Le rôle d’un ami, c’est de se trouver à votre côté quand vous êtes dans l’erreur puisque tout le monde sera à côté de vous quand vous aurez raison.
Mark Twain
A la fin, nous nous souviendrons non pas des mots de nos ennemis, mais des silences de nos amis.
Martin Luther King
Ce mot troublé n’est jamais envahissant Ton silence n’est pas éxasperant O teu sorriso ilumina o dia mais cinzento E mostra o que melhor levo dentro Tu cariño me llena de confianza Y transforma mi miedo en esperanza You picture the world And take it as a whole Sei più di un amico o di un fratello Sei unico e bello.
What if we only have two minutes left? What if the stars fall from the sky? What if our friends are no longer here? What if the sea drowns all the fishes? What if there is no future anymore? What if Earth swallows us all? What if our family leaves us behind? What if the sun doesn’t rise? We must not waste time Let’s go!
45 years of ups and downs The Earth keeps turning around Friends and family are my rock And they know what I’m made of I’m grateful for all I have Moving forward step by step Joyful days, blissful nights I keep chasing my own lights Every detail is a poem In a perfect tandem Sometimes things don’t work out That’s what life is all about Meanwhile, l shall have fun Because yesterday is already gone Happy birthday to me Living wild and free!

I have traveled all over the world Always free as a bird No house, no family, no friends What for? I don’t need them anymore So I thought… I just listened to my ego How selfish I was! I have been everywhere But I don’t have a place to call home I have lost my faith and my balance I feel foreign in my own country I don’t belong to anyone Not even to myself My wings are heavy My soul is empty My eyes are dull My body is sore Without you I’m unrooted.
It’s so damn good to be back! After more than three weeks of intensive emotions. Believe me when I say that my life is a roller coaster. Oh yeah! A phone stolen, a whole morning at the police station, memories vanished, pictures lost forever, my accounts hacked, major health issues and finally… holidays! I am sorry for not being present but I needed a break. Trust me! I hope you liked the street art posts (I cannot live without art), as well as, the ones to celebrate my favourite season : Summer. Thank you for being here! I’ll catch up… smoothly but steadily. I missed you all.
When the sun is shining, I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

All in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer… one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends, and delightful doing, come as near perfection as anything can come in this world.
Is it the end of the world as we used to know it? Are we all going crazy? Am I feeling too blue? Or being pessimistic? What are we waiting for? To cherish the ones we love? To take care of Mother Earth? Who are we to blame but ourselves? Until the sky is blue and the sea is alive There is hope.
My brand new phone has been stolen. Damn it! I miss reading your posts early in the morning, while drinking a cup of green tea. I miss your amazing pictures too! I usually schedule my publications in advance because my mind never sleeps. I like to antecipate, just in case… Unfortunately, during the week I can’t go through WordPress on my laptop as much as I wish, so I’ll catch up during the weekend.
Nunca pensei que me sentisse tão vazia sem o telemóvel! Quase toda a minha vida cabe na palma da mão. É assustador! O meu Samsung novo foi roubado e esta despesa imprevista, mesmo antes das férias, não vinha nada a calhar! Enfim… podia ter sido pior! Tenho saudades de enviar-vos emojis e de ler-vos logo pela manhã. Regressarei em breve!
Après le vol de mon portable (tout beau, tout neuf) les derniers jours ont été épuisants. Porter plainte à la police, bloquer la carte SIM, changer le mot de passe de tous les comptes… Oui, je suis tellement naïve que je n’ai jamais songé à avoir des codes de verrouillage et déverrouillage. Les matins ne sont plus les mêmes sans vos publications. Le parcours du bus jusqu’au travail a perdu sa grâce. Pourvu que je trouve un remplaçant à mon Samsung vite!
¡Al mal tiempo, buena cara! Me tocan unos días sin móvil, sin emojis, sin mensajes, sin WordPress desde la mañana. La convivencia con mi segundo Samsung ha sido corta, pero intensa. Lo tendré que reemplazar mucho antes de lo previsto. ¿Que se le va a hacer? Todo en la vida es efímero y nada dura para siempre.
I miss traveling I miss taking the plane, the train or even the subway I miss my family and friends around the world I miss my freedom My wings have not been cut off yet So I might be strolling around more often.
