Sassa in English

Once I fiercely believed falling in love was a bet that I wasn´t supposed to make at all. And I haven´t got a real explanation to that. Solitude was always easier to me and I don´t even imagine why considering I´m good with people or with most of them, at least. But right now I know it´s time to learn how to make it happen in my life. Loneliness isn´t the best answer to those questions I´ve got in mind lately.

I can´t say exactly how but part of me is so absurdly empty… An emptiness full of needs and aches so long forgotten, so long buried that I feigned they never existed. Nevertheless there they are telling me the lie I am even to myself. Pretending and rationalizing are mostly self-serving. You pretend it doesn´t matter, you rationalize your days are perfect exactly the way they are and go on thinking how nice is to live in this fake world were only you see, blindly, the major flaws.

My heart is a little bit tired, a little bit beaten, a little bit worn out at this moment, I know. It isn´t used to feeling much, I´d say, and it felt a great amount of almost everything in those past months. However it´s nearly recovered now, I´m not pushing harder than I could afford today. But I will. Oh, I´m sure I will. Just being fine isn´t good enough, not anymore. What I want is the astonishment of feeling every ounce of life inside me vibrating with the purest pleasure brought by love.

Fear isn´t exactly a choice but courage is.

And my soul isn´t a coward one, as the poetess said.

Bem... imagino que meu inglês esteja bastante enferrujado e que vcs encontrem alguns muitos erros por aqui, mas tentem ser tolerantes, OK? Ah! E gostaria de deixar um beijão pra Mariana Ramalho! Foi uma surpresa mais que agradável saber que vc passa por esses Ecos! Não saia mais da minha vida, viu? Mesmo assim um pouco distante é uma maravilha saber que vc está perto.
