Things to be thankful for...

Someone, today, reminded me that I should be thankful for many things, so I decided to make a list of the things I should really thank for in my life ...here it goes.

I'm thankful for...

1.My family and all their idiosyncracies
2.The smile of my grandmother
3.My new car (yay)
4.all the valuable lesson's my teachers taught me (mind u, valuable, not the stupid ones)
5.Flunking at math (it made me realize how much I loved words and everything with words related)
6.for my stuffed animals when I was a kid because they were the 1st to express the true meaning of friendship.
7.the 1st person to give me chocolate (thanks Mom=) I knew it would be a long lost love.
8. being able to see the sea. It's truly one of the most beautiful things on earth.
9. for all the kisses given to me while I was growing up because they made me realize how much a human heart needs cuddling and affection to bloom and grow up.
10.All the funny afternoons watching comedies or stand-up shows Which made me value laughter as one of the most important tools to survive in this world.
11. every fall from the swing because they taught me there is always a reason to get up which is another ride in the swing.
12.the taste of red cherries in a summer afternoon (yumm)because they become my fav fruit ever.

MORE TO COME...

The only exception...

The Only Exception lyrics
Songwriters: Farro, Josh; Williams, Hayley;

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing


Listening to this non stop....I wish you were the only exception!

Endings are so sad...Do I really want it to be the end? I just don't know...But I truly feel sad. So sad that I don't understand it. Today I just wished to run away and not feel a thing.

PORTUGALICE

A vida a passar e eu aqui, no mesmo sítio, no mesmo lugar, na mesma situação. As mesmas pessoas, a mesma família, a mesma distância, a mesma coisa. O mesmo em pior. Se calhar estou a ser parva e egoísta e parva à falta de melhor palavra. Parece-me que o meu maior problema é que tenho medo de Viver. Sempre tive. Eis a feliz conclusão. Podia mudar? PODIA, mas não seria a mesma coisa. Seria desconhecido, seria algo fora da minha zona de conforto, seria estranho. EU sempre gostei de "confort zones". Acho que nunca vou mudar. Isso desespera-me. Desespero-me por ser tão queixinhas e lamechas e só me queixar e não fazer nada para mudar.Patético.DESESPERO-ME MAS CONTINUO NA MESMA. CONSEGUIREI algum dia fugir À MINHA portugaliCe?
