I’m just a group of 100 trillion of tiny little imperfect cells, working in a perfect synchrony in an amazing biochemical miracle…the rest? It’s only a passionate curious mind, an inert body and an entropic brain! By now, I can proudly say, that I’m a Bioinorganic chemist with a Biochemist soul. Just an ordinary girl, an unstoppable dreamer, an irreverent child, an unavoidable fighter with a schizophrenic and alienated mind ;) Science amazes me and I’m easily impressionable, I’m passionate and I can lightly fell in love with a delightful person, a smile or with a brilliant mind... "A Moral não me ajuda. Sou antagónico nato. Sou uma daquelas pessoas que são feitas para excepções, não para regras" ~ Oscar Wilde Bioquímica e eterna sonhadora, até porque um dia conquisto o mundo, e esse dia será quando menos esperares! Adoro as coisas simples e importantes da vida :D sou feliz, sou diferente, sou a excepção à regra, a rapariga estranha que se pode encontrar em qualquer lado ou em lado nenhum... "An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.'' ~ Niels Bohr

Friendenemies, toxic relationships and people that lift us up!
This episode was amazing! Love every single second of it (watch and get delighted in here). This short cut brings to life some of the things I’ve been thinking about lately. Friendships and breaking up with people that are draining you. You don’t need that many ambivalent relationships in your life. If you think you…

‘I wish I could be who you wanted’
What if I know I am exactly what you want? What if I was afraid of it? What if you’re afraid to accept that you’re exactly what I want? What if we stop wondering about the ‘if only’ and started living? Love, oh love…that magic feeling we all seek. What is love? For me? For me, love is knowing you are the perfection enclosed in incredible tiny bits of perfect…
We have been so hyper-vigilant, so scared, so in ‘fight or flight’, overthinking mode that we often forget to be present, to connect and to feel. We are so ‘busy’ inside our minds, we forget how valuable are those moments of eye contact, those moments when you allow someone to look deep into your soul. Those precious tiny milliseconds when the silence is the sound of happiness, when you allow…

Did you already listen to the recent podcast of Tim Ferriss, The Most Feared and Well-Liked Journalist in Silicon Valley – Kara Swisher? No? Put your headphones on, sit back and listen to this really nice and/or enlightening [if you’re not there yet] podcast. It’s a great lesson on living and parenting done so delightfully right.
I really love being raw ’cause, honestly, I don’t have the time…
Things that make my brain happy : The Legendary Neuroscientist in Impact theory I was addicted to Inside Quest. Then inside quest went on a incredible make over and became…
It’s not ok Yes. I'm a feminist. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a feminazi. You're the one getting the concept wrong and full of annoyingly misleading stereotypes.
I have this thing for poetry. And theater. I’m crazy in love with both. And I couldn’t describe it better than Sarah Kay did, ‘I was fascinated by the idea of spoken-word poetry. I felt that my two secret loves, poetry and theater, had come together, had a baby, a baby I needed to get to know’.
I think my first one, and one of my favorites, was a TED talk from Sarah Kay.
Last week began with a challenge. A friend shared with us her story and she challenged us to walk for water!
I accepted immediately. Why?
Because I need to feel that I’m making the difference. I need to do something, cause ‘No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.’ ~ Aesop
So I started sharing the ‘idea’ with my friends and they hold on to it as me. We were willing to ‘hold…
After some years of disappearing here I am again :)
With the same purpose I was some years ago, sharing with you some of my accomplishments, maybe my routine, my fights, my wins and my lost battles. Basically the things I get committed at.
So…let me get you on track. Let me see what’s new since last time I was here…
I’m living in Barcelona, doing my PhD. Already check out some…
Oh Barcelona, I've told you a hundred times and I'll tell you a hundred more: I love you. I love your art, your complexity. I love the way the sounds play with our smiles and the how the light brings up the best in you. I absolutely love every single thing about you, day and night. Even the most pure expressions of sadness, of tiredness. This sculpture is, definitely, one of my favorites...I could sit there and fall in love over and over again. The beauty and the greatness of it breaks my heart in astonishing ways. 'I have learned that when sadness comes to visit me, all I can do is say “I see you.” I spend some time with it, get up, and say goodbye. I don’t push it away, I own it. And because I own it, I let it go.' ~Carolina Zacaria #1001reasons #1001reasonstolovebarcelona #art #mentesinquietas #overthinking #inquieta #love #lovebarcelona #lovequotes #beautiful #lostinmythoughts #painfulpleasures #inlove #painfullybeautiful (en Plaça de la Catedral de Barcelona)
'Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.' (en Rambla Marina (Bellvitge))
Como dizia o poeta que tanto amo: tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo! E tenho-os! Tenho a sensação que sem querer roubei os sonhos ao mundo... Sonho muito, sonho como se não houvesse amanhã. Sonho com uma rapidez e uma facilidade avassaladora! A maior parte das vezes dou por mim, assustada com os meus próprios sonhos. Mas quando penso nisso doí-me conta que medo de deixar de sonhar com a ambição que tanto me caracteriza. Tenho pânico de estancar. De dizer 'não preciso mais, estou bem aqui quietinha'. Tenho medo de perder a inquietude que tanto me dá a volta à moleirinha. Tenho medo de não querer sair da minha zona de conforto. E quando entro em pânico, fecho os olhos e sonho. Com a possibilidade impossível de realizar todos os meus sonhos. Acho que há apenas uma coisa que faço mais do que sonhar, apaixonar-me! Apaixono-me facilmente por aquilo que me rodeia. Eu acho que é através da admiração e do amor ao próximo que somos capazes de sonhar com aquilo que nos faz vibrar e ter a coragem e a audácia para conquistar os nossos sonhos mais atrevidos! Conquistamos o mundo? #imadreamer #dreambig #AmoPessoa #fernandopessoa #sonho #audacia #amor #coragem #panicattack #imamess #barcelona #streetart #amazingart #inquietante #inquieta #mentesinquietas #1001reasonstolovebarcelona #1001reasons #letsdothis (en El Raval, Barcelona)
Be addicted, love, love like hell but love yourself first. This is the fist step to allow others to love you. And then love insanely, love like you'll loose everything tomorrow. Love everything and everyone cause the world is dying of lovelessness. Love without regrets. Love unconditionally. Love like you're never been hurt, love like you never felt pain. Love like you're soul was set on fire and your heart is full of hope. Love just because... #love #lovebarcelona #inlovewithbarcelona #raval #inspiration #streetart #motivation #passion #1001reasonstolovebarcelona #1001reasons #love #barcelona #lover #imamess #imadreamer (en CCCB)
