pra ler um livro E o pensamento lá em você Eu sem você não vivo Um dia triste Toda fragilidade incide E o pensamento lá em você, E tudo me divide Longe da felicidade E todas as suas luzes Te desejo como ao ar Mais que tudo, És manhã na natureza das flores Mesmo por toda riqueza dos sheiks árabes Não te esquecerei um dia, Nem um dia Espero com a força do pensamento Recriar a luz que me trará você. E tudo nascerá mais belo, O verde faz do azul com amarelo O elo com todas as cores Pra enfeitar amores gris
I look at you and still don't know what to think or feel. You seem so close one minute and so distant the other. I see one green light telling me to make the move but then...I look closer and it's surounded by ten stop signs. So what do I do? Go ahead and risk it all or just stay put? The sign will turn red, chances will be none and I'll be there alone, as I was. I guess I'm just waiting for the guts to go head first...with no fear of what I'll find...if you'll break my fall or just leave.
Você disse Que não sabe "se não" Mas também Não tem certeza que "sim"...
Quer saber? Quando é assim Deixa vir do coração Você sabe Que eu só penso em você Você diz Que vive pensando em mim...

Hoje estou dividida. Uma parte de mim sente-se feliz pelo dia ter corrido melhor do que eu esperava, por ter estado com pessoas de quem gosto e por ter podido dar-lhes coisas que os fizeram rir. Mas a outra parte não sente a mesma coisa. Sinto-me sozinha, triste, cansada. Sozinha porque mesmo estando ao pe de ti, sinto-te tão longe. Triste porque não consigo decifrar os teus olhares, não consigo perceber se sentes como eu sinto, não consigo compreender-te. E cansada porque carregar tudo o que sinto por ti e não poder grita-lo ao mundo é um fardo que pesa muito...mais que tudo em dias como o de hoje em que tudo o que me apetece é ouvir uma palavra tua e descansar no teu abraço....
Now I was sitting waiting wishing That you believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs But Lord knows that this world is cruel And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool Learning loving somebody don't make them love you
Must I always be waiting waiting on you? Must I always be playing playing your fool?
Well if I was in your position Id put down all my ammunition I'd wondered why'd it taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you And If I was I wouldn't be so cruel Cause waiting on love ain't so easy to do
Às vezes, no silêncio da noite Eu fico imaginando nós dois Eu fico ali sonhando acordado, juntando O antes, o agora e o depois Por que você me deixa tão solto? Por que você não cola em mim? Tô me sentindo muito sozinho!
Não sou nem quero ser o seu dono É que um carinho às vezes cai bem Eu tenho meus desejos e planos secretos Só abro pra você mais ninguém Por que você me esquece e some? E se eu me interessar por alguém? E se ela, de repente, me ganha?
Quando a gente gosta É claro que a gente cuida Fala que me ama Só que é da boca pra fora Ou você me engana Ou não está madura Onde está você agora?
I close my eyes, inhale, and feel a rush of heat and energy that takes my breath away. It is the feeling of wanting something so much that it borders on an actual need, and the power and urgency of this need overwhelms me.
Amanha parto para Punta Cana, aquel paraíso com sol, praia e calor. Uma semana de férias, muito bem merecidas e as quais pretendo aproveitar ao máximo.
Este ano já viajei um bocadinho, sim senhor. E ainda faltam mais umas viagens...Londres (mais uma vez), Viena, Rio de Janeiro..etc.
I sometimes find it hard to believe how fast it all can happen... How a person can come into your world and just flip it around (in a good way). It's kind of a miracle that there are people out there who by just being a part of your life.... make it better.
Later, when they all ask her what happened, she'll lie. She'll say she never loved him, that it was all a ruse, a two-week crush that never got past scribbling his name on the back of her physics book. But she always mixes a little truth into it. She exists outside of love, in all of the space that those four tiny letters can't fill, where the people you can't live without are the ones who'll save you or kill you or both
Hoje tive um encontro com o meu passado. Encontrei memórias de pessoas que já passaram pela minha vida, e que nunca mais vi. Senti saudades de cada momento que passei com elas e tristeza por não te-las comigo ainda. Verdade seja dita, só temos momentos com aqueles de quem gostamos muito...breves momentos que desaparecem num instante. E a cada passo vamos acumulando mais memórias e saudades, porque por cada pessoa que perdemos no caminho, aparece uma nova que nunca vai ocupar esse vácio, mas criar o seu prórprio espaço dentro de nós até aquele dia em que também irá embora e deixará o seu vacio.

Só penso em você, em querer-te encontrar....

Eu faria tudo Prá não te perder Assim! Mas o dia vem E deixo você ir...
I don't want you to date other people. It may not be enough for you, but I'm trying here so I don't want you to date anybody but me. That's it. Except, I'm scared as hell to want you, but here I am wanting you anyway. And fear means I have something to lose, right? And I don't want to lose you.
So chin up. Put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. Don't lick your wounds: celebrate them. The scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. You're in a lion fight. Just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar.
There are silences that say so much...moments where words are not needed, cause with one look, one touch, one breath, we say it all. But there are moments of silence were nothing is said, and there is so much to be said. Moments were for some reason we don't find the proper words. Silences that exist to teach us that sometimes actions speak louder than words. There are comfortable silences...moments we need to ourselves. Silences we want to break but we don't know how to. Moments when our heart bits sound louder than everything around us. And there are those inexplicable silences, where everything seems to be ok but there is still something missing.....
......Maybe when you find it, the silence will break and the so needed sound will appear
Acho que sofro de um problema grave, muito grave, que em vez de facilitar a minha vida, acaba por atrapalhar-la. Esse problema é que eu nunca quero magoar ninguém, especialmente se gosto muito da pessoa. E acabo por perdoar coisas que não devo, culpar-me por coisas que não fiz e dou carta branca para que repitam as mesmas coisas e me magoem ainda mais.
Porque será que nunca sou capaz de dizer basta?? De levantar-me e admitir que estou chateada, magoada, que até sou capaz de perdoar, mas que essa pessoa tem que merecer o meu perdão?
Sempre que alguem faz alguma coisa que pode magoar-me, mas eu não sei, quando me contam ficam cheios de medo da minha reacção, acreditam que eu posso desatar aos berros e insulta-los e nunca mais querer falar com eles, mas no fundo sabem que eu não sou assim. Eu sei muito bem que nunca fui assim. E se calhar deveria ter sido. Mas depois penso: tenho tão pouco tempo neste mundo que não quero perder-lo chateando-me com pessoas que adoro, mesmo quando elas merecem que eu nunca mais lhes fale na vida. A cada dia que passa, constato que o tempo que temos com as pessoas de quem realmente gostamos é muito pouco, são breves momentos, que ao meu ver não devem ser desperdiçados com sentimentos de magoa, raiva, tristeza, etc. Posso estar errada, provavelmente até estou, mas prefiro continuar a acreditar naquela parte boa das pessoas....se não fizer isso vou acabar por perder a fé que tenho nas pessoas...
This may be the last time I see you Forgive me for holding you close This may be the last time I see you So of this moment I will make the most This may be the last time I see you But if you keep me in your heart Together we shall be eternal If you believe we shall never part
O que você quer? O que você sabe? Não é fácil pra mim Meu fogo também me arde Às vezes me vejo tão triste Onde você vai? Não é tão simples assim Porque às vezes meu coração não responde,só se esconde e dói Por favor não vá ainda, espera anoitecer A noite é linda, me espera adormecer Não vá ainda, não, não vá ainda Me diga como você pode viver indo embora, sem se despedaçar Por favor me diga agora, ou será Que você nem quer perceber? Talvez você seja feliz sem saber.
Most of our life is a series of images, they pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

All the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. The kind of fear youre talking about, sometimes its how you know whats worthwhile. -Dawson's Creek
Well, your eyes are puffy which, from experience, screams textbook crying eyes. You have your hair up, you're probably not planning on impressing any boys today. I'd say you're nursing a hell of a broken heart. and not the school girl crush kind. You're dealing with the real thing -One Tree Hill

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!

Piece by piece & bit by bit. I'll break this down for you real slow. But I can't whisper all of this. & I can't seem to let this go.
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me. There is nothing else in the world, I'd rather wake up and see (with you). Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again. Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night. But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again. Do you remember the day when my journey began? Will you remember the end (of time)? Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again. Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine. High; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older? Promise me tomorrow starts with you, Getting high; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
So while I'm turning in my sheets And once again, I cannot sleep Walk out the door and up the street Look at the stars beneath my feet Remember rights that I did wrong So here I go
Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go My mind is muddy but My heart is heavy, does it show I lose the track that loses me So here I go
I'm not calling for a second chance, I'm screaming at the top of my voice, Give me reason, but don't give me choice, Cos I'll just make the same mistake again
Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them -Marcel Proust

Hay momentos en la vida en que paramos para pensar donde estamos, como llegamos aqui, que caminos hemos recorrido y que decisiones hemos tomado...hay instantes en que ponderamos todo y tenemos esa lucidez espontánea que nos permite fijar el camino a seguir, lo que queremos hacer y adonde queremos llegar. Este fin de semana fue uno de esos momentos. Pase de la alegría más grande del mundo a una tristeza profunda, por todos los estados imaginables del alma...y desde hace algún tiempo tuve la lucidez suficiente para ver todo más claro. Logré salir de mi y verme con otros zapatos, y me gustó lo que vi. Aveces necesitamos momentos así...ni que sea para acordarnos de quienes somos, de lo que tenemos y de adonde vamos.

Who wants that? I'd rather choose to fall in love and be hurt. Sometimes I can't even sleep because I love someone so much. And there's always sadness in our lives. It's that sad feeling that keeps us going. Because if we can overcome that sadness, we can hope for happiness in the future. -House
Lately people around me are changing...places are not as they used to be.. the world around me seems as if I were in a different place in time and space. My friends and relatives are no longer the same I used to remember..strange situations keep coming afloat and rock the very foundation of what I believe and know. Everything keeps changing around me so quickly I can hardly keep the pace and I end up feeling stuck in time, attached to that comfortable past that seems so familiar and safe..and i just feel like going back there, to that time when everything was normal...when I had the false notion of being in control ...
Cause I am a Superwoman Yes I am Yes she is Even when I'm a mess I still put on a vest With an S on my chest Oh yes I'm a Superwoman

Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it. -Sarah Dessen
Sometimes we see what we want to, instead of what's in front ofus. And sometimes, we don't see clearly at all.

And Hansel said to Gretel: Let us drop these bread crumbs so that together we can find our way home because losing our way would be the most cruel of things. And once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely. Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.
“Às vezes caio muito fundo dentro de mim, os olhos param-me em coisas que não vejo, oiço em “repeat” músicas que fazem mal, faço e desfaço nozinhos na alma como quem tricota um cachecol sem fim e quando finalmente consigo decifrar o relógio vejo que passaram horas que percebi como segundos. Aí sei: se me deixar ir vou parar a um sítio do qual não saberei regressar.” em 7/3/2005.
Você foi o maior dos meus casos De todos os abraços o que eu nunca esqueci Você foi dos amores que eu tive O mais complicado e o mais simples pra mim. Você foi o melhor dos meus erros A mais estranha história que alguém já escreveu E é por essas e outras que a minha saudade Faz lembrar de tudo outra vez. Você foi a mentira sincera Brincadeira mais séria que me aconteceu Você foi o caso mais antigo O amor mais amigo que me apareceu Das lembranças que eu trago na vida Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim outra vez. Esqueci de tentar te esquecer Resolvi te querer por querer Decidi te lembrar quantas vezes eu tenha vontade Sem nada perder. Você foi toda a felicidade Você foi a maldade que só me fez bem Você foi o melhor dos meus planos E o pior dos enganos que eu pude fazer Das lembranças que eu trago na vida Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter Só assim sinto você bem perto de mim outra vez.
Mac MacGuff: Look, in my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.
