Since You're Gone

Since you hide, since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try

Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

I've got a lot more friends and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone

Since you're not what I want
You can take everything I've got
Take a seat, take the drive
If I say I love you, I am a liar
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

Meet my lover "Jen" and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone

I've been looking for a new direction, anyway
I've been looking for my own protection to save

Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone
Since you hide, since you steal

Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat, since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try

Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually

Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, thanks for asking
Quite nicely

THE LANGUAGE CHALLENGE

Portuguese vs. German

Me and my friend Catarina did the "Language Challenge", inspired by the video Felix and Marzia did (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1PJ60mrHQc). We did Portuguese vs. German words and I hope you enjoy!


Thank you for watching!


P.S. I did not put all of the footage and all of the words into this video because I didn't want to keep it that long, so in this video we say exactly 6 words each, not all 11.

Some Poems

I am not really good at writing poems. I don't really respect any "rules" but here are some thoughts I have.

Home

I want to be free like a bird

To fly whenever I want to, with no worries at all

Just like a plane, to rest for some hours

Then take off again, maybe then fall

Into the sky and feel the wind like there's no end

To make every second count, I don't care if it doesn't make sense

My dreams guide me and fill me with hope

I need some time to find myself, to find the place I call home

Infinite Love

I tried to speak up, but it stays the same

No-one cares, no-one gets the game

Life has to move on, life has to change

I wish I was gone already, that I had found my peace

But I stay for you, for you I won't leave

So believe me now, I will always love thee

Try

Home is better

I want to leave this

So I can start ober

And try to see it

All I ever wanted

Some steps away from here

Patience is the key

The key to heal what I feek

Now keeo in walking

Live the day

Think of the happiness

You will feel on that day

Yes, you are

Home is better

Some Thoughts

Sometimes there is no way out.
Sometimes we just think one way and can't change it.
Sometimes we think it's too late when there is actually always another way.
Sometimes we bother with things we shouldn't.
Sometimes we love, even if we know it might bring pain, but that's what makes us stronger.
Sometimes we dream and wish, but forget that the action is what actually counts.
Sometimes we don't know how to deal with pain and end up hurting ourselves in ways we could've never imagined.
Sometimes we forget that strength towards pain will always be rewarded, that it doesn't last forever and that it makes us stronger.
Sometimes we don't see that our happiness doesn't depend on waiting for things to happen, it depends on what we do with our lives, to make the happiness happen.

We are the ones responsible for where, with who and what we end up, we are the ones who make decisions that lead to a certain path in life. Faith, strength and will are what keeps us from breaking down or giving up on our lives. It is what keeps us breathing and facing our fears.
We all have flaws, nobody is perfect. Accept it. We all feel things we don't want to feel but can't avoid. We are just humans, we are people.
 

And I am just a girl, trying to find my place in this world, going through everything that life is made of, just like every single person on this earth.

Paper Towns by John Green

 

 

Some amazing quotes from the book:

 

“What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.”

 

“Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You can see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean, look at it, Q: look at all those culs-de-sac, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.”

“Maybe all the strings inside him broke.”

“Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last; the last shall be first; the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.”

“At some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you'll look back down and see that you floated away, too.”

 

“We bring the fucking rain Q, not the scattered showers.”

 

“I have never really thought of him as a person, either.... A guy whose strings were broken, who didn’t feel the root of his leaves of grass connected to the field, a guy who was cracked. Like me.”

 

“I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating I know I can never go back. But then what? Do I just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?”

“The fundamental mistake I had always made - and that she had, in fairness, always led me to make - was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.”(My favourite moment of the book.)

“How can you seperate those things though? The people are the place is the people.”

 

“I can almost imagine a happiness without her, the ability to let her go, to feel our roots are connected even if I never see that leaf of grass again.' ”

“Leaving feels too good, once you leave.”

“It is so hard to leave-until you leave.”
