Curtúpidas: Curtas e estúpidas
Reflexões que faço para não enlouquecer. Algumas são curtas, outras são estúpidas, e algumas outras são curtas e estúpidas. Whatever... Eu só quero me livrar de tanta coisa no meu peito. Se é curta ou estúpida, fica a critério do leitor. Enjoy it!

tomorrow
I'm writing the performance for my students.
It is about what's happening right now.
As a middle school teacher, I can not end a performance in sadness, in a dark place...
So I was looking for hope...
but I found none

belonging x fitting in
We all want to belong, that's the obvious part.
But
what many of us miss in that journey is the fact that belonging doesn't mean
fitting in.
Sometimes,
to fit it to belong, we cut out parts of our selves, which is also obvious in a
way. It does take a while, though, to understand that bit.
I
guess what I am trying to say is that if you are trying to fit in to belong
somewhere, you don't belong there.
Belongingness
comes with acceptance. You accept yourself so you fit within yourself. Others
accept you for who you are, not because you amputed parts of you to fit within
a group or a person.
They
can support you, hug you, accept you, understand you, but they can not go under
your skin and make your feel a thing. They shouldn't.
Don't let anybody get under your skin. That is a holy place where only you belong.
That
happens because is no one's job to make you feel good, but yours only. You are
the one in charge of your own existence. Do not expect what should come from
within be supplied by anyone else, because that's impossible.
If
you feel like yourself, if you love yourself, if you accept yourself for who
you are, it doesn't matter what other people think. Because the ones who truly
love and accept you, they will never ask you to cut off or to add on
anything.
Of
course, everybody changes, we are always evolving and it's part of our journey
in this life.
But
evolution doesn't look like changing the essence of you. Evolution looks like
understanding that everyone is on their own journey flying solo through this life
trying to do the best out of it.
Find
those who enhance your own essence, and maybe are in a closer place in their
journey as you are.
When
we try to mingle with people that are either ahead of us or too far behind, we
will feel exhausted and unhappy.
Don't
rush to catch up with anybody.
Don't
slow yourself down to wait for anybody.
Just
keep going at your own pace.
There
will always be some people around.
Is
just a matter of finding those that would understand where you are and what you
came through. These are your people.
Anyone
else will not understand because they can't. They are in a different state of
their evolution and will only frustrate you to expect from them any
understanding.
It
can be scary to walk alone. But if you think about it, we are the only ones
inside our heads, with our thoughts, our pain, and fears.
It
will be fine if you stick to those who truly belong with you. For those you
won't need to change your essence... You will refine your essence as you walk
along.
