Ninguém é igual a ninguém. Todo ser humano é um estranho ímpar.

beats the hell out...
A couple hundred years ago Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that 'til tomorrow, which you can do today.
This is the man who discovered electricity; you'd think we'd pay more attention to what he had to say.
I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear if just of making a decision. Because... What if you're wrong? What if you make a mistake you can't undo? Whatever it is we're afraid of, one thing holds true: That by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it, it can feel like we're carrying around a giant tumor.
'The early bird catches the worm.' 'A stitch in time saves nine.' 'He who hesitates is lost.'
We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time; heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrows run until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant.
That knowing is better than wondering. That waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of not trying.

All I want...
...is someone I can't resist
I know all right I need to know by the way that I got kissed...

decifrando sonhos
Esses sonhos que não precisam ser decifrados... Como dão trabalho...
São tão explícitos e óbvios que colocam um sorriso no rosto e "blush you" só de pensar...
Minha amiga disse que eu deveria contar meu sonho àquele que se intrometeu em meu subconsciente. Mas e a coragem? Mandas pelo correio?
Éééé...
Tens sugestão?
