One of the favourite verses I wrote in Call it What You Want, because it reminds me how awesome and adorable but badass awesome Goku is :) And how Vegeta secretly respects him, not realising that the fact that he can even notice/observe this means he’s pretty badass himself.

(Thanks to @agentpigeonton for highlighting this <3 love you)

I will continue CIWYW after AO is complete, simply because the switch between past and present tense can be quite jarring

The Sequels of Time Travel and Pain

People often laugh at the fact that the circle that rounds some words in my right arm is the glass mark of a sweated beer. I usually see this when I take a second to check my surroundings with a handcrafted in my hands and think of a girl that I have been loving for maybe too long now. I have never given her my life, or nearly a part of it, but she has taken everything away from me. When I look into the past, I see so many parts of myself, and she is there. But lately, a new order of memories is making the eyes at me and it is like one of my wildest dreams come true: the understanding of a natural-life condition that leads and holds the north of my own life. However, I totally understand that the idealization of me is a constant event I must live with, for which I have decided to shake hands with the past and make a wink to this brand new chance you are giving me.

Con ropa o sin ella, durmiendo o recién bañada, viéndote llegar de frente o mirando cómo caminas por detrás, sentada junto a mí o lejana en tu sofá, tu me gustas toda, como sea...

Note to self, never wait for two years for someone to wrap up an LDS Mission. They will change so much they won't be the same person you recognized from before. It hurts but it's the cold hard truth. However a mission is not a bad endeavor, I just never felt right about serving one myself and I can't refuse to feel regret for it on occasion. I have felt conflicted by the church my whole life as I have searched high and low for truth. A lot of us feel uncertain like me; it doesn't mean we don't love the Creator! It just means I am not so certain about the institutions that seem to be created by Men? Maybe with another attempt at building my faith this outlook on man-made religions will change and perhaps I won't have such a difficult time with my Mormon faith? I do know that the Creator loves me and I do have a personal relationship with him but it has been mostly between Him and I and not with some middle man or a specific church. Heavenly Father has picked some interesting paths for me regardless. In my own community I have witnessed a fair share of Pharisees, Sadducees, and people who wear this Mormon religion on their sleeve for social status; I can't help but think Jesus wouldn't be angered by that? I'm a sinner, myself, not going to lie, but this is coming straight from the heart and I want everyone to know that I love and fear God. I am also imperfect and weak and want to be a better human! Maybe some of you will appreciate this insight and others will see me as lost or hard hearted. I am neither; I'm just struggling because the more I have learned the less I know now...I think one thing is fore sure: SOME of my LDS colleagues will appreciate the honesty in this post knowing now that I have never shared these inner thoughts in the post publicly but this is who I am right now! #ldsman #selfportrait #travelor #explorer #outdoorsman #dreamer #myself #tbirdnation #outsidetbird #goodguy #instrospective #lds #mormon #utahphotographer

Pôr do Sol

Ontem eu vi o céu. O Sol me chamou. Ele se despedia num espetáculo silencioso e dançante, Numa música que só os atentos ouviam. Brincava por entre as árvores e nuvens no horizonte e era quase possível olhar diretamente pra ele. Os pássaros pareciam dançar aos pares, e as nuvens também. Era lindo, colorido, um show à parte. As cores migrando do amarelo, para o laranja e finalmente para o rosa e roxo.

Fechei os olhos por um momento para fazer uma oração silenciosa, mas senti algo bater no meu lábio superior. Abri os olhos como quem é chamada para ver algo, e não fechei mais.

Só consegui sair dali quando o último tom de rosa sumiu. Perdi a noção do tempo, mas facilmente um hora se passou comigo em pé, de pijama, apoiada à janela, num friozinho de fim de dia.

Me imaginei voando com os pássaros e no meio das nuvens, douradas e depois cor de rosa, em movimentos leves, livres e ritmados.

Não havia celular para registrar o momento, mas esse com certeza ficou gravado em mim. O Bing Bong nas nuvens, me lembrando de ir até a lua, As fadas, os peixes e as sereias nas nuvens, me lembrando da minha essência, Os pássaros, e até patos, voando no céu me lembrando da leveza e da liberdade que me habitam.

Por fim não resisti e cantarolei uma canção inventada, e um pássaro parou para ouvir, e mais outro e depois mais outro. E enquanto cantarolava eles olhavam pra mim, cantando também quando eu parava.

Não foi só um pôr do sol, não foi só um presente sensorial, foi uma lembrança para ser eu, sempre.

Com um coração leve e cheio de gratidão, me despedi agradecendo pelo presente tão simples e especial.

Cansaço

Hoje eu fui cansaço. O cansaço que se transformou em raiva, em ansiedade, em desânimo, em choro.

Cansaço pra tudo e todos, até pra dor. Um choro sufocado, uma respiração entrecortada, uma vontade de deixar de existir.

Mas vou descansar, vou deixar que as lágrimas venham clarear, que o coração cansado descanse.

Há esperança, de que seja uma fase, um processo, uma dor do luto e da luta. Que uma hora fica mais fácil, fica mais leve, e que tudo encontre seu lugar.
