The least I can do is care.

"Se calhar, o que a vida nos pode dar é um conhecimento dela que chega sempre tarde demais."

António Lobo Antunes

We can go through life pretending we don't care, pretending we don't feel the things that keep getting thrown at us. It's a comfortable proposition, no doubt, but sooner or later, something will break through and hit us.

We can wish for things that will never be and wonder how it all could be different. Truth is, though, those things will never be and nothing will ever be different.

The sooner you realize this and accept that very few people will ever deserve your respect, the sooner you'll be ok with yourself and the world around you, the sooner you'll enjoy life. Make sure you remember to laugh at yourself often. Our own miseries are probably the best reason we have to laugh. It puts perspective where we would otherwise have none.

With all that said, enjoy. We all struggle, but it's not worth it. There's always someone worth your time. To those who have been there for me, the very least I can do is care.

Just let the world we know disappear.

"Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas, que já têm a forma do nosso corpo, e esquecer os nossos caminhos, os que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares. É o tempo da travessia. E, se não ousarmos fazê-la, teremos ficado, para sempre, à margem de nós mesmos."

Fernando Pessoa

Lessons to be learned.

"Virtue is not knowing, but doing."

Japanese Proverb

Loose ends.

Most of the time, it's simply too difficult, too scary. It's only once you've stopped, that you realize how difficult it is to start again. So you force yourself not to want it, but it's always there. And until you finish it, it will always be.

Closure does not exist.
