doomed
I’ve pondered through it, and logically there is only one solution, you love her and she loves you, so that should be enough. It’s really not my place to step in… we just took it a notch too far, and now its time to retrace the steps back (and not in slow motion…really fast like ripping off a band aid, so you feel it but not so much after a while). I do wish that I had absolutely no feelings but...
does anyone?
It’s because you don’t know who you are, you’ve been surrounded by love and the presence of others for the past years and you’ve been slowly losing your own identity. You’ve realized that the only way to validate yourself is through relationships and perhaps by being with you i didn’t help in the learning process. Now i’ve realized how i haven’t...

learning
i’ve learnt all that i was meant to learn from you, and now there is no point anymore, because all that i have to teach, you no longer want to learn. that is the finality. we are put in eachothers paths to celebrate the communication of life stories and purposes, but after a while, if there is no common goal found, then it’s best to cut your losses and continue in the search. you were...
trust
The separation between the mind and heart is difficult, we gain habits as children linking trust with the feelings of affection, this is wrong, each person is born as an individual, you can try to argue that twins and triplets have an ingrained sense of companionship, it is not so. We don’t understand the complexity that drives relationships. I could embrace upon myself the burden of...

and the underlying question
will it last? when u believe you’ve found it. Because somehow even when your having all the fun in the world you know it’ll end. So, logically you think that at some point what you understood as the best thing for you isn’t anymore. And how are you supposed to feel when the realization dawns on you? That once again the connection was severed…do you lose hope? Or do you see...
perceptions
how do you do that where you know exactly what i’m about? it’s as if with you i can’t lie, in a way it’s refreshing to know that even if i tried you would know the truth. You see me, and that isn’t something that you find ever. most probably the emotion is jealousy, he doesn’t want you near me. wow, it’s surprising to know you are so perceptive. well...

Estou num momento da minha vida em que este acontecimento encaixa, no entanto, a longo prazo, uma pessoa tem de incluir nas suas decisões uma série de factores externos que são importantes e necessários para o bem estar físico e psicológico. As decisões são tomadas tendo em consideração as projecções, não só feitas por nós próprios, mas também, por aqueles que nos ajudaram a crescer. No futuro...

differences
there are three kinds of people.
the ones who feel everything and the ones who see everything, and in some special cases, the ones who can mix the two together.
the ones who feel can be explained as those who have everything in excess. their emotions overflow, their words are like torrents, their actions full and uncontained..
the ones who see are on the opposite side. pragmatic, logical,...

solitary entertainment
why are some people so good at being alone while others feel the constant need to be surounded and never feel comfortable with their own entities, craving validation?
who has never felt the twang of jealousy while listening to the adventures and misadventures of friends and foes alike? why wasn’t i there when all these seemingly fun things happened? what was i doing by myself? and why, the...

dilemas of the wandering mind
do you live in the past?
i was asked recently, when is it that one lives in the past?
when memories are all that your thoughts are made of, and the reality just doesn’t seem to reflect your state of mind.
can the present erase the conflicts and the tensions, can the present show you the way towards what you think is your future?
what part does suffering have, how do the stars align to...
