just, just, just

Let me introduce you to the most evil word in the English language:

"Just."

Stick it near the beginning of some advice, and you can turn someone else's vicious lifelong struggle into a trivial task they should feel ashamed for not having mastered by now.

misophonia is a condition in which a person reacts extremely negatively to certain sounds that most people take little or no notice of.

mondays

most people hate mondays. luckily for me it just means it's time to get addicted to some random song i heard on spotify's discover weekly.

but are we, but are we
drowning butterflies
forever swimming in circles

para além da forma

As pessoas acreditam que dependem do que acontece para serem felizes, ou seja, que são dependentes da forma. Não se apercebem de aquilo que acontece é a coisa mais instável do Universo. Muda constantemente.

Um Novo Mundo, Eckhart Tolle

beautiful hell

i wonder how Agab can feel this much
how Agab can feel that something this big
how it multiplies in my veins
and in my blood and
how it triggers itself in my thoughts

and I keep on falling

update

diz que andei a actualizar um dos desenhos que tenho à venda no society6, e a terminar outro de que falava aqui.


agora sim, diria que se parece com a Delevingne...


quanto a este já o meti e tirei da loja umas 3 vezes porque nunca estou satisfeita com o contraste, quando em comparação com os outros. já não sei se é este que está claro demais ou os outros que estão escuros de mais.

far far away

It's strange, the way a person's life can feel so far away,
Although the claims of its existence are encountered everywhere

quase me esquecia do quanto gosto de Chan-wook Park. ansiosa em ver este.

the desire to achieve

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve,
not by the desire to beat others.

by Ayn Rand

The 3 P’s

Perfectionism, procrastination, and paralysis – one often leads to the next, in a vicious cycle, especially on large, long-term projects with no clear deadlines.

The procrastination and paralysis that result from overly high standards causes the perfectionist to wait until it's too late, then rush to do something; anything.

This sums up my life as an artist.

layer upon layer

She'd wrapped layer upon layer of solitude around herself to protect her from a gaze, yet she wasn't exactly sure whose. If she was really honest with herself, she knew it was her own eyes watching her, but she nevertheless kept wrapping that solitude around her; there was nothing else to do.

To Mervas, Elisabeth Rynell

fight the fear

We are not facing a refugee crisis. We are facing a crisis because we do not embrace, we do not sympathise and we cannot give up fear. Art can encourage so I hope this project will help fight the fear in all of us.

a state of mind

Hell is not a place, it's a state of mind and body.
It's an obsession with a voice, a face, a name.

Phantom, Susan Kay

alone again

no use looking out
it's within that brings
that lonely feeling

trust yourself

Works of art are of infinite loneliness and nothing can reach them so little as criticism.


Letters To A Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke

Relato com um fundo de água

Era perfeitamente natural [...] que te lembrasses dele na hora das nostalgias, quando nos deixamos corromper por essas ausências a que chamamos memórias e é necessário remendar com palavras e com imagens tanto vazio insaciável.

Final do Jogo, Julio Cortázar

Ulysse

finding music while i do some research at work is one of my favorite things.

update

working on a new drawing for my Society6. that damn shop looks so sad and lonely, i need to do something about it.

my hands burn all the time

Everything we touch
burns away, whether we give ourselves
or not, the same April day spreads to thinness,
the same winter afternoon
thickens to dark. I was thirty-eight years old.
Every time a door opened
I expected you. For months I hid your clothes
stiff with blood.


Skin Divers, Anne Michaels

Mixtape

we are intermittent creatures

The division of one day from the next must be one of the most profound peculiarities of life on this planet. We are not condemned to sustained flights of being, but are constantly refreshed by little holidays from ourselves. We are intermittent creatures, always falling to little ends and rising to new beginnings. Our soon-tired consciousness is meted out in chapters, and that the world will look quite different tomorrow is, both for our comfort and our discomfort, usually true. How marvelously too night matches sleep, sweet image of it, so nearly apportioned to our need.


Iris Murdoch

Celestial Dynamics

este video deu-me uma vontade imensa de ir para a cama ouvir a música da Björk até adormecer

A journey across the stars and heavens through antiquated astronomical diagrams.

dissolving into foam

You can plan all you want to. You can lie in your morning bed and fill whole notebooks with schemes and intentions. But within a single afternoon, within hours or minutes, everything you plan and everything you have fought to make yourself can be undone as a slug is undone when salt is poured on him. And right up to the moment when you find yourself dissolving into foam you can still believe you are doing fine.

Crossing to Safety, Wallace Stegner
