O avi&#227;o era um pouco mais velho do que eu esperava, mas tudo bem. Eu fui uma das primeiras a sentar e continuei observando as pessoas enquanto elas entravam. Eu estava animada para voar de primeira classe, t&#227;o animada que reservei um voo que ia de Denver para Vegas (ao sul de Denver), depois Calgary (de volta pro norte), e depois Saskatoon, porque a passagem era mais barata e eu poderia voar de primeira classe dentro do limite de gastos da empresa.

De onde eu conhe&#231;o esse cara? Um homem asi&#225;tico, barbudo, cabelos longos, usando uma jaqueta super colorida do Dragonball Z. O voo estava saindo de Vegas, ele era famoso? Sim. Mas de onde? Um clique e eu lembrei.</p><p>O ano &#233; 2013, e em um dos meus muitos breves atos aleat&#243;rios de hiperfoco, decido que vou ser uma DJ &#8212; &#233; claro, como um hobby, tocar em festas de amigos, uma coisa casual. Tudo come&#231;ou porque h&#225; alguns anos antes eu andava gostando muito de mashups tipo <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu3ffsIBtEI">esse</a> &#8212; lembra quando a internet era f&#225;cil assim?. Ah, &#233; da&#237; que eu conhe&#231;o esse cara! De volta ao avi&#227;o, deixando de lado minha carreira de DJ. Era ele, Steve Aoki, o DJ que joga bolo, cheio de energia, produtor, m&#250;sico, lenda da m&#250;sica eletr&#244;nica, e ele estava sentado a dois assentos de mim.</p><p>Ele entrou, muito calmo, e colocou sua jaqueta colorida no compartimento de bagagem. Peguei meu telefone, mandei uma mensagem pro meu marido e minha irm&#227; imediatamente, e continuei observando as rea&#231;&#245;es das outras pessoas enquanto passavam.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png" width="534" height="1157.679389312977" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2556,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:534,&quot;bytes&quot;:1181150,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!JEn8!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F609712c8-a3ee-4af1-97ba-5ca2f921de3e_1179x2556.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Os boomers, mais velhos, n&#227;o tinham ideia de quem ele era, incluindo o cara que estava sentado bem do lado dele. Mas todos os millennials e gen Z que entraram no avi&#227;o arregalavam os olhos quando o viam. Decolamos, o voo foi curto e f&#225;cil. N&#243;s dois pedimos frango de almo&#231;o.</p><p>Quando pousamos em Calgary, pensei: &#233; isso. "Bom, legal, lembra da vez que vi o Steve Aoki de longe em um avi&#227;o?" Que hist&#243;ria sem gra&#231;a de contar. Ele saiu do avi&#227;o, e eu tamb&#233;m, e ambos seguimos para a fila da imigra&#231;&#227;o. "Prazer em conhec&#234;-lo, senhor", ouvi um guarda da imigra&#231;&#227;o dizer.</p><p>Passamos pela imigra&#231;&#227;o e percebi que era minha chance, era agora ou nunca &#8212; um corredor longo e vazio, eu e ele. "Essa foi a fila de imigra&#231;&#227;o mais f&#225;cil que j&#225; passei", quando percebi, as palavras j&#225; estavam ecoando no corredor. "Sim, n&#227;o foi ruim", ele respondeu, "De onde voc&#234; &#233;?", "Do Brasil", "E por que trocou o Brasil por <em>isso</em>?", o tempo l&#225; fora estava horr&#237;vel. "Bem, [insira minha explica&#231;&#227;o cl&#225;ssica sobre como o Brasil &#233; &#243;timo, mas a qualidade de vida no geral &#233; melhor aqui]", "E voc&#234; &#233; o Steve Aoki".</p><p>Ele me disse que ia tocar no dia seguinte em Winnipeg, e perguntou onde eu estava hospedada em Vegas. "Nossa, que rota de voo estranha", ele respondeu quando eu disse que vinha de Denver. Tudo que eu disse foi "&#233;, eu sei", como se a rota n&#227;o tivesse nada a ver comigo burlando o sistema para voar na primeira classe. Ele perguntou se eu sabia o caminho mais f&#225;cil para a &#225;rea de voos dom&#233;sticos. Conversamos e caminhamos em dire&#231;&#227;o &#224; se&#231;&#227;o D, mesmo sabendo que meu port&#227;o estava em algum lugar na se&#231;&#227;o C. Em algum momento, pensei, "Tenho que pedir uma foto. Como &#233; que eu vou contar para meu marido e minha irm&#227; que isso aconteceu?", "Posso tirar uma foto com voc&#234;?", ele concordou gentilmente.

Where have I seen this person before? Asian man, bearded, long hair, wearing a super colourful Dragonball Z jacket. The flight was leaving from Vegas, was he famous? Yes. But from where? A click and I remembered.&nbsp;</p><p>The year is 2013, and in one of my many brief random acts of hyperfocus, I decide I am going to be a DJ&#8212;on the side obviously, play at friends&#8217; parties, a chill casual side gig. It all started because I was really into mashups like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu3ffsIBtEI">these</a>&#8212;remember when the internet was this easy?&#8212;a few years before. Ah, that&#8217;s where I knew him from!! Back to the plane, side gigs aside. It was him, Steve Aoki, cake-throwing, high-energy, DJ, producer, musician, EDM legend, and he was sitting two seats away from me.</p><p>He walked in, in a really calm demeanour and put his colourful jacket in the overhead bin. I pulled up my phone, texted my husband and sister immediately, and proceeded to watch other people&#8217;s reactions as they walked by. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png" width="526" height="1140.3358778625955" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2556,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:526,&quot;bytes&quot;:1181150,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!aGXA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03e98705-aa25-4da7-8a40-e37b168df388_1179x2556.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Boomers had no clue who he was, including the guy who was sitting right next to him.

We both ordered chicken for lunch.</p><p>When we landed in Calgary, I thought, that&#8217;s it. &#8220;Well, that was fun, remember the one time I saw Steve Aoki from afar in a plane?&#8221; That&#8217;s a lame story to tell.

All I said was &#8220;Yeah, I know&#8221;, like the route had nothing to do with me gaming the system to fly first class. He asked if I knew the easiest way to the domestic departures area. We chatted and walked towards the D section, even though I knew my gate was over at C somewhere. At some point, I thought, &#8220;I have to ask for a photo.

Desenhos Disney e filmes da Sess&#227;o da Tarde me ensinaram que a primaveras eram sobre flores e tempo de plantar um jardim, e os ver&#245;es eram sobre aproveitar o sol e brincar do lado de fora, embora eu tivesse acesso a ambos o ano todo. O outono era sobre folhas caindo l&#225; fora (como diziam Sandy &amp; Jr.), e o inverno era sobre neve, embora eu nunca tivesse experimentado nenhum dos dois na minha inf&#226;ncia. N&#227;o foi at&#233; meus 20 anos que entendi como era viver em um lugar com quatro esta&#231;&#245;es distintas. J&#225; se passaram quase treze anos e... Acho que nunca vou me acostumar.</p><p>A melhor maneira que tenho pra descrever como &#233; viver em um lugar com esta&#231;&#245;es distintas (se &#233; que se pode chamar Saskatchewan disso) &#233; como ter um segundo ritmo circadiano, um ritmo circadiano estendido que organiza a vida das maneiras mais inconvenientes e, &#224;s vezes, fant&#225;sticas.</p><p>Vou explicar. Pense em acordar em um dia quente e ensolarado, &#233; s&#225;bado, e voc&#234; vai encontrar suas amigas l&#225; fora para tomar uns drinks. Aquela energia &#8212; &#233; a energia do ver&#227;o. Exceto que este s&#225;bado dura <em>tr&#234;s meses inteiros</em>. Algu&#233;m morreu? Voc&#234; tem que trabalhar e seu chefe &#233; p&#233;ssimo? Voc&#234; teve uma discuss&#227;o com algu&#233;m que ama? N&#227;o importa, &#233; ver&#227;o. Assim que come&#231;amos a ter dias consistentemente quentes e sol suficiente para cessar temporariamente nossa defici&#234;ncia semi-permanente de vitamina D, eu sinto a energia do ver&#227;o chegando e inundando meu corpo. E, n&#227;o vou mentir, eu amo essa &#233;poca do ano. E eu queria que ela durasse pra sempre. Mas, parte de mim ainda tem dificuldade de lidar com o qu&#227;o preciosos e raros s&#227;o os dias de ver&#227;o aqui, o que &#233; muito diferente to Brasil. Morando aqui, eu sempre me sinto esgotada no final do ver&#227;o, sentindo que perdi tempo e espa&#231;o para introspec&#231;&#227;o, ao mesmo tempo em sentindo que poderia ter aproveitado melhor os dias mais quentes &#8212; um ato de equil&#237;brio imposs&#237;vel.</p><p>A primavera e outono s&#227;o s&#233;rie de dias na expectativa do que est&#225; por vir. E invernos, ah invernos. Se o ver&#227;o me d&#225; energia, o inverno pesa &#8212; sorrir &#233; mais dif&#237;cil, sai do lugar &#233; mais dif&#237;cil, viver &#233; mais dif&#237;cil. Tudo exige um pouco mais de energia e esfor&#231;o no inverno. E, enquanto encontrar felicidade no ver&#227;o &#233; f&#225;cil, encontr&#225;-la no inverno &#233; como procurar minhas chaves quando estou atrasada para sair de casa, uma luta.</p><p>As temperaturas extremas fazem tudo ficar dif&#237;cil, mas o isolamento &#233; o que mais me afeta. Os invernos no Brasil eram frios, especialmente sem aquecedores e casas com paredes com isolamento t&#233;rmico, mas os invernos tamb&#233;m eram cheios de festas com muita dan&#231;a, comida boa e boas mem&#243;rias.</p><p>Eu n&#227;o estou voltando para o Brasil t&#227;o cedo, embora parte de mim deseje que isso aconte&#231;a algum dia. Mas, sinto falta da abund&#226;ncia de dias quentes, sem pressa, sempre sabendo que amanh&#227; ser&#225; outro dia de calor, e que se n&#227;o fosse, o pr&#243;ximo seria. Por enquanto, tudo o que posso fazer &#233; aguentar firme, a primavera est&#225; quase chegando. &#127804;</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f86350af-f259-434a-8a3a-d791f1b5d19a_3666x2750.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e6eb3723-c01c-42c7-91a0-645e3cf7cf0f_5712x4284.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/790b0abc-8ed5-42b7-a05e-3c66c672dea2_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><h3>O que assisti este m&#234;s</h3><p>Minha obsess&#227;o por filmes diminuiu consideravelmente em fevereiro, e n&#227;o tenho tanto para compartilhar quanto em janeiro. Mas vamos l&#225;:</p><ul><li><p>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; <strong>Poor Things:</strong> Gostei muito deste filme e quero assistir de novo em algum momento. Embora ele seja uma vis&#227;o masculina das experi&#234;ncias de mulheres brancas, ainda sim &#233; um filme sobre as experi&#234;ncias feminias, algo ainda um raro. Enquanto eu assistia, eu n&#227;o conseguia decidir se a atua&#231;&#227;o de Emma Stone era &#243;tima ou terr&#237;vel, s&#243; sei que me deixou bastante desconfort&#225;vel.</p></li><li><p>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; <strong>American Symphony:</strong> &#233; um document&#225;rio da Netflix sobre um vencedor de v&#225;rios Grammys e como ele navega na vida enquanto sua esposa passa por tratamento contra o c&#226;ncer. A s&#233;rie foi um bom lembrete de que todo mundo passa por dificuldades sob a superf&#237;cie, mesmo que as apar&#234;ncias ou as redes sociais digam o contr&#225;rio.</p></li><li><p>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; <strong>Naomi Osaka:</strong> &#233; uma s&#233;rie de tr&#234;s partes sobre a mundialmente famosa jogadora de t&#234;nis japonesa. A s&#233;rie foi muito bem feita, ao ponto que eu n&#227;o consegui assistir tudo de uma vez, porque precisava de pausas para sentir e processar o que Naomi estava passando. Osaka &#233; t&#227;o real, e seus sentimentos s&#227;o compreens&#237;veis. Nem hero&#237;na nem vil&#227;, ela est&#225; encontrando seu caminho.</p></li></ul><p>Men&#231;&#227;o honrosa este m&#234;s para Love is Blind. A s&#233;rie est&#225; cada vez mais dando vibes de Jogos Vorazes, especialmente durante a reunion, adoro.</p><h3>O que ouvi</h3><ul><li><p>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; <strong>Corte de Espinhos e Rosas:</strong> Normalmente, n&#227;o sou muito de fantasia, mas este audiobook me prendeu. As vibes de A Bela e a Fera eram pr&#243;ximas o suficiente do enredo original para me fazer continuar lendo, sabendo o que ia acontecer, enquanto a misteriosa praga me deixou intrigada por uma boa parte do livro. Eu n&#227;o acho que teria sido capaz de manter minha aten&#231;&#227;o se tivesse lendo o livro, mas foi uma boa escolha pra um audiobook.</p></li></ul><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b75018b5-ec88-4f7c-adf5-61bb4b6dc0ad_450x630.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4ba05e4f-448d-4235-b0b8-ba4c1498a479_667x1000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dae6e7eb-5236-4635-9f89-fe3c4d70764c_640x638.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9ac7a9e3-f6de-4d17-adb3-9d168703d36f_729x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1c8d03f2-0ee2-4123-82d0-f7ada5826fad_1456x1456.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><h3><strong>O que fiz</strong></h3><p>Fevereiro trouxe um pouco mais do mesmo, e n&#227;o aconteceu muita coisa nova por aqui.

Although, in my reality, there were only two&#8230; and a half. Growing up in Brazil, the weather was either warm in the morning and terribly warm and rainy the rest of the day, slightly cold in the morning and warm during the day (which we&#8217;ll count as half), or an intense cold that chills your bones and makes you want to hide under all your blankets and have a stew. That was it. Change in scenery? Nothing too perceptible. In September the ip&#234;s bloomed.

Disney cartoons and blockbuster movies taught me that spring was all about flowers and planting a garden, and summers were all about enjoying the sun and playing outside, although I had access to both year-round. Fall was about leaves falling outside, and winter was all about snow, although I had never experienced either. It wasn&#8217;t until my 20s that, I had a glimpse of what a life with four seasons looked and felt like. It&#8217;s been almost thirteen years now, and so far, I can say&#8230; I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever get used to it.&nbsp;</p><p>The best way I can describe how I experience living in a place with distinct seasons (if you can call Saskatchewan that) is like having a second circadian rhythm, a stretched circadian clock that layers life out in the most inconvenient and (sometimes) fantastic ways.</p><p>I&#8217;ll explain. Think about waking up to a warm sunny day, it&#8217;s Saturday, and you&#8217;re meeting your friends outside to grab drinks. That energy&#8212;that&#8217;s summer energy. Except this Saturday lasts three full months. Someone died? You have to work and your boss sucks? You had a disagreement with someone you love? It doesn&#8217;t matter, it&#8217;s summer. As soon as we get consistently warm days, and enough sun to temporarily cease our semi-permanent vitamin D deficiency, I feel summer energy coming and flooding my body. And, I won&#8217;t lie, it fills my cup. I love it. I wish I could stay in it forever. But, part of me still struggles with how precious and rare summer days are here, while growing up they weren&#8217;t. I often feel burnt out by the end of summer, feeling like I miss time and space to introspect, while also feeling I could&#8217;ve made better use of the warmer days&#8212;an impossible balancing act.</p><p>Spring and Fall often feel like a string of days in anticipation of whatever is coming next. And winters, oh winters. Whatever the summer energy is, winter is the opposite. If summers give me a boost, winters weigh heavy on me&#8212;smiling is harder, moving is harder, being is harder. Everything demands a bit more energy and effort. And, while finding happiness in summer is easy, finding it in winter is like looking for my keys when I&#8217;m late to leave the house, a struggle.&nbsp;</p><p>The extreme temperatures play a role in it, but the isolation is what affects me the most. Winters in South America were cold, especially without heaters and insulated walls, but winters were also full of parties with plenty of dancing, eating stew and memory-making.</p><p>I am not moving back to Brazil anytime soon, although part of me wishes that will happen sometime. I guess I just miss the abundance of warm days, with no rush, always knowing tomorrow is going to be another warm day, and if it wasn&#8217;t, the next day would be. For now, all I can do is hang in there,&nbsp; spring is around the corner. &#127804;</p><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/f86350af-f259-434a-8a3a-d791f1b5d19a_3666x2750.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e6eb3723-c01c-42c7-91a0-645e3cf7cf0f_5712x4284.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/790b0abc-8ed5-42b7-a05e-3c66c672dea2_1456x720.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p></p><h3>What I watched this month</h3><p>My movie fever severely subsided in February, and I don&#8217;t have as much to show for compared to January. But here we go:</p><ul><li><p><strong>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; Poor Things:</strong> I really liked this movie, and want to rewatch it sometime. Although it was a male view of white women&#8217;s experiences, it was nonetheless about women&#8217;s experiences, something still somewhat rare. I couldn&#8217;t quite decide whether Emma Stone&#8217;s acting was great or terrible while watching, as it made me kind of uncomfortable. I guess it was great, she won an Oscar.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; American Symphony: </strong>is a Netflix documentary about a multi-Grammy winner, and how he navigates life as his wife is going through cancer treatment. It was a good reminder that everyone is going through things under the surface, even if appearances or social media say otherwise.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; Naomi Osaka: </strong>this is a three-part series about the world-famous Japanese tennis player. The show was super well done, to the point I couldn&#8217;t binge it, because I needed breaks to feel and process what she was going through. Osaka is so real, and her feelings are relatable. Neither hero nor villain, she&#8217;s finding her way.</p></li></ul><p>Honourable mention this month to Love is Blind. The show is more and more giving Hunger Games vibes, especially during the reunion, and I&#8217;m here for it.</p><h3>What I listened to</h3><ul><li><p><strong>&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; A Court of Thorns and Roses: </strong>I am not usually a fantasy girly, but something about this audiobook kept me going. The beauty and the beast vibes were close enough to the original plot to keep me engaged knowing what was going to happen, while the mysterious blight kept me intrigued for a good chunk of the book. I don&#8217;t think I would&#8217;ve been able to hold my attention if I were reading the book, but it was an engaging enough listen.</p></li></ul><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b75018b5-ec88-4f7c-adf5-61bb4b6dc0ad_450x630.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4ba05e4f-448d-4235-b0b8-ba4c1498a479_667x1000.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/dae6e7eb-5236-4635-9f89-fe3c4d70764c_640x638.png&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9ac7a9e3-f6de-4d17-adb3-9d168703d36f_729x1080.jpeg&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1c8d03f2-0ee2-4123-82d0-f7ada5826fad_1456x1456.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p></p><h3>What I did</h3><p>February brought a bit more of the same, and not much new happened.

And I am showing up to the promise I made to document memories, and share with loved ones. I&#8217;ll be completely honest, this post has been haunting me for the last few weeks. The thought of trying something this new and this personal scares me a lot. The idea of sharing &#8212; truly sharing, getting deeper than 10 photos on a carousel, both excites me and intimidates me. So much so that I&#8217;ve procrastinated on starting this for a while now, worrying that whatever I write won&#8217;t live up to my own expectations. Well, honey, January is over, and it&#8217;s now or never. So, here&#8217;s what 2024&#8217;s first 31 days brought to my life.</p><h4><strong>What I watched</strong></h4><p>I started 2024 on a movie kick. After reading some NY Times articles about potential Oscar nominees, I decided to <a href="https://letterboxd.com/annatavares91/">sign up for Letterboxd</a> and watch the most hyped movies of last year. I didn&#8217;t necessarily have a goal to watch all the best picture nominations, so I picked the ones that I thought I would like the most, and some other random movies (not from 2023) that ended up crossing my path. Here are my one to two-sentence thoughts with very little to no explanation.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png" width="936" height="1096" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1096,&quot;width&quot;:936,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1719232,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lug_!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe19ba396-0c33-43cb-94b6-fa9b6b130fb7_936x1096.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p><strong>May December: </strong>People are crazy. I love-hated every single character. The guy that plays the dad should win an Oscar, I felt for him so bad.</p></li><li><p><strong>Anatomy of a Fall: </strong>Shit happens and sometimes we&#8217;ll never know why. The kid was so brave as all his parental figures fell (literally and figuratively) apart in front of him.</p></li><li><p><strong>Past Lives: </strong>This one hit close to home, and the final scenes made me cry. Sometimes I think about humans and migrations and how globalization is great, but also f* us in many ways.</p></li><li><p><strong>Saltburn: </strong>Maximalism, shock value, and social class theories packaged in a remake of &#8220;Talented Mr. Ripley&#8221;. Murder on the dance floor&#8221; is living rent free in my head this month.</p></li><li><p><strong>Society of the Snow:</strong>&nbsp;Shit happens and people are crazy resilient. Also, it&#8217;s always nice to watch a movie in Spanish.</p></li><li><p><strong>Talented Mr. Ripley:</strong>&nbsp;I started watching this before Saltburn, and ended after finishing Saltburn (go figure), but couldn&#8217;t help noticing the similarities. I wish I had watched it at a different time.</p></li><li><p><strong>Autumn Sonata:</strong>&nbsp;A Swedish gut punch. I watched it because my therapist asked me to. Don&#8217;t do it.</p></li></ul><p>Besides movies, I watched &#8220;American Nightmare&#8221; and thought it was an average true crime, and made considerable progress on &#8220;Succession&#8221;. I could write a whole lot about Succession, but for now, I&#8217;ll just say the writing and jokes are solid, and watching it has helped me significantly detach myself, and my personal worth, from work, in a good way.</p><h4><strong>What I listened to</strong></h4><p>One of my goals for this winter is to spend more time outside. So, I bought some base layers, and committed to walking our dog whenever the weather outside doesn&#8217;t freeze my exotic lashes. Here&#8217;s what I listened to during my walks:</p><ul><li><p><strong>How to Keep Time:</strong> This is a podcast series by The Atlantic, and &#8220;How to Keep Time&#8221; is their fifth (?) season. The themes they cover, throughout all the seasons, are really interesting to me, things that are extremely complex to grasp, yet very mundane &#8212; like the passing of time, connecting with others, finding happiness, and building community.

E estou cumprindo a promessa que fiz de documentar mem&#243;rias e compartilhar com pessoas que amo. Vou falar a verdade, esse post tem me assombrado nas &#250;ltimas semanas. A ideia de tentar algo t&#227;o novo e t&#227;o pessoal me assusta muito. A ideia de compartilhar &#8212; verdadeiramente compartilhar, ir mais fundo do que 10 fotos em um post do Instagram, me empolga e me intimida.

E estou cumprindo a promessa que fiz de documentar mem&#243;rias e compartilhar com pessoas que amo. Vou falar a verdade, esse post tem me assombrado nas &#250;ltimas semanas. A ideia de tentar algo t&#227;o novo e t&#227;o pessoal me assusta muito. A ideia de compartilhar &#8212; verdadeiramente compartilhar, ir mais fundo do que 10 fotos em um post do Instagram, me empolga e me intimida. Eu procrastinei o in&#237;cio desse post por um tempo, preocupada com a ideia de que o que quer que eu escrevesse n&#227;o ia estar &#224; altura das minhas pr&#243;prias expectativas. Bem, janeiro acabou, e &#233; agora ou nunca. Ent&#227;o, aqui est&#225; o que os primeiros 31 dias de 2024 trouxeram para a minha vida.</p><h3><strong>O que eu assisti</strong></h3><p>Comecei 2024 com uma maratona de filmes. Depois de ler alguns artigos do NY Times sobre potenciais indicados ao Oscar, decidi me inscrever no Letterboxd e assistir os filmes mais comentados do ano passado. N&#227;o tinha necessariamente a meta de assistir a todas as indica&#231;&#245;es de melhor filme, ent&#227;o escolhi aquelas que achei que ia gostar mais, e alguns filmes aleat&#243;rios (n&#227;o de 2023) que acabaram aparecendo. Em algumas palavras, o que eu achei sobre os filmes que vi:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png" width="936" height="1096" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1096,&quot;width&quot;:936,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1719232,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!x2tg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce52dff5-499c-4956-a518-b78ccd3011b8_936x1096.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><ul><li><p>May December: As pessoas s&#227;o loucas.

Conforme o tempo se estendeu por 31 longos dias de pouca luz, eu pensei muito sobre a ideia de "ter significado" e "o que importa", como sempre fa&#231;o. Me despedi de dois parentes muito queridos este m&#234;s, e isso me fez focar menos no trabalho e a ampliar a vis&#227;o, e ser for&#231;ada a ver a vida como um todo. Minhas caminhadas e os infinitos c&#233;us azuis de Saskatchewan ajudaram a criar espa&#231;o pra pensar nisso tudo.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png" width="937" height="1240" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1240,&quot;width&quot;:937,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1837605,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2aoZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc97389bc-4564-4ae2-bcf8-40544a79601c_937x1240.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>O distanciamento do trabalho me preocupou um pouco, me fez pensar que eu estava ficando pra tr&#225;s ou que eu n&#227;o estava entregando tanto quanto deveria.

I&#8217;m glad I exist.</p><p>&#8212; Wendy Cope&#8221;</p><p>I feel I want to explain to you what we&#8217;re doing here, before we get into the things we&#8217;re here to see and hear and talk about. Let&#8217;s start there.&nbsp;</p><p>I have been on a sort of quest to find my footing for the last while. 2023 was a rough year. About a year ago, I started therapy. I was unhappy and too scared to admit it. How could I be unhappy? I am healthy, I have a beautiful family, a home, and I am financially comfortable. I could not possibly be unhappy, I had no right to be. When I finally decided to take the leap and talk to someone, things started shifting.&nbsp;</p><p>Months went by, as I went through stages of understanding and grief. I opened threads that were tied tight and sealed deep down within me. I revisited memories and finally cried about things that happened decades ago. At first, all of me was really stuck in understanding &#8220;why&#8221; it all had happened, why me, and why that way. I searched for all the whys I could possibly try to find. I found some, but not many. Spring came and summer went by, and I was consumed by a steady low drum of anger. Not loud enough to make me yell, not quiet enough to give me room to be. I wanted to change the past, and change people, but I couldn&#8217;t, and that hurt so bad.&nbsp;</p><p>As I got familiar with the feeling of being powerless about it all, I rarely regretted having started the journey, though. The more I dug, different pieces of the puzzle appeared, out of order, some with no place yet, but all were parts of me that I had left behind somewhere &#8212; feelings that were long lost, or never felt, compassion for me and for others, long-awaited understanding. The only way out was, and still is, through. I started giving myself more room to feel, and cry, and show others that I was going through something. The ones closest to me have been hanging in there with me in this journey, and I am so grateful for it.</p><p>Somewhere along this path, I noticed that social media was putting unnecessary pressure on me. I wanted to be a part of my friends&#8217; lives, but the world of irrelevant information that came with it was too much for my addicted-prone neurodivergent brain. So, I left, and things got&#8230; quiet. It hasn&#8217;t been that long, and, although, I certainly enjoy the feeling of not having spent hours scrolling every day without an end in sight, I do miss the ability to share and receive short updates from friends and family &#8212; A newborn&#8217;s first smiles, a special night out with loved ones, graduations, engagements, random photo dumps.&nbsp;</p><p>That&#8217;s where this place comes in. A home for sharing memories, away from the algorithm&#8217;s dementors. A place to slow down and reflect about life, and how it&#8217;s actually been, good and bad and the 90% that is in between. A place to share with a small, but really special group of people. A pause in between scrolls, to just be. A short read, like grabbing a coffee, or going for a walk. And, once you&#8217;re done, if you&#8217;re ever so inclined, hit reply and send me an update about your world, I&#8217;d love to read it.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eu te amo, ainda bem que eu existo]]></title><description><![CDATA["A Laranja Ao meio-dia, comprei uma laranja enorme &#8212; O tamanho dela fez todos n&#243;s rirmos.

As compras. Um passeio no parque.<br>Isso &#233; paz e contentamento. &#201; novo.</p><p>O restante do dia foi bastante f&#225;cil.<br>Fiz todas as tarefas da minha lista<br>E as aproveitei, tendo tempo sobrando.<br>Eu te amo. Estou feliz por existir.</p><p>&#8212; Wendy Cope&#8221;</p><p>Eu quero explicar pra voc&#234;s o que eu t&#244; fazendo aqui, antes de entrarmos nos detalhes que estou aqui para contar. Vamos come&#231;ar por a&#237;.</p><p>Eu tenho estado em uma esp&#233;cie de busca para encontrar meu equil&#237;brio ultimamente. 2023 foi um ano dif&#237;cil. H&#225; um ano atr&#225;s, comecei a fazer terapia. Eu estava infeliz e com muito medo de admitir. Como eu poderia estar infeliz? Eu tenho sa&#250;de, tenho uma fam&#237;lia linda, uma casa e estou financeiramente confort&#225;vel. Eu n&#227;o poderia estar infeliz, n&#227;o tinha o direito. Quando finalmente decidi conversar com algu&#233;m, as coisas come&#231;aram a mudar.</p><p>Meses se passaram, e enquanto eu passava por fases de compreens&#227;o e luto, eu voltei em lembran&#231;as que estavam guardadas e seladas l&#225; dentro de mim. Revivi mem&#243;rias e finalmente chorei por coisas que aconteceram d&#233;cadas atr&#225;s. No in&#237;cio, eu estava realmente focada em entender "por que" tudo havia acontecido, por que eu, e por que as coisas tinham acontecido daquele jeito. Busquei todos os "porqu&#234;s" que eu poderia tentar encontrar. Encontrei alguns, mas n&#227;o muitos. A primavera chegou e o ver&#227;o passou, e dentro de mim tinha uma raiva, pequenininha, que tocava como um tambor baixinho. N&#227;o alto o suficiente para me tirar do s&#233;rio, mas n&#227;o quieto o suficiente para me dar espa&#231;o pra pensar. Eu queria mudar o passado e as pessoas, mas n&#227;o conseguia, e isso do&#237;a muito.</p><p>E, conforme o tempo foi passando, eu fui me familiarizando com a sensa&#231;&#227;o de ser impotente sobre tudo. Nesse caminho, eu raramente me arrependi de ter ido nessa dire&#231;&#227;o. Quanto mais eu procurava, pe&#231;as diferentes do quebra-cabe&#231;a apareciam, fora de ordem, algumas sem lugar ainda, mas todas eram partes de mim que eu tinha deixado pra tr&#225;s em algum lugar &#8212; sentimentos que estavam perdidos h&#225; muito tempo, ou nunca sentidos, compaix&#227;o por mim e pelos outros, compreens&#227;o que esperava sentir por tanto tempo. O &#250;nico jeito de chegar at&#233; o fim era, e ainda &#233;, sentir. Comecei a me dar mais espa&#231;o para sentir, chorar e mostrar que eu estava passando por algo. As pessoas mais pr&#243;ximas de mim t&#234;m estado comigo nessa jornada, e eu n&#227;o tenho nem como agradecer por isso.</p><p>Em algum momento ao longo desse caminho, eu percebi que as redes sociais estavam criando uma press&#227;o desnecess&#225;ria em mim. Eu queria fazer parte da vida dos meus amigos, mas o mundo de informa&#231;&#245;es irrelevantes que vinha com o Instagram era demais pro meu c&#233;rebro neurodivergente e propenso a v&#237;cios. Ent&#227;o, eu sa&#237; de l&#225;, e as coisas ficaram... silenciosas. N&#227;o faz tanto tempo, e, embora eu goste da sensa&#231;&#227;o de n&#227;o ter passado horas no Instagram todos os dias, sinto falta de poder compartilhar e receber not&#237;cias de amigos e da minha fam&#237;lia &#8212; os primeiros sorrisos de um nen&#233;m, uma noite especial com pessoas queridas, formaturas, noivados, fotos aleat&#243;rias.</p><p>&#201; a&#237; que esse espa&#231;o entra. Um lugar pra compartilhar mem&#243;rias, longe dos dementadores do algoritmo. Um lugar pra desacelerar e refletir sobre a vida como ela realmente &#233;, boa e ruim e os 90% que n&#227;o s&#227;o um nem outro. Um lugar pra compartilhar com um grupo pequeno, mas especial. Uma pausa entre as redes sociais pra s&#243; ser.</p><p>Meus posts v&#227;o ser uma leitura r&#225;pida, como tomar um caf&#233; comigo, ou sair pra dar uma volta no quarteir&#227;o. E, quando voc&#234; terminar, se voc&#234; sentir vontade, me responde e me mande um update sobre o seu mundo, eu vou adorar ler.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
