Dimensions and Perspectives

Many times someone else’s behavior and attitude produce a negative effect in me.

But I learned that I have to deal with my reactions and not with the person in case because, at many times, if I would bring the subject the other side could be surprised or embarrassed.

It’s difficult to the others to have the dimension of how their attitudes affect us. And most of times they don’t do that intentionally. If asked, they might not even know the answer. Good people can cause negative effects on others too.

When it’s a simple matter, it’s easy to bring it to the conversation, in a diplomatic way. Complex matters are not good for that.

What I know is, the only answers I can have are my own.

And whenever I get them, I get another perspective, and the same behavior can’t affect me the same way it did before.

And someone once said that we learn much more from the search of answers than from the answers themselves.

I agree.

I can’t be your friend,

My sweet distant memory,

Though I’m glad you tried

=======

I don’t remember

You asking anything about me

Why doing it now?

I can’t remember now

Exactly how it started

Not even how it ended

He healed the world a little bit each time he sang a song.

For me, not even in a thousand years there will be another voice like his.

Why do you keep this

I don’t understand you

Now that I’m away

Away from you. Why do you keep

Coming here?

Come To The Light, Déia

I don’t know about other countries but it’s not easy being a single woman living alone here in Brazil. Specially when the house needs some maintenance, it’s really difficult to find a professional that will charge an acceptable price, even for small services.

I’m not an adept of  home repair and, in those occasions, I need a male friend to deal with the professionals or do the repair himself.

Fortunately, I have great friends :) .

I’ve had a lot of electrical problems in the apartment, from lamp sockets to the shower temperature.

My kitchen was in the dark for weeks and I couldn’t have a hot shower in these miserably cold days we’re having here.

Last saturday, with the great help of my friend, I finally got an electrician for an acceptable price and there’s light at every room of the apartment and…a hot [really hot] shower :) .

Thanks my dear friend!

Echoes

When we hear a very strong intense sound [they say there's no loud or low sound, but strong or weak] …it keeps echoing in our ears for a while.

It may even feel like hearing the sound again but we know it’s just the echo.

There are things we experience in life that are so intense that sometimes we can feel like experiencing that again.

But that moment has gone and a new moment has come and still the reality is sometimes confused with what is just an echo.

It will cease at some point. I still hear it though.

Wigs

Some people wear wigs to cover their hair [or the lack of it]  for many different reasons. The main reason I think is to look better and this way feel better.

Sometimes people wear wigs to undercover their reality or part of it, emotional wigs.

I think we all have things we can’t deal well so we choose not to expose it until they get resolved. Keeping secrets is not the same of wearing a wig. Wearing a wig is turning the back on yourself and choose not to deal with your own truth and not accept your reality and your “baldness” on some areas.

In the case of the hair, I think the ones who choose to wear a wig can feel better about their look.

But wearing an emotional wig can really make someone feel better?

Pretty Disturbing

Disturbing things fall in one of the following two lists:

The “LET’S NEVER TALK ABOUT IT LIST”

or

The “WE’LL NEVER KNOW LIST”

Pretty disturbing things fit in both.

Reflections on pain

Sometimes people say  “Don’t do it anymore or don’t go there again, it will hurt even more”.

But when it hurts so much you can only be there once.

Nothing can make you be there twice…not for the same reason…or make it hurt you more, no matter what you do or where you go.

It’s not possible. It’s like getting one of those diseases you can only catch once.

Once it heals you are still vulnerable to other diseases. Except that one.
