para quem gosta de ver timelapses de malta a desenhar tanto como eu, fica aqui o vídeo com o processo desta ilustração. no vídeo não se percebe, mas posso dizer que eu estava em agonia a desenhar o cabelo (é o meu ponto fraco).

Late September rose you can't grow here,
Now wash away the sweet words from your mouth,
Darling days are bleeding into tears,
Give me solitude, I need something new.
Trust me, when I say to go,
Cus you lost me and I just wanted you to know,
That I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so cold no,
O o there you go, my September rose.
people who doubt themselves too much end up engaging in excessive information processing which leads to procrastination and self-handicapping.
self-doubters are also more likely to suffer from depression and social anxiety. some soul-searching and self-analysis can be useful, but too much is a recipe for stagnation.

i'm weirdly proud of myself.

I looked into a void of love. And I fell down. There was nothing else there. No where, where I was no one.

If you are willing to look at another person's behavior toward you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves rather than a statement about your value as a person, then you will, over a period of time cease to react at all.

Let us remember not to ask anything of someone who is drowning.
When a person is breaking, broken, they are so exhausted, so drained. Asking them to come to us and share their brokenness is asking them to do more when all they can do to stay alive is to tread water.

So far you’ve survived 100% of your worst days.
You’re doing great.
all friendships of any length are based on a continued, mutual forgiveness. without tolerance and mercy all friendships die.
[...]
to remain friends we must know the other and their difficulties and even their sins and encourage the best in them, not through critique but through addressing the better part of them, the leading creative edge of their incarnation, thus subtly discouraging what makes them smaller, less generous, less of themselves

You know that bullshit people say about how, when you fall, you gotta get up? I reject that shit man. You know why?
The whole thing is a fall. It can't help but be.
A perpetual state of grasping in the dark.
It's not about getting up. It's about stumbling. Stumbling in the right direction.
It's the only true way to move forward.

Stop blaming me, thinking I'm the problem. If you think I'm the problem, then you have to change me. If you realize that you're the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiser. Most people want everyone else in the world to change themselves. Let me tell you, it's easier to change yourself than everyone else.

There's planets in my palms, if you get bored of my skin, I mean you change with the moon. Habitual rituals. Your smiling and light is my only residual. The first time we met, did you go home and think of me too? Our silence settles strangely now and self consciousness is heavy. I know. People overthink things. Women wreak havoc. Men implode. But don't trouble yourself with my opinions. Just remember me in the morning and carry me home.
How we spend our days is,
of course,
how we spend our lives.

They made us believe that real love, the one that's strong, only happens once, more likely before your thirties. They never told us that love is not something that you can put in motion, neither has time schedule.
They made us believe that each one of us is the half of an orange, and that life only makes sense when you find that other half. They did not tell us that we were born as whole, and that no one in our lives deserves to carry on his back such responsibility of completing what is missing on us: we grow through life by ourselves. If we have a good company it's just more pleasant.
They made us believe in a formula “two in one”: two people sharing the same line of thinking, same ideas, and that it is what works. It's never been told that it has another name: invalidation, that only two individuals with their own personality is how you can have a healthy relationship. It has been made to believe that marriage is an obliged institution and that fantasies out of hour should be repressed.
They made us believe that the thin and beautiful are the ones who are more loved, that the ones that have little sex are boring, and the ones that have a lot of it are not trustful, and that will always have a old shoes to a crooked foot; what they forgot to tell us is that there are more crooked minds than feet.
They made us believe that there's one way formula to be happy, the same one to everybody, and the ones that escape from that are condemned to be delinquents. We have never been told that those formulas go wrong, they get people frustrated, they are alienating, and that we can try other alternatives. Oh! Also they did not tell us that no one will tell those things to us.
Each and everyone of us will have to learn by ourselves. And, when we get to the point that you are in love with yourself first, that's when you can fall in love with somebody.

Rather chase a gentle breeze
Set my thoughts by taller trees
Cause I can’t stay forever

Start where you are.
Start with more and more kindness to yourself.
Start with honesty.
Start with patience.
Start with mindfulness.
Start with being increasingly present.
Start with trying.
Start by saying, "This is not how the story will end."

She said once: I am a shell, and you can hear
the ocean sputter and cough in my bones; I swear,
I would swim, if I weren’t already sinking.

Addiction is just one symptom of the crisis of disconnection that's happening all around us. We all feel it.
Build from the selfless place inside of you that is not big or loud or selfish or proud. Build from that little spot inside of you that burns quietly and unceasingly for others. Remember: whatever is burrowed deep in one hungry soul is bound to be tethered to the hearts of many, many more.

I get up in the morning and I say,
"What am I gonna do that's gonna make me happy today?"
I do that every morning, and I found out that it's the best way to live because you get up and you say
"Well, I'm gonna do this for myself first."

often we ask ourselves
to make absolute sense
out of what just happens,
and in this way, what we are practicing
is suffering,
which everybody practices,
but strangely few of us
grow graceful in.

In this world, you have to be able to nod and smile and drink a pint, and say, "How was your day?" In this world no one can be different or strange or damaged. Or they lock you up. So what do I do know?

In books and films and plays it's always so compelling, so complex. There should be more than one word for love. I've seen love that kills, and I've seen love that redeems. I've seen love that believes in the guilty, and love that saves the bereaved. What we will do for love - die for it...

Happiness is pervasive.
It is everywhere… When we are unhappy it is because something is covering our minds and we are not able to be aware of happiness. When the difficulty is past we find happiness again.
It is not that happiness is all around us. That is not it at all. It is not this or that or in this or that.
It is an abstract thing.
Happiness is unattached. Always the same. It does not appear and disappear. It is not sometimes more and sometimes less. It is our awareness of happiness that goes up and down.
Happiness is our real condition.
It is reality.
It is life.
Agnes Martin

She's gonna learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by band-aids or poetry, so the first time she realizes that Wonder-woman isn't coming, I'll make sure she knows she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself. Because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I've tried.

Perhaps all anxiety might derive from a fixation on moments — an inability to accept life as ongoing.

the people who help us grow toward true self offer unconditional love, neither judging us to be deficient nor trying to force us to change but accepting us exactly as we are. and yet this unconditional love does not lead us to rest on our laurels. instead, it surrounds us with a charged force field that makes us want to grow from the inside out — a force field that is safe enough to take the risks and endure the failures that growth requires.

i want love to be simple. i want to trust without thinking. i want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. it is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. i want to love the whole person, not parts; and this is how i want to be loved.

when despair for the world grows in me
and i wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of that my life and my children's lives may be,
i go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
i come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. i come into the presence of still water.
and i feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. for a time
i rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

To fight unhappiness one must first expose it, which means that one must dispel the mystifications behind which it is hidden so that people do not have to think about it. It is because I reject lies and running away that I am accused of pessimism; but this rejection implies hope — the hope that truth may be of use. And this is a more optimistic attitude than the choice of indifference, ignorance or sham.

in bad dreams
in a cool world
full of cruel things
hand tight
all you
nothing like a big bad bridge
to go burning through
