Gratidão, além do sentido literal no dicionário que fala sobre reconhecer o que se recebe de alguém, também tem que ser direcionado a ser grato ao que o universo te manda. As pessoas que chegam, aos momentos que você vive com elas sendo bons ou ruins, etc. Acredito hoje que todas as pessoas que passam pela nossa vida devem despertar de alguma forma nossa gratidão, não só as que nos fazem apenas bem, mas as que nos abalam de alguma forma por nos fazerem aprender algo. Seja grato pelo que aprendeu com a dor, pois é nesse momento que as reflexões são mais latentes e importantes. E é preciso ser grato não só as pessoas que ficam, mas as que sabem que é hora de ir também. Afinal, qual o intuito de permanecer se você não quer ficar e nem colaborar com a pessoa? Ser grato te torna mais feliz, te faz mudar o foco para tudo o que você tem de bom. #reflexões2018#instagood #pensamentos #reflexões #365palavras #365words #365days #365dias #palavras #words #palavrasatemporais 📷 http://ift.tt/2CaEHU8 http://ift.tt/2CooBLb

Silêncio é muito mais que a ausência de palavras e sons. É a presença  de pensamentos e ideias que não são externados. Pode ser considerado egoísta, pois guarda tudo pra si, mas eu o vejo  como o sábio por poder evitar feridas ou que ao falar sejamos interpretados de forma  errada. Mergulhar no silêncio também pode nos trazer grandes descobertas sobre nós mesmos, sobre o meio que estamos inseridos e sobre as pessoas que nos cercam. Ou até mesmo, nos fazer refletir uma opinião que não concordamos, nos levando a respeitar aquele ponto de vista divergente. Aprenda a apreciar o silêncio e a calma que ele pode te trazer após um dia ruim ou muito bom. Deguste nele os seus pensamentos mais íntimos e aprenda a se descobrir nele. #instagood #pensamentos #reflexoes #365palavras #365words #365duas #365days #palavras #words #palavrasatemporais #silence #silêncio #silencio #reflexões2018 (em Ferraz de Vasconcelos)

Ok, this chapter practically got rewritten lmao

 Which is fine because I didn’t like much of the character interaction when I read it over, so! I think it’s better now

 I’m still not cutting down works though like. This draft is gonna be even longer haha so that’s fun.

type under the cut!

OLD VERSION (2017, 365words):

I walked back in through the door and came face to face with my parents, who looked like they’d been waiting.

“What’s this I hear about you having wings?” Mum had her arms folded.

I shot a glare at dad as I closed the door. Did no one leave it to me to speak anymore? “What have you heard?”

“That when you were out with Miroth yesterday, you gained a pair in full view of the flyers and half the town.”

“Well,” I said, tugging off my jacket, “That’s about the gist of it. Did he tell you I didn’t mean to?”

She narrowed her eyes. “Yes.”

But of course she didn’t believe that. “It’s the truth.” I whispered the phrase, and my wings appeared. “I didn’t mean to get them. But I have.”

She stared at them, reached out a hand to touch one.

Rather than answer, I curved the wing she was reaching for so that it bumped into her hand. She flinched and pulled her hand back, then slowly extended it again. At least she didn’t seem inclined to rip me to shreds for it right now.

“Well. What do you intend to do now?” That might still come, of course.

“Now?” I frowned. “What… what d’you mean?”

“Now you have wings, what’s your plan?”

Oh… always wanting a plan. I shrugged. “I’m still going to school, if that’s what you mean.” I folded my wings back. “And Vechtir’s giving me extra lessons on the weekends.”

“So everything is going to work out?”

I shrugged. “Just have to see, I guess.”

Mum nodded slowly. “Well then. I… I had better go and see about tea then, hadn’t I?”

As she walked away, I glared at dad again. “Did you have to tell her?”

“Would you have?”

“Yes!” Well… at some point, anyway. “That doesn’t matter. Dad, it was mine to tell.”

“It is a big thing.” He flicked a glance to my wings. “You didn’t really expect me to keep quiet, did you?”

“Yes! Of course I did.” I rubbed my face. “I guess she knows now. Jerk.” I nudged him with a wing as I slipped past and up the stairs.

NEW VERSION (2019, 446 words):

“Hey, mum.” I leant against the back door, trying not to fold my arms.

“Hi, ‘fern. How are you? How was school?” She kept her eyes on the chopping board and the knife in her hands.

Of course she’s holding a knife when I’m trying to do this. I almost turned and left, but I caught dad’s eye. It would be fine. She might get angry, but... it would be fine.

”Oh - it... it was weird.” I shrugged and ran my hand up my arm, pulling my elbow against my chest. “Um-” I stalled.

She looked up. “Is everything alright? What’s happened?”

“I... I wasn’t at school because the White-Wing needed to talk to me.” I let it out in a rush, in one tight breath.

“About... the ruckus at the fledging yesterday?”

“Mhm.” I nodded. “I... was the rogue flyer?” I flinched away in anticipation.

“You what?” Her voice dropped, almost becoming a growl.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to, it just sort of – happened!” I held my hands up, almost a barrier. “Vechtir says they’ll just bind them, anyway, so there’s... no harm done?”

Something in one of the pans was sizzling. Mum turned down the heat and stirred it, tipping in the veg she’d been chopping.

”I... see.” She spoke slowly. “And when you say you didn’t mean to, it wasn’t planned?”

“No! I don’t - I didn’t wannt to do this! It wasn’t - it wasn’t my... choice.” I was avoiding looking at her.

“Hm.” She pursed her lips and continued sorting tea.

I pressed my back into the window of the door, and found it a cooling relief as it soaked through my cardigan and shirt. “I’m sorry. But it’s not – I don’t think I’ll be keeping them. Which is fine.”

“You’re too young for this.”

“I know.”

“You’re still in school.”

“I know.”

“You have your whole life-”

“Mum. Makers above, I know.” I pushed off the window and leant on the counter instead, coming closer. “They will bind them away and that will be it.”

“They’ve said that?”

“What else are they supposed to do?” I shrugged. “I’m too young, I’m still in school. I shouldn’t have wings.”

She nodded slowly. “Alright.”

“I - what?” I looked up.

“You made a mistake, but you’re working to get it fixed. And no one outside knows?”

“You two, my friends, the town flight.” I nodded. “That’s it.”

“Well.” She speared one of the vegetables. “Can you tell your brother it’s tea time.”

“Uh... sure...” I frowned as I straightened up, and backed out of the kitchen.

That was weird. That was – beyond weird. Not what I was expecting at all.

Medo, não é um sentimento agradável e sempre chega quando a gente menos espera. Pode fazer bem te lembrando de ter cautela ou arruinar um momento bom. Há quem diga que não consiga viver sem ele, há quem diga que nunca fica com ele. Duas mentiras. Somos capazes de superar o medo, mas não somos imunes a ele. Quem nunca teve medo em um emprego novo? De uma escola nova? De ficar sozinho? De alguém que gostamos muito um dia se cansar gente? Entre tantos outros... O medo faz parte de nossas vidas, pode construir ou destruir a gente. Aprenda a lidar com ele, não o alimente, mas o enfrente. Quando você vence um medo, a sensação de liberdade é linda, vale a luta. #medo #fear #instagood #pensamentos #reflexões #reflexoes #365palavras #365words #365dias #365days #palavras #words #palavrasatemporais #reflexões2018 http://ift.tt/2qAR6jd

Perfeição Confesso que duvido que exista um humano perfeito ou que possa alcançar a perfeição em algo que faz. Somos simples criaturas e estamos em constante desenvolvimento. Não entendo a razão que faz com que as pessoas procurem relacionamentos perfeitos, sendo que todos nós temos defeitos. Como alguém que sempre tem o que melhorar, pode esperar que o outro não tenha? E assim nascem relações egoístas, mesquinhas e, possivelmente, sem a possibilidade de muita troca ou aprendizado. Só a natureza alcançou a perfeição, já que em meio a todo o seu "caos" que fascina, o ciclo natural das coisas é perfeito e sempre há o que se descobrir nessa imensidão que vivemos. Busque mais a felicidade nos momentos com os que te cercam e menos perfeição em si é nos demais. Seja assim mais feliz. #perfeição #perfection #instagood #pensamentos #reflexões #reflexoes #365palavras #365words #365dias #365days #palavras #words #palavrasatemporais #reflexões2018 http://ift.tt/2AsIaMa

Aaron and I took 3 hours touring Pinto Art Museum during our first visit last March. Upon realizing how much we’ve missed, I was itching to go back. It took another 3 hours to tour the parts we haven’t been to. This museum is heaven. No place can ever make me feel so light and carefree but this place.

Pinto Art Museum houses contemporary art from various local artists. From installations, to paintings and mixed media, the museum aims to be a gateway for modern and contemporary art, hence its name Pinto meaning door in Filipino.

Hello, Cactus Queen in her cactus haven.

One of my favorite nooks in the whole museum was this rustic dining set overlooking a lush garden. At this point of our tour, I started rambling endlessly on what my future house should look like. Picture below is reference to my future rustic bedroom.

This exhibit dealt with sensual themes which reminded me very much of BenCab’s R18 exhibit up in Baguio. This exhibit was in a small and quiet room, almost intimate just by its setting. This also made me realize how much we’ve missed on our first visit.

To cap our holiday adventure, Aaron and I went to eat dessert at Eggs for Breakfast. Coming to Antipolo felt different the second time around, a good kind of different where the North didn't feel so unfamiliar anymore and going home was the last thing I wanted to do. Maybe it was the lunch I ate or the person I was with or both.

My eyes are very happy. I am very happy.

Amor, há quem pense apenas no amor romântico quando ouve essa palavra, mas é algo bem além disso. E também há quem confunda com a loucura da paixão, mas amor pra mim é calmaria, é querer estar perto e cuidar de alguém. Pode ser um amigo, um filho, um irmão, etc. O amor real, é aquele que transborda e te faz querer bem. É o carinho que vai, mas nem sempre volta. O que não espera retorno, apenas se doa. Não é apenas o que faz sofrer, mas o que faz sorrir apenas por existir. Há diversas formas de amar e há vários estágios no amor, existe a possibilidade de amar alguém que está longe com a mesma intensidade de quem está mais próximo. Também há o amor que se mantém mesmo longe, que não requer a presença física diariamente. Afinal, não é porque alguém está longe, que deixamos de amar. Perto, longe, presente, distante... Sem complicações, apenas amor. #love #amor #instagood #pensamentos #reflexões #reflexoes #365palavras #365words #365dias #365days #palavras #words #palavrasatemporais #reflexões2018 http://ift.tt/2AjJfpN

#002 ; August 29, 2015

Thought: Saturdays are meant for days out, cactus caring, and card games.

I mentioned earlier that I was raising a cactus and two succulents. Susan was named as such because of the 14 boils growing around her, and if you cannot get the joke, it's a reference to British singer Susan Boyle. Pedro was named after Pedro Gil Street, Manila’s most putrid street which I owe some of the best moments of my life as of yet. Finally, Aloe Vito was named Aloe because of its resemblance with Aloe Vera, and Vito from Vito Cruz, another one of Manila’s busy streets with an inside joke coming into play with why it was chosen to accompany Aloe. These three were given as a gift and I cannot wait to care for it and actually see flowers bloom.

Aaron and I settled on a South trip for Saturday’s adventure. Bucky’s was included in my to-go list and I was finally able to get a taste of it, which they kept insisting as not a brownie. Card games followed with Aaron and my siblings, with Aaron teaching everyone how to play. Bucky’s tasted really delicious and is worth the hype. Interiors of the place remained very rustic despite the small space, providing an unmatched ambiance. The Bucky’s tasted really sweet but I loved how moist and thick it was.

August is ending and just like that, we’re onto the -ber months. August was a pretty solid month for adventures. For September, along with homework, orgwork, and thesis work, I wish that none of the plants die. I might have developed the slightest attachment already.

(Thank you for the wonderful gift, Aaron.)
