"Still, despite all this, traveling is the great true love of my life. I have always felt that to travel is worth any cost or sacrifice. I am loyal and constant in my love for travel, as I have not always been loyal and constant in my other loves. I feel about travel the way a happy new mother feels about her impossible, colicky, restless, newborn baby--I just don't care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it's mine. Because it looks exactly like me. It can barf all over me if it wants to--I just don't care."

— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as well don't deserve me at my best" Marilyn Monroe

“Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave,

and grow old wanting to get back to”

Porque quando estou em casa acontece essa meio mágica que faz as coisas acontecerem de um jeito diferente, sutil e arrebatador ao mesmo tempo. Minhas meias pertencem ao mesmo par, ganho café na cama e havanetes após o almoço, sinto criatividade saindo pelos poros, posso deitar no chão sem sentir frio, saio na rua sabendo quem eu verei quando olhar pro lado, consigo buscar o novo e durmo mais profundo. Desconfio que é o que chamam de felicidade por aí.

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I - I took the less traveled
by, and that has made all the
difference.

Robert Frost, The road not taken, 1962

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me / where trouble melts like lemon drops

"Penso: quando você não tem amor, você ainda tem as estradas."
