“Eu não sabia que ela queria. Ela, não sabendo que eu não sabia, não se deu o benefício da dúvida: Achou que sabia que eu não queria. Então desistiu, pela décima vez. Pelo mesmo motivo que guiaram às outras nove: achar que sabe. E continuou achando. E desistindo. Até que não conseguisse mais se achar no que achava - achou então que não devia mais achar e começou incorrer em acessos de certeza. Só que ela não sabia que devia insistir, porque, achando que soubesse muito e agora tendo certeza, não pôde saber que eu realmente não sabia e não tinha mesmo certeza de nada. Só que eu não sabia que ela achava. Nem que passou a ter certeza. Nem que desistia. Porque eu achava que sabia que ela não queria, também. Não deu, então. Mas daria, se eu soubesse que ela achava que sabia e se ela soubesse que eu não sabia coisa alguma. Até que daria, eu acho. E saberíamos que daria, se achássemos que não sabíamos tanto sobre o que não se pode saber assim, de longe, sem levantar o olhar e dizer que olha, escuta aqui, eu quero, olha, é sério, eu quero tanto tanto tanto tanto, sabe, tanto que nem sei o que achar disso… Mas não. Ninguém levantou os olhos, as mãos, a voz para dizer que sim, para dizer que olha, eu também quero tanto tanto tanto, sabe, acho que a gente devia tentar. O amor, o tão aclamado amor, morreu em algum lugar entre o que se achava e o que se sabia - o que se achava saber. Para evitar o sofrimento, sofremos. Depois, soube que a mãe dela sabia. Meu pai sabia, ela soube depois. Os colegas de time, do trabalho, da faculdade, os amigos de fim de semana, os amigos de todas as horas, as irmãs dela, meu irmão, a dona do salão de beleza, o atendente da cafeteria, o cachorro dela, meu cachorro, a vó portadora de Alzheimer, meu tio falecido, os filhos que ainda não tenho, os filhos que ela teve com outro, a natureza, os demônios, os santos, os deuses. Todos sabiam, soubemos depois. Mas depois, depois de tanto depor, nunca mais soubemos um do outro.”

compostos:

Talvez eu tenha problemas o suficiente pra transferir minha culpa pelos últimos dias, mas a verdade é que eu não sei lidar com o que me consome o peito. E você é feito ácido corrosivo bombeado do meu coração até minhas extremidades. Queria saber te ouvir, te compreender e não te sufocar, mas quando te sinto perto, quero mais é te devorar, te consumir. Sugar sua essência e guardar bem fundo no meu âmago. Eu sou esse buraco negro com a fome de mil galáxias, e você é um corpo celeste atraído pela(s) minha(s) gravidade(s).

hipertrofias:

eu tentei te dizer que eu nunca fui o seu conto de fadas
te abraçar e dizer que: acontece as vezes
essa coisa de você acertar comigo
e eu errar feio na escolha com você
e que tá tudo bem, acontece
a gente erra as vezes e se dói e fere o outro
mas insistir no erro é se machucar ainda mais
e a gente sempre sabe quando dá o tiro certo
mas eu não acertei com você
o tempo passou ligeiro e eu fiquei em ti
mas aqui dentro tudo passou
assim como eu passo
todos os dias e sempre
etérea, volátil, passageira
eu nunca fico aqui ou ali
eu sempre me perco nos vãos
as relações se tornaram algum tipo de prisão pra mim
e você nunca soube bem como perdoar as minhas distrações
eu queria me desculpar
e dizer que o meu coração vai ser melhor amanhã
mas o mundo tenta se aproximar de mim e eu só quero voar.

minha utopia viva

hipertrofias:

me deixa chorar enquanto os rios secam e as flores murcham e as estrelas despencam
enquanto o céu é só uma imagem distorcida da tempestade que me espera
me deixa desaparecer entre os vultos entre os cacos entre os choros reprimidos
me deixa ser o planeta que implode e engole todos os cometas e meteoritos e pedaços de crateras mortas que não existem mais longe do som da tua voz
me deixa eclodir dentro do teu corpo celeste e ser o furação ecoando no teu fundo pintado de azul que quase parece o pedaço mais límpido do oceano atlântico
me deixa chorar enquanto o teu reflexo dentro de mim não é oco e quebradiço
enquanto eu posso permitir que você exista sem me ferir
me deixa te abraçar em silêncio enquanto você é só uma imagem borrada que não fala nem me ouve nem me sente e não termina nunca.

Meditation Can Change At Least 1/3 Of Your Life, Here’s Why

pablo-34

For those of us who have tried meditation, we understand how beneficial it is to our overall health, and particularly for our mental health. For those who suffer from sleep problems, the mindfulness approach is something found to be largely helpful. As sleep roughly amounts to a third of our entire lifespan, give or take a little. In theory, should we perfect the meditation art of mindfulness and rectify our sleep problems, we will have changed our sleeping life – one third of our lives! This is an enormous and hugely important portion of our lives, so taking the time to address sleep correctly will benefit your quality of life immensely.

The Experiment

A clinical trial was developed for older Americans who were experiencing sleep problems. During the trial, the participants were divided into two groups. One group were asked to change any habits that might interrupt their sleep patterns. For example, they stopped drinking coffee well before bedtime, stopped drinking alcohol before sleeping, maintained good sleep hygiene, and developed routines that saw them in bed at a similar time each night.

The other group participated in a six-week mindfulness retreat where they learned the skills of mindfulness meditation from a trained instructor. They were informed of its purpose – the awareness of our thoughts and feelings as they arise in our minds and having no judgment about them. Just acknowledging that they are thoughts, they just exist there, and that there will continuously be a stream of thoughts doing so at all times.

When the study was finished and the results were deciphered, the test concluded that the best results came from the group doing the mindfulness meditations. Those who fully learn the art of mindfulness experience decreased levels of insomnia, depression, and sleep interruption. According to the research leader Dr. David S. Black, the meditations likely reduced action in the brain’s nervous and arousal systems. The wonderful part of this is that there are no side effects, unlike many sleep-inducing drugs you find at pharmacies. In other words, it is the safest practice for helping sleep problems. There are no withdrawals and no unsafe chemical byproducts. It is a purely natural remedy for effective and long-lasting positive sleep patterns.

Researchers Say We’ve Been Underestimating Emojis, Here’s Why

pablo-33

Do you have a friend or family member that litters their emails or text messages with emojis? Maybe this person is passionate about expressing themselves through an emoji — it’s how they communicate electronically. Or you may have a friend that does not use emojis at all.

For the folks that use emojis, the primary reason behind it is to express yourself and to clarify the tone of your message. Many people who don’t use emojis may view them as unnecessary. However, there have been a few studies completed which look into how emojis can affect how people communicate with one another, and the results are quite surprising.

Emotional Contagion In Face-to-Face Communication

Since birth, we have been mimicking each other’s expressions and emotions when we are talking in person. Most of the time, we’re not aware that we are doing this. This is also called “emotional contagion,” which is the occurrence of having one person’s emotions and expressions directly trigger similar emotions and behaviors in others.

Think back to a time when someone shared good news with you. I’m sure you found yourself just as happy, mirroring the same expressions and body language. The opposite is true when someone is upset with you. You may find yourself mirroring the same expression on their face and their body language.

Emotional contagion allows us to show empathy and further build relationships with others. You may think this only applies to face-to-face communication, but emojis actually afford us similar emotional contagion cues.

Then How About Emojis?

Emerging research indicates that when we see specific emojis, our mood changes. Think back to a time when you received a text from a friend or loved one that was coupled with a smiley emoji, how did that make you feel? Maybe you found yourself smiling back at that message? Did your response have a smiley emoji attached?

Whether we are aware of it or not, our facial expressions tend to mimic the emotion of the emoji.

When we communicate face-to-face, we have non-verbal cues being sent our way. These include intonation, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. We use these cues to help convey the specific messages we want others to understand. In turn, we mimic similar gestures, body language, and facial expressions when we are listening to others to show support and acknowledge the conversation.

However, with technology booming and the prevalence of connecting with others electronically, we miss out on several specific non-verbal cues that enhance our communication. I’m sure you have experienced a communication breakdown via text or email. This can happen due to the lack of non-verbal cues that support the messages we want to convey to others.

How Emojis Can Increase Social Intimacy

Stellar communication requires social intimacy. Meaning, we increase the quality of our communications through the disclosure of personal details. But it takes more than just sharing personal experiences and opinions with others to create social intimacy. We must also express our feelings and emotions with others. This is how we build a close relationship and continue to maintain the relationship. You can enlist the help of emojis to help you express your feelings and emotions with others in a digital world.

We immediately recognize when someone takes time to share their emotions with us. The use of emojis increases our intimacy with others. As we increase emojis when communicating with others, our perception of intimacy increases as well. So, feel free to couple a text message with a smiley face or an email with an emoji that expresses your feelings more clearly. Let an emoji complete the emotion you are trying to convey in your message.

Conclusion

Emojis can help enhance how we communicate electronically. The benefits of adding in a smiley face here and there, or whatever emoji you see fit, can provide you with a deeper connection with the person you are communicating with.
