Once again without writing for a while, I haven't been reading too... Lately Im so busy teaching, grading, watching classes that I actually forgot the most important thing I should be doing, reading! One of my closes friends told me I should read, even if just one page a day, so Im reading twenty...

I just started reading Fausto's História Concisa Do Brasil, translation would be something like, The Solid History Of Brazil. It's like academic reading but I found very interesting, and I got myself thinking I knew a bit about my own history and I don't know anything... there's so much to learn and so much to be discovered, I often go back to the pages I've already read to make sure I haven't missed any word.

I will try to write more as Im catching up on my reading.

People are people

We live for our own

Live as you think

Not by what you been told

Don't listen to a work you heard

Do not listen to a work they say

Life

Almost a month since my last post, I didn't realize.

Sometimes I don't even know what to write.

I don't see myself as a interesting person.

I live a simple life. For some might be a boring life.

But I like it. It's small. It's simple. And it's mine.

She's Gone

My first meal came from her breast
My first tear was on her chest
My first laugh was on her lap
My first word was about her

She's gone
She took part of me
But I'll keep her alive
If I live my life right

I'll never forgive myself
For the times I made you cry
I'll always miss your company
In every car that I drive

I don't want to forget
The sound of your voice
The smell of your skin
The way you touch me

My best friend
My fathers lover
Not just a woman
This was my mother

music

"Music is the last true voice of human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age and beyond color... straight to the mind and heart of all people." - Ben Harper

I can't imagine my life without music, I can always find a song to represent my mood. A simple song it might last 5 minutes and during this miserables 5 minutes I don't feel alone. It touches my soul and become my friend, my lover, my guide... it gives my a hand in the rough times. Im grateful for this blessing.

Pleasure + Pain

To justify the name, I've realize that's what life is about. One can not exist without the other, Pleasure + Pain. Beyond this, here Im trying to find my path, struggling to rescue the child I once was and with a dream of the woman I want to become.
