é que hoje estou de porre com o romantismo
foi só lembrar da profundidade dos teus olhos claros, que me veio à tona essa ressaca desgraçada de te amar por um dia. sou efêmera, curta e opaca. talvez durasse pouco por conta da minha pressa com a felicidade, ou talvez por um talvez que não sei declamar em versos soltos. o sol me engolia feito tua língua, as nuvens me exitava e o teu suor está cravado em meu peito até hoje. tocaste canções de amor e eu entediada queria mais um trago da tua saliva, mas em troca cantaste cartola em meu ouvido surdo. desculpa por ser ríspida e chorosa ao mesmo tempo, mas o insensato que me satisfaz. cartola não me faz, se por um dia não me entendeste, é porque não me amaste da mesma maneira que ama tua vitrola. sou feita por vozes rasgadas de punk rock e delírios do cotidiano. mas logo hoje, acordei de porre com o romantismo e coloquei cartola pra te amar novamente, escutar do teu timbre rouco e me perder em cada verso de amor.
talvez eu te ligue ou mando uma mensagem tosca, com este bilhetinho amarrotado, talvez… só um talvez, talvez você é meu talvez e eu preciso do talvez, assim como preciso de cartola.

"Não é atoa que a gente nasce chorando. Não é pelo acaso do destino, que ao vir nesse mundo, a única..."
“Não é atoa que a gente nasce chorando. Não é pelo acaso do destino, que ao vir nesse mundo, a única coisa que nossos olhos conseguem fazer é transbordar lágrimas. A vida é mais inteligente do que a gente pensa. Ela nos prepara para o pior porque sabe que a partir daquele momento, a gente assina a nossa sentença e é obrigado a se relacionar com alguém. Mãe. Pai. Amigos. Namorados. Pessoas. Todas vão nos decepcionar desde cedo. E ninguém pode mudar isso. A gente vai ficar triste por querer ver aquele filme de terror ou o programa de televisão que passa depois das 22 horas, mas não podemos porque aquele já é o horário de estar na cama. E a gente chora, mas acaba entendendo porque é para o nosso próprio bem. As nossas lágrimas não deixam de cair quando a gente, ainda sem noção da vida, quer muito uma coisa, esperneia, berra, grita, mas o nosso pai ainda não recebe o suficiente pra isso. E aquele joelho ralado que ganhamos porque subimos numa árvore alta demais brincando de esconde-esconde. E a gente chora de novo porque o Merthiolate não ia arder, mas arde. Tem o melhor amigo que todo mundo faz desde cedo, que cresce junto, brinca junto, briga junto e até dorme junto porque a inocência é mais alto que a malicia de pensar qualquer outra coisa. E corta o coração quando percebemos que outra pessoa está fazendo nosso papel e a amizade já não é mais a mesma. E a gente continua chorando porque a dor da troca é mil vezes mais intensa que qualquer outra dor. Mas de tudo, de todas as decepções que a gente está sujeito a enfrentar nessa vidinha, só uma vai ser mais dolorosa que todas: Quando a gente amar de verdade. E se decepcionar de verdade. Quando a gente entregar nosso coração pra alguém, e não receber nem uma artéria invertebrada em troca. Só isso vai fazer cada veia do nosso corpo doer sem cura. Somente esse choro, o único que vai parecer interminável e sem solução. Porque dessa vez, a gente não vai chorar por ter nascido, e sim porque algo dentro de nós morreu.”

Sem nome,
Ontem eu te vi. Não sei se foi a cidade que me deixou nostálgica ou se foi o cheiro do sonho da padaria da esquina que impregnou em minhas narinas às 7h da matina. Acontece que te senti aqui, talvez nas vagas redondezas das avenidas em que pisei, você esteve por lá. Não sei se sozinho ou acompanhado de orgulho, ou se igual a mim, acompanhado de saudade. Cá estou eu com uma bagagem imensa de saudade e indiferença. De você herdei ambas, acumulei as roupas sujas como quem queria lavá-las tudo de uma vez, assim ficaria livre a semana inteira. Faria isso com a saudade também, deixaria acumular até transbordar no baldinho da solidão, mas tirei essa sexta-feira para colocar tudo em pratos limpos. Ou devo dizer, tudo em sentimentos limpos. Não sei o que me deu, não sei de nada desde que partiu. Não sei se fiquei bem ou se fingi distração e sorrisos para todas as faces que eu conversei nas últimas semanas. Não faço a menor ideia se fingi sentimentos no último beijo que me roubaram no teatro municipal da minha cidade. Talvez eu quisesse te esquecer nas gavetas da minha cômoda ou nas vielas que ligam a minha rua com a sua. Acontece que eu não sei te esquecer, nem mesmo saberia cuidar de mim sem você. Mas pelo visto você sabe exatamente como fazer isso. E eu que não sou de me surpreender com quase nada, estou realmente surpreendida com a sua incapacidade de amar de verdade.
Não volte.

Here’s Why People Leave Too Easily When Things Get A Bit Tough
“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.” — Barbara de Angelis
There is a deeper level of love that only some know about.
We all know the feelings of love, lust, desire, flirtation. We all know what how it feels to want another human being. But do we ponder enough what it means to be in a relationship? To enter a formation of two people together, learning and growing with each other? No bond between two people is like any other. This makes all relationships incredibly unique and powerful. But are we looking at our relationships with true love.
Life coach Garrison Cohen speaks about a theory for relationships using pitted fruit as a metaphor. He refers to the phrase “It’s the pits,” meaning that something is worthless and holds no meaning when talking about the stone inside the delicious exterior. As humans, and as is the same in nature, we are all one — we are drawn in and excited by the sweet, juicy flesh of the fruit, the outer layer. It is delicious and satisfying and we devour it. Yet, when we reach the pit inside, we throw it away. We deem it useless and toss it to the ground. What we do not appreciate is that it actually can be potted back into the earth and will again grow life. It is the source of life, and yet we treat it as if it is useless because it does not give us instant gratification. We do not wait to see what life grows from it.
Imagine your relationship is like this fruit. We enter the honeymoon phase and devour the sweetness of each other, we satisfy our cravings by enjoying each other’s wonderful exterior — the fresh sweetness we are initially drawn to. But then, perhaps, things don’t go so sweetly. Perhaps the two of you reach a point in a discussion where you don’t agree. Things may not run so smoothly as both of you are afraid of what is happening. Maybe one of you or even both of you run away from the rising tension rather than confronting it. There are valid reasons why people leave relationships, but how often are we culprits of leaving too soon? How often do we leave because we are afraid of the pit, and not because of any other reason?
When we have devoured all the ripe fruit, we find the seed and sometimes we decide to go no further. We do not always take the time with each other to see what else will grow when we nurture the inside of us — the parts of us that are perhaps not so juicy and sweet.
The pit represents the breakdowns, the flaws as such, that are a real and inevitable part of every human being. The pit is as much a part of the fruit as anything else, and its role is just as important. And if we give time to the breakdowns, to the pits, if we accept them for what they are and embrace them with honesty, we give ourselves the potential to grow. We can look at the darker sides of ourselves, the selfish parts, the scared parts. We all have them. No soul is perfect, and we are all doing the best we can with what we have. But if we look at ourselves as a whole, we might find that we can dig a little deeper, with richer rewards. We can give each other the potential to further our relationship, to understand that we can evolve with nurture and care. We can always find something beautiful in the breakdowns.
This is not to say to sit “down in the dumps,” but it is wise not to resist being “in the pits.” We can appreciate the hard times and just sit with them, knowing it is reality, that it is part of life and part of you. We cannot avoid breakdowns and hardships — they are how we appreciate the good things in life, they are a part of the balance. We could not have summer without winter first. And we cannot have the fruit without the seed.
In relationships, we have the potential to go on an incredible journey and adventure with another person. If we don’t run away when things get tough, we allow ourselves to learn, to love, and to grow. In this respect we enjoy a far richer life than those who skim the surface, who only eat the good parts and throw away the rest. So consider the pit next time you enjoy your favourite (pitted) fruit. Take a moment to consider the life inside it, and toss it somewhere you know it will grow into beauty.

10 Little Things You Can Do to Trick Your Body Into Eating Less
Losing weight is probably right up there with the many wishes and yearly resolutions made by millions, if not billions, of people all over the world. That may sound like an exaggeration, but it’s most likely true. I mean, people have transitioned from eating to live to living to eat. Some get to control their appetite; for others — not so much.
Fret not: there are still plenty of ways to curb your appetite and no, you won’t starve, and that’s a promise. All you have to do is trick your body into eating less. We’ve gathered the 10 of the best little things you can do to hack your hunger hormones.
1. Drink more water.
This is probably the easiest hack. Water has plenty of health benefits and one of them is its ability to make us feel full. The best way to go about it is to drink 4–6 glasses of water 15–30 minutes before a main meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) so your stomach would only have space for the food you have to eat. The best part? Water contains NO CALORIES. Awesome, right?
2. Use smaller plates.
Many people think this trick doesn’t work, but we say they’re just not trying. The hack in this is conditioning your body into thinking it’s eating a whole plate of food. People have a tendency to fill up their plates the moment they see a food source, so why not make the plate smaller and still end up full?
3. Keep away from the source.
Seeing food is enough to make us want to eat even if we’re not really hungry. This is quite troublesome when it comes to parties or buffets where food is literally about to spill from the tables. What you can do is pick the food you want to eat and step back and walk away. It’s like a mantra: see no food; eat no food.
4. Chew your food more.
Our stomach isn’t a good appetite sensor and takes a while before it signals us to stop eating. By the time it does, we’ve already consumed half the pizza. Chewing your food more lets you spend more time eating one bite before going for the next. This allows our stomach to properly notify our body if it’s full without overeating. So not only do we eat less, but there’s more pizza for everybody!
5. Eat vegetables first.
Vegetables are a good source of all that is healthy and good in the world. One of those healthy and good things is fiber, and fiber happens to be a great appetite suppressant. It works like water since fiber makes us feel full even if we only eat a few bites of it. It’s good for digestion too, if you know what I mean.
6. Don’t buy snacks or sweets.
The mere sight of snacks and sweets make us go “I want food” and we can’t help it. Snacks and sweets are visually attractive and salivating and the more we see them, the more we eat them — but they’re pretty high in empty calories. Removing them from your fridge or food cabinet will make you control your appetite more.
7. Talk to people.
Talking to people while eating helps curb appetite. Just like the “chew” hack, talking allows the passage of time and makes our stomach properly detect if we’re still hungry or already full. By the time you finish discussing the latest “Game of Thrones” episode, you’ll be full enough to take your leftovers and store it in the fridge for another day.
8. Stack up on fruits.
This is the exact opposite of buying snacks and sweets. If you have to eat something, at least choose a fruit. Not only are they healthier for you, but they also make you feel full faster.
9. Portion, portion, portion.
Plan your meals as far as a week ahead if you can. Pack the food you need to eat daily in small containers and remove one for each day. This way, not only do you get to control the amount of food you eat, but you also get to save money by sticking to your budget. Two birds with one stone!
10. Eat when you need to eat.
The last hack is all about mental discipline. Before you open up a bag of potato chips or pop open a can of soda, ask yourself: “Am I really hungry? Am I going to let this snack get the best of me?” Sometimes you just have to fight with yourself, but so long as you keep an eye on the finish line, you’ll always make the right decision.

Which One Is More Like Your Kitchen? It Might Reveal Your Diet And Health
Rising rates of people who are overweight or obese is a problem both in the United States and around the world. One of the reasons for this is that weight gain (and loss) is more than just about eating fewer calories or exercising more. Hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, and even the environment can affect the way weight is gained and lost, and a new study out of the University of New South Wales in Australia underlines just how important the environment can be to a healthy diet.
The Experiment
Chaotic Kitchen
Neat Kitchen
In order to understand a little more about the relationship between stress, eating habits and the environment, 100 college students were chosen to participate in this study. The students were divided into 2 groups, one being placed in a neat and tidy kitchen environment while the other was placed in a kitchen which was chaotic and cluttered. Once there, the students were encouraged to think and talk about times they had felt in control of a situation and times when they had felt stressed or out of control. Cookies, crackers, and carrots were provided to the students as part of the study.
The Results
The result of this study were starker than many of the researchers had expected: the students who were in a more chaotic frame of mind and in the cluttered kitchen ate more of the cookies than those who were situation in the neat and tidy kitchen. As a matter of fact, they ate more than twice as many calories as the other students.
The research suggested that eating in a chaotic environment is not recommended for those who are wanting to lose weight or to keep it off, as it encourages overeating and makes it easier to consume more calories than you realize, making it easy to put on weight and to derail attempts at weight loss.
Researcher’s noted that “Although a chaotic environment can create a vulnerability to making unhealthy food choices, one’s mindset against the environment can either trigger or buffer against that vulnerability.”
Reasons for The Students’ Behavior
The reasons for the behavior the students in the chaotic environment are not, perhaps, surprising, considered that other studies have found that the mental chaos which arises from being in a cluttered or chaotic environment can easily lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. Part of this is because that when the body feels like it is under stress — as it can do in a surroundings that are chaotic — it produces chemicals and hormones that make it easier to gain weight. One of those chemicals is called betatropin, which blocks the activity of an enzyme that burns fat and cortisol, a hormone which rises in response to stress and which signals to the body that it needs to store fat, particularly in the abdominal area.
What to Learn from This Study
This might be a small study, but there are a lot of important lessons to take away from it. The most important lesson to learn is that chaos and clutter around the house really can affect the quality of your environment — which, in turn, can affect your eating habits. The trial mentioned above is not the only one to find this link: another study in 2008 found that people who struggled with organizing their homes or work spaces were 77% more likely to be overweight or obese. Thus, while it may seem difficult to do, decluttering your home and providing yourself an organized, neat environment to be in can actually help your efforts to lose weight.
The Importance of Decluttering
This study underlines the importance of decluttering one’s life in order to reduce stress (and cortisol levels) in order to make it easier to lose weight, and while decluttering won’t happen overnight, you can make a difference if you are persistent and take care of the problem over time.
Tips for a good clean-out include:
- Making sure you have the materials (such as storage bins) ready ahead of time
- Choosing one area at a time to work on for decluttering
- Buying the products (such as hooks for car keys or filing cabinets for papers) that are tailored for your particular needs.
- Be sure to sort papers into “like” piles to make it easier to organize and file them.
In short, decluttering might feel like a lot of work — and even seem overwhelming at times — but as studies like this one show, the short— and long-term benefits you will derive from this activity more than make up for the effort you will put into it.

Guys, Want To Sleep Better At Night? Cuddle Your Partner Beside
Most attached men would find themselves wanting to be able to sleep alone sometimes because their blankets get snatched away, they get kicked at night and worst, if their partners are heavy snorers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that these men will get exactly what they wish for – better sleep. Cuddling up to your partner beside could be the answer on how to sleep better. Read more to find out why!
Sleeping Longer and Better Than The Opposite Sex
In a recent study, researchers who posted in the journal, Behavorial Sleep Medicine, revealed that while most men and women reported better sleep when sleeping with a partner, there was one gender who slept longer and knows how to sleep better when curled up alongside their partners and it was the men!
For the study, 15 twenty-something couples were made to sleep with each other and alone for 5 consecutive nights in different settings and were instructed to keep a sleep diary and wear activity-monitoring bracelets. Scientists wanted to find out whether different locations such as his or her place and whether sleeping alone or together affects sleep in couples.
As they had revealed in the journal, the location did not matter and couples sleep just as well in each other’s houses. However, women received the same quality of sleep whether it is with a partner or not, which makes us kind of wonder why is it that it defies the evolutionary assumption of women feeling more secure due to their smaller frame and muscles and hence, are able to sleep better than men with a partner.
Women Sleep Just As Well Without A Partner
According to researchers, it can be argued that because men are more prone to sleep apnea, their snoring and loud breathing could be disrupting the deep sleep of which both women and men crave for and thus, women are happy just the same if they’re sleeping with or without a partner.
To add on to this surprising find, psychologist Wendy Troxel isn’t surprised that men fare better on shared beds and said that studies have shown that men are very dependant on close and committed relationships as compared to women. Her research managed to show that married men are much happier and healthier than single men while her findings were very inconsistent among women.

This Beautiful Poem Shared By A Boy Tells How It Feels To Live With Autism
Understanding autism may not come easily for some people, especially for those that don’t have personal experience with the disability. Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. According to TACA, as of 2015, 1 in 45 children have autism.
As per the National Autistic Society, there is no known “cure” for autism, but their understanding has grown tremendously, making more interventions available to help those that are diagnosed with autism.
Benjamin is a 10 year old little boy with Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism. He was asked to write a poem at school for National Poetry Month, “I Am”. The first two words in each line of the assignment were provided, and it was up to Benjamin to fill in the blanks. As Benjamin pours his heart out through the words of his poem, the bittersweet truth hits home to many. What started as a simple school assignment has since gone viral after Benjamin’s mother shared her son’s poem on the National Autism Association Facebook page.
Understanding autism is even more difficult for children, so we as parents should discuss it with them, and encourage our children to be kind to one another, no matter what our differences are. No child, with or without special needs, should be laughed at by their peers, made to feel “out of place” or inferior. Benjamin, if you are out there somewhere reading this right now, know that you are loved!
