[86 / The Insightful Chat]

Esta foi certamente uma das conversas mais ricas que já tive através do MSN. Ela abordou temas bastante pessoais, mas há algo nela de divulgável: o insight que ela me fez ter.

Como editor desta "filtragem", achei pertinente omitir certas passagens de diálogos sobre temas mais intimistas.

[85 / 21 Things I Also Want In A Lover]

Já que não tem havido um único nome a invadir o meu “departamento emocional íntimo” há alguns meses, talvez não seja má ideia usar este meio para fazer umas filtragens.
A Alanis Morissette escreveu a letra da música “21 Things I Want In A Lover”.

Acho pertinente considerar a minha versão (não sobreposta à da Alanis, mas sim complementar).

Are you visionary?
Are you good at observing others?
Do you often feel the warmth on your brain when you’re engaged in truly deep thoughts?
Do you feel the majority of other people tend to be superficial even when they want to be seriously responsible?
Do you see beyond the phenotype (outfit and looks)?
Do you expand yourself by liberating your thoughts from narrow-minded cultural points of view?
Are you sensitive, competent and reliable?
Do you not steal others’ chances to be heard?
Do you reinforce discreetly those who are really crawling for it, rather than to point it as their flaw before the reinforcement is given?
Do you not mind exposing your pure thoughts even if there is a risk of them being labelled as ridiculous in front of the blind and unsharped minds, believing that someone else in the crowd will be noticing the sublimity of your acts?
Do you feel you can be the safety rope of someone with special qualities (won’t you let that someone down when you know you’re truly needed?)?
Do you respect other points of view and motivations, as long as they’re harmless to the population?
Are you on your way for your plausible internal workings to be widespread?
Do you have a baggage of justified extreme emotions?
Are you afraid of common sense?
Are you adaptable to different relevant contexts?
Are you mentally challenging?
Do you like to explore fruitful minds because you know you can actually learn precious teachings from it?
Do you feel your uniqueness is not understood?
Are you open-minded and experimental?
Haven’t you felt any difficulties at all fitting these 20 aspects (I’m a bit tired of those who fit everything perfectly but just on the surface)?

[84 / One]

Um ano.

Tão diferente é o meu estado actual...

Um ano, do qual pouca foi a relevância das experiências vividas. Daquelas experiências que realmente são positivas e me fazem sorrir, relembrando-as agora sem a interferência subjectiva da proximidade temporal.

Nadar em seco. Sim, é isso o que tenho feito ao longe deste ano.

Se daqui a um ano tiver um discurso completamente distinto, é sinal de que tive sucesso nas minhas mudanças internas que ainda estão em curso.

(Um sincero obrigado à Andreia, porque se não fosse ela, eu não me lembraria do aniversário!)

[83 / Surrounding Garbage]

Era uma vez, num qualquer local deste país, um conjunto de pessoas que numa determinada noite exercia uma actividade denominada de praxe. Todos as personagens e figurantes desta pequena história associariam uma outra palavra a esta noite: “baptismo”.
Uma das personagens que fugazmente é referida nesta história é uma das várias meninas e meninos vestidos de negro. Essa menina dirigiu-se desta forma à multidão de face colorida: “Caloiros, agora cada um de vocês vai ter com o padrinho ou madrinha que escolheram, entregam-lhe a prenda e voltam para os vossos sítios. Depois vão ser baptizados pelos respectivos padrinhos ou madrinhas”. A multidão dissolveu-se e voltou a reconstituir-se num intervalo de poucos minutos.
Os meninos vestidos de negro começaram a falar entre si. Estavam curiosos quanto à distribuição das opções feitas pela multidão.
Uma das meninas de negro de repente surgiu no campo visual de um dos meninos de negro. Ela dirigiu-se a ele com estas palavras: “Com quem é que ficaste?”. “Com a (censurado)”, respondeu ele.
Nesse momento a menina vestida de negro virou as costas ao menino de negro e disse para as suas amigas vestidas de negro, com uma voz desanimada: “Eu já sabia!!... Eu já sabia!!...”.
O menino vestido de negro, nesse momento fingiu que não ouviu e pôs-se a pensar que talvez a menina valorizasse uma das pessoas que compunham a multidão; ou então estava desiludida por não ter sido escolhida por ninguém. Era realmente embaraçoso para ela, caso isso fosse uma realidade.
(Esta pequena história omite agora certas passagens temporais que se traduzem em caminhadas até a uma determinada fonte situada num monte)
Chegadas as personagens e os figurantes ao local, separaram-se os membros da multidão colorida dos membros vestidos de negro. O objectivo? Proceder-se ao baptismo. Assim foi feito.
Durante o processo, o menino vestido de negro prestou particular atenção à menina desconsolada que sofrida e desgraçadamente teve de carregar o pesado e desprestigiante fardo de ter de baptizar não uma, não duas, mas três meninas coloridas. Coitadinha… Deve ser uma experiência horrível não ficar com quatro afilhadas…
O menino vestido de negro confirmou nesse preciso momento a dimensão da lata da menina vestida de negro. Para todo o sempre.
