10 tópicos para quem quer falar mal de mim

Percebi nos últimos tempos que tem gente que tem tanta necessidade de falar mal de mim que até inventa.
Queria poupar-vos o trabalho de inventar e dar-vos uma pauta.

1- Quando eu era pequena, achava o Vavá (do Karametade) bonito.
2- Eu sei sambar, mas finjo que não sei.
3- Às vezes ouço música sertaneja no youtube.
4- Nunca pesei mais do que 48 quilos.
5- Só pesei 48 quilos quando tomei um remédio que tinha como efeito colateral engordar e estragar o cabelo.
6- Ainda escuto Backstreet Boys e todas as boybands que vc imaginar.
7- (para quem não é fã do Guns N' Roses) Eu tinha vários posters deles até poucos dias.
8- (para quem é fã do Guns N' Roses) Joguei todos os posters fora.
9- Tem hora que eu não sei usar "ç", "ss", "s", "x", "sc" em português.
10- Não me importo que uma pessoa que eu não gosto não goste de mim.


Pronto, espero ter ajudado de alguma forma. Se quiser saber mais alguma coisa ruim sobre mim, me pergunte. Eu sei várias.

Jar Of Hearts - Christina Perri

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

All Of Me - John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all, all of you

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all, all of me
And you give me all, all of you

Is "repressing sexual impulses" bad for you?

How many times have we heard that it's antinatural and even dangerous to "repress sexual impulses"? People who affirm that claim to be based on a very old psychological theory, of which they know little or nothing about.

We can feel intimidated when we hear that, and we may even believe in the talk that "it's not good to supress yourself"; or at least we may not know how to answer to that.

C.S.Lewis, a men of exceptional mind, made clear something which is important to understand: when you say "no" and set limits to others and to yourself; when, for a range of principles, you choose to reject some of your desires or impulses of your own nature, you're not in danger of creating a repression, as if you were a pressure cooker about to explode.

The author explains that you are only learning how to control your "nature" (in the sense of natural desire), so that you can guide and direct all of your strength and energy to one only goal: love and being loved for real and forever.

What does Lewis say about that "repression" idea people repeat all around?

"People many times don't understand what psychology means with "repression". It taught us that 'repressed' sex is dangerous. In that case, however, 'repressed' is a technical term: it doesn't mean 'suppressed' in the sense of 'denied' or 'forbidden'. A repressed desire or thought is what was thrown to the bottom of our subconscious (during childhood in general) and can only come up in the mind in a disguised or unrecognizable way. To the patient, repressed sexuality doesn't even seem to have a direct relation to sexuality.

When a teenager or an adult puts an effort into fighting a conscious desire, they are not dealing with the repression nor is taking the risk of creating it. On the contrary, people who seriously try to be chaste are more aware of their sexuality and soon start to know it better than any other person.

They end up knowing their desires just the way Wellington knew Napoleon or Sherlock Holmes knew Moriarty; like a catcher of rats knows rats or how a plumber knows a leaking pipe. The virtue - even the effort to reach it - brings light; the profligacy brings only brume." ("Mere christianity", Book III, 5)

Saying "no", establishing clear limits, learn how to master your impulses, is not repression at all.

One example may help us to understand the whole thing better.

Would it be "repression" to master a wild horse, put the reins on it, and turn it into a champion in running and jumping, and turn it into a loyal companion? Would it be repression to put the reins in your own nature when it asks you to follow your impulses?

Not mastering your impulses will only take you to ruin your life and the life of others. Self domain, however, will lead you to great victories. Don't we see that in so many athletes who "repress themselves" to reach their most noble goals?

Stickwitu - The Pussycat Dolls

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
Throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say, hey!

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stickwitu forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stickwitu
You know how to appreciate me
I must stickwitu my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private lives
Ain't nobody getting in between
I want you to know
That you're the only one for me (one for me)
When I say

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stickwitu forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stickwitu
You know how to appreciate me
I must stickwitu my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

And now ain't nothing else
I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now I'm singing
'Cause you're so, so into me
I got you
We'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you (baby I'm with you)
Baby, you're with me
(Baby you're with me higher)

So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's all that counts (hey)
So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's, that's why I say (hey)

Nobody gonna love me better

Come to light

The Spirit of the Lord rests on me
He sent me to announce redemption to the incarcerated
and freedom to the prisoners
Comfort those who suffer

Pass, pass through the doors
Prepare the path to the people!
Open, open the road
Remove its stones
Lift up the banner to summon people

Get out! Come to light!
You don't have to live in gloom
The darkness doesn't satisfy you

Get out! Come to light!
The One who made you
Calls you to be light to the nations

Before I formed you in the womb,
I knew you
Before your birth
I had consecrated you

Pass, pass through the doors
Prepare the path to the people!
Open, open the road
Remove the stones
Lift up the banner to summon people

Retiro de músicos

Então, faz tempo que não escrevo algo aqui além de letras de músicas... Preciso compartilhar essa experiência com todo mundo, especialmente músicos que conheço e que não puderam estar no retiro do final de semana passado.
A história é longa, e tudo que penso em escrever ainda parece pouco e mal explicado, então vou começar do começo, que não é o começo do retiro, mas antes dele.

Pré-retiro

Como sempre, antes de uma coisa muito boa acontecer, me bateu um desânimo gigante. Eu não queria muito ir no retiro, estava cansada do serviço, achava que não teria muitos amigos e conhecidos lá e não tinha dinheiro pra pagar a inscrição. Ou seja, tudo apontava para uma resposta negativa. Mas Deus queria que eu fosse, e foi ajeitando tudo. A Glória (minha coordenadora) e o padre da minha paróquia faziam questão que eu fosse. A Glória pagou minha inscrição, a ficha de inscrição chegou até mim por whatsapp sem que eu precisasse ir atrás... Enfim, fui por obediência e consideração ao padre e à Glória. O Marciel, responsável pela música da paróquia, também fez questão que eu fosse, e foi ele que me enviou a ficha por whatsapp e me buscou pra chegar ao lugar de onde o ônibus partiria para o retiro.
 (Espaço para agradecer a essas 3 pessoas e mandar também um beijo pra Rosinha, esposa do Marciel, que também é uma amiga querida)

Chegando ao local de onde o ônibus partiria, percebi que várias pessoas que conheço também estavam indo ao retiro, e fiquei muito feliz. De fato, eu não estava com o coração fechado, e até estava curiosa.

Retiro 

Na sexta feira, chegamos à chácara lá pelas 22:30. A organizadora do retiro (Luiza) nos recebeu já contando as graças que havíamos recebido até aquele momento - dois pregadores desmarcaram de última hora e Deus providenciou outros dois, que eram os que Ele realmente queria lá no dia: Pablo e Tony Allysson.
Essa notícia animou muita gente que ainda estava desanimada. Jantamos e fizemos um momento de oração, onde foram divididos os horários para a vigília durante a noite e eu fiquei com o horário das 4 às 5 da manhã. Quem me conhece sabe que eu detesto acordar cedo mais do que qualquer coisa no mundo (hahaha), e saber que esse seria meu horário me deixou desanimada, mas aceitei como um pedido do Senhor.
Não consegui dormir de 1h às 4h e me levantei pra ir até Jesus no meu horário. A hora passou tão rápido que eu nem vi, mas pude rezar um rosário. Novamente não consegui dormir bem das 5h às 6h, e me levantei imaginando que aquele dia seria difícil pois eu sempre me sinto mal quando não durmo bem, mas pedi a Deus que não permitisse que isso atrapalhasse meu retiro.
Rezamos o terço enquanto andávamos até o lago com a imagem de Nossa Senhora. Terminamos o terço voltando de lá e participamos da Santa Missa.
Após a missa o café, e após o café a pregação do Pablo. Uma benção. Muito testemunho, muito exemplo pra nossa vida, e um momento descontraído.
Logo depois disso, o Hamilton Costa chegou, e fizemos mais um momento de oração e uma pequena pregação, e depois disso o ápice do meu retiro: adoração a Jesus Eucarístico.
Até aquele momento, eu estava tranquila: nem emocionada nem de coração fechado.
Porém eu tinha muitas dúvidas em relação ao que Deus queria de mim. Eu não sabia se era da vontade Dele que eu cantasse no grupo de oração e na missa; não sabia se Ele queria mesmo que eu seguisse em missão a países distantes; e se queria, como aconteceria isso?
Jesus falou comigo de forma tão profunda que nem consigo explicar escrevendo... Só falando mesmo. Posso dizer aqui a leitura que Ele mandou que eu fizesse (Salmo 32 - bíblia Ave Maria) e a música que confirmava a resposta às minhas dúvidas (Sonhos - Chris Duran).

À tarde tivemos a pregação do Tony Allysson sobre sensibilidade do músico, a do Hamilton sobre "o que você ouve?" e à noite diante da cruz de Jesus com o William.
No domingo de manhã pregação do Rafael que tocava com a Ir. Kelly Patrícia e o Jerry da paróquia Nsa Sra Assunção.

Pela tarde, partilha, oração (onde devíamos pedir uma palavra pra Deus e a minha foi "vai" rs) e a Santa Missa.


Cheguei em casa com uma alegria tão grande que cantei por umas duas horas como nunca cantei antes :)

Muito feliz por Deus ter me chamado ao serviço!

Totus tuus Mariae ♥

Sonhos - Chris Durán

Há um lugar There's a place
Pra chegar To get to
Há uma ponte There's a bridge
Que te levará Which will take you
Pro outro lado To the other side
Há um sonho, uma voz There's a dream, a voice
Dizendo: "os teus sonhos também são meus" Saying: "your dreams are also Mine"
Vou te levar, te conduzir I'll take you, lead you
E quando você alcançar And when you reach
Saberás que em todo tempo You'll know that all of the time
Eu estive ao teu lado I had been by your side

(Refrão) (Chorus)

Os teus sonhos são meus Your dreams are Mine
Teus problemas são meus Your problems are Mine
Tua vida também é minha vida Your life is also My life
Eu de ti cuidarei I'll take care of you
Nunca te deixarei I'll never leave you
Os teus sonhos eu realizarei Your dreams I'll make come true

Vou te levar, te conduzir I'll take you, lead you
E quando você alcançar And when you reach
Saberás que em todo tempo You'll know that all of the time
Eu estive ao teu lado I had been by your side

Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever?

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

oh, can't you see it baby
you've got me goin crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

Can't Smile Without You - Barry Manilow

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would of believed that
You where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything

You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
