control.

!break.

Se vamos ser atingidos por maus momentos, que esses maus momentos nos encontrem a fazer coisas que nos fazem felizes, a trabalhar, a ensinar, ler, ouvir musica, rezar, a tomar conta das crianças, a praticar desporto, a conversar com bons amigos durante um jogo de sueca acompanhados de boa cerveja...e que nunca nos encontrem encolhidos com medo a pensar nos maus momentos. Cada momento que desperdiçamos a pensar no que de mau nos pode acontecer, é um momento que estamos a ceder aos maus momentos. São também uteis, mas não lhes vamos dar mais tempo do que o tempo que eles já tomam.

heart.

Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

  I wonder...if they become unbreakable...will we feel the same? What will happen to trust? What will happen to love? Isn't it part of love to be vulnerable?

Stand.

A wonderfull life awaits you. I'm afraid it will never be peacefull or boring,
you will make mistakes and have doubts. You’ll feell like a total failure some days…
and even worse on others.  You’ll experience great tragedies…and know even greater triumphs.  But i have a hunch that you’ll always try your very best…
because there are some things that you just can’t give up on.

Standard.

Why i am not like the others?
Why do you want to be like the others?

I know this is a commercial, but i really like the message. I'm not saying that we should all try to be different, just we shouldn't not try to be so equal...and that it is ok if we are different. Just understand that you are different and that other people are also different from you, respect and be respected.
Oh...and of course, don't give up just because people say you can't. They are not wearing your shoes, they are not living your life. You are living your life, so take charge in your decisions =)

Misunderstood.

arguing with myself.

Heart: Are you ready?
Paul: nope...i told you i don't have time for this now...
Heart: Well, i'm sorry but time is of no importance in this matter.
Brain: It's gonna hurt...again...
Paul: Yeah...it figures...
Heart: There's a chance it won't. There's always a chance...
Brain: blah blah blah...
Paul: lool
Heart: ?
Paul: It's true...you always say that this time it might work...and
you...we end up in the same way...
Brain: True.
Heart: Brain, your not helpin'
Brain: Actually i am, i am helping him not to get hurt.
Heart: But pain is a part of trying.
Brain: And beeing smart also is. I thought Love doesn't envolve pain.
Heart: Well, true love doesn't...but if you are caught in a passion...
or some affair...it will hurt. I can't do anything about that.
Brain: You could not drag us into this kind of stuff.
Heart: Ok...like asking you to not be logical about things? To not think straight
about things?
Brain: Ok, Ok...


Paul: Guys? You are kinda leaving me out of this conversation...and that is actually scaring me out.
'Cause...you are all inside my mind so...include me in, 'k?
So i dont get crazy...ergh...ya know...crazy-er...
Brain, Heart: heheh
Paul: Not funny. Anyway, so Heart isn't there anyother way to do this? Does it always have to be
try and error?
Heart: Actually there is another way, you can try calling this phone number, and then a lady will tell you if this relation can work...
Paul: SERIOUS? =D
Heart: Dude...of course not. No one can do that. Idiot.
Brain: Hey, don't call him Idiot...i know he is...but that kinda affects me to.
Heart: Sorry.
Brain: 'ts cool.
Paul: Ok, so it will be the same thing like before right? You know i'm not very good at stuff like this...
Heart: yeah...we've noticed.
Brain: looool
Paul: What? I've been busy...and it's not that i havent loved...you know i'm in a constant love state...so
it shouldnt be so different.
Brain: We know about your zenish love everything/peace and all that...but remember, it's different
with girls.
Heart: True...all other level of different.
Brain: Headache different if you ask me...i still can't figure them out...how they work...weird creatures.
Paul: lool...i like them =)
Heart: We do to...just prepare for anything...everything...
Brain: =(
Paul: Yeah...i know brain...


Paul: Hey heart, does it really have to hurt if it goes bad? I mean...can't i try a little without
giving much of myself?
Heart: Well...yeah you could just give a little of yourself...but that way you would never know
what that relation could mean to you, or what that person could mean. If you only give a little
then don't expect to recieve alot. So in the end when it's over, you will say that you wont felt much...
but that is not because of the other person...it was your fault.
Brain: Makes sence dude.
Paul: Yeah...So Love little, hurt little. Love Big, hurt big?
Heart: pessimist. What about: Love little, recieve little. Love big recieve big.
Why are you so affraid of hurting your self?
Paul: I know pain is good, it's part of us. But we all try to avoid it right? It's normal.
Heart: Yes, all beings avoid pain and suffering. But it is part of life, of growing up.
Paul: ok, ok i get all that.
Brain: But we should avoid pain when possible.
Heart: True, and that is what experience is for. At least in most cases.
Paul: Ok... isn't true that every person is a different person? Shouldn't we all have a second chance if things go wrong?
Brain: yes. but...just give a second chance AND pay attention to the details and do not let yourself be blinded...
Heart: Sorry about that...that last part is usually my fault. My bad.
Paul, Brain: It's ok...
Paul: I didn't understood that last part brain...but you will explain it some other time. For now, let's dive in into this.
Brain: wait...lemme get some aspirin first...i think we will need it.
Heart: >_<
Paul: lool, btw you guys, just curious...do you both have a on/off switch?
Brain, Heart: uh? No, why?
Paul: hm, nothing special...i was just wondering...

gotcha.

Fear itself

dreams.

It is good to pursue your dreams, to fight for them. But if you lose your way, if you start
doing things that you don't want to do, that you know deep inside that it is wrong, can you still recognize your self in the mirror? Is that a price you are willing to pay? To become something that you are not to achieve a dream?

 Be careful what you become, it might not be pretty. Sometimes we must give up the thing we want the most if that means keeping a good heart and a healthy mind. Or at least stop doing the things that you think it may help you reach your dream, and try to find another path.  If you become something else, maybe your dreams will be different. I'm just trying to say that you should be careful when you pursue a dream. Don't become something that you don't like. Just think of what you would think of yourself, if the younger you saw you. If the you (when you were 8years old) saw you now. What would that child think of you? And what would she/he say?

In the end when you achieved all your hopes and dreams, be careful to see if the path you walked on is not filled of pain and suffering from others. And if you are the same dreamer that you were. And check if you are not trapped in your own dream. It is good to dream, but don't make it your master. Use it as a guide line to create something in this world.

Follow your dreams, create them. But don't lose your way. Work hard to make them true, but do it with a good heart and a sane mind and conscience. If you see that the your path is not the right one, if you don't like and know that it is wrong, change it. There's always room for change. Remember, where there's a will there's a way.

Because in the end your dreams will only be the goal, the way you achieved them will be the most important thing and will define your life.
 Let your life and the way you live be the words of your heart and soul.
