Para ti...
Please don't say I love you,
those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me
Please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway
It just makes me want to make you near me always
And when you look in my eyes
please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms
you have complete power over me
So be gentle if you please, 'cause
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
those words touch me much too deeply
and they make my core tremble
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me
Please don't look at me like that
It just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't kiss me so sweet
it makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow
And please don't touch me like that
makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow
And please don't come so close
it just makes me want to make you near me always
Please don't bring me flowers
they only whisper the sweet things you'd say
Don't try to understand me
your hands already know too much anyway
It just makes me want to make you near me always
And when you look in my eyes
please know my heart is in your hands
It's nothing that I understand, but when in your arms
you have complete power over me
So be gentle if you please, 'cause
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
Your hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teeth
And it makes me want to make you near me always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
I want to be near you always
Near You Always - Jewel

Há sempre outra perspectiva
Ao escrever a música "Alive", Eddie Vedder quis prepetuar em canção uma maldição. Estar vivo era, para ele, naquela altura, uma maldição. A música tinha uma carga muito negativa.
No entanto, o público encarou-a de forma completamente diferente. Como uma celebração da Vida. E ainda hoje se sente, pelo menos eu sinto, uma esperança nascer dentro de nós ao ouvir este tema. Foi o que se sentiu no dia 4 de Setembro no Pavilhão Atlântico entre milhares de pessoas a cantar "I'm still Alive..." e é o que se sente em casa a entoar a letra na nossa cabeça.
O vocalista diz hoje que, por este facto, a maldição não existe mais.
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin but a...
While you were sittin home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin, sorry you didnt see him, but Im glad we talked...
Oh i, oh, Im still alive
Hey, i, i, oh, Im still alive
Hey i, oh, Im still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young mans room
She said Im ready...for you
I cant remember anything to this very day
cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I cant see, I just stare...
I, Im still alive
Hey i, but, Im still alive
Hey i, boy, Im still alive
Hey i, i, i, Im still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
Youre still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
I, oh, Im still alive
Hey i, oh, Im still alive
Hey i, but, Im still alive
Yeah i, ooh, Im still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Poder de Superação
Nunca nada fez tanto sentido na minha cabeça.
Um dos melhores Educadores que passou pela minha vida, Assistente da FDL, disse, no meu 1º ano, que avaliava os seus alunos pelo seu poder de superação.
Essa ideia guia o meu percurso na Faculdade e na vida, até hoje.
Puxar sempre mais um pouco, tentar ir sempre um pouco mais além, mais além daquilo que pensavámos que conseguíamos, é uma prova de dedicação, humildade e esperança. Nunca baixar os braços perante um insucesso ou perante um obstáculo. Provar a nós próprios que conseguimos sempre mais e na verdade não conhecemos limite para as nossas capacidades.
A partir do momento que uma pessoa afirma para si mesma que não consegue melhor que aquilo, nunca na vida irá conseguir. É um ciclo vicioso.
Não somos obrigados a mais nada, senão a superar-nos a nós próprios. Só assim podemos ter realmente noção do nosso valor.
