Living in a cruise ship is something like a Big Brother. You have cameras all over the ship. The Big Boss wake you up with an out loud ringtone in your cabin at 7 am to make questions about your time sheet. You have to share your life with many people you've never seen before. And you arrive in a group, build a friendship [because everything here is very intense] and, suddenly, some of them sign off and you have to say goodbye. And it happens every each month.It's odd.

:: BYE, BYE, OLD EGO ::

Hoje eu saí para uma vida nova. E foi a primeira vez em que eu olhei para trás, de verdade.
Apenas com um olhar, ainda dentro de casa, enxerguei toda a minha trajetória até aqui. E, fatalmente, uma lágrima escorreu, acompanhada de um sorriso gratificante.
Ao mesmo tempo em que eu fiquei saudoso de toda a minha história junto da minha família, dentro daquela casa, de como foi tudo muito bom, eu fiquei muito contente e grato comigo mesmo e com toda a energia que me cerca. Eu lutei, fui até o final e consegui.

Agora, estou indo rumo ao meu destino. Vou lutar sozinho, andar sozinho, viver sozinho - apesar de acompanhado, crescer sozinho. Agora sou eu por eu mesmo.

O jogo mudou de nível.

Rasguei alguns papéis do passado, deixei roupas velhas para trás, sapatos usados na gaveta, mágoas e incertezas. E digo, sem medo de errar: sigo mais forte, mais maduro, mais consciente. Na hora certa.

Deixo para trás todos aqueles medos, todas aquelas desconfianças. Caminho muito mais confiante do que outrora pude ser. Hoje acredito muito mais em mim e no que sou. Sem sombra de dúvida.

E aquele garoto que iria mudar mundo, mudou a si próprio.

Today, I went out of home to start a new life. And it was, certainly, the first time I looked back upon my life. And with just one look, still in home, I watched all my trajectory ‘till here. And, fatally, a tear fell down on my face, together with a bright smile of grateful.

At the same time I stayed homesick of all my history with my family there inside home, about how everything was good there, I stayed quite happy and thankful with myself and all the energy around me. I fought, went ‘till the end and got it. I won!

Now, I’m going to meet my fate. I’m gonna fight alone, walk alone, live alone – even accompanied, grow alone. Now is just me and myself.

The game step the level up.

I cut up some old papers sheet, left some old clothes behind, old shoes in the closet, sorrows and uncertainties. And I say, without fear: I go stronger, more mature, more conscious. At the right time.

I leave behind all those fears, all those distrusts. I walk much more confident than I could be some day. Today, I believe much more in who I am and in what I am. With no shadows of doubts.

And that Guy whom would change the world,he changed himself.

:: MARINER QUOTES ::

Nearer! More anxious, more curious.
When it comes for changes, why are we, always, asking, "will it be good"?

Don't ask, just go.

Saturday dawn, beside me a glass of peach juice with vodka, behind me the stuff I'm setting up
for the travel, in front of me my future and the world with all opportunities and inside of me a
lot of courage and pride of myself.
Go ahead and do not give up! That's my law, for now.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

The most feelings I've ever felt in my entire life was: happines, passion, excitation, courage, hope. But none of them was more rewarding then the proud I'm feeling for now, of myself.

I celebrate my choice, my courage, my audacity, my authenticity.

I am quite proud about who I am!

I did not sleep on tuesday and woke up only on thursday, with everything done, like I wanted.
But I've got to sleep on thursday with everything done. Completed mission.
And then, I knew the best feeling of all. The rebirth.
I understood that when something is given to us, nobody can take it away.
It's a law.

Thank's God!

:: LECO QUOTES ::

I'd like to fall sleep today and wake up only on thursday,
with everything done, everything in my hands.
No doubts, no questions, no nothing.
But, when it comes for reality, we cannot runaway from it.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

In a certain point of our lives, achieving the ability of being and living alone is something like hold on our own life, strongly.
Knowing yourself, your willings, your deffects, your virtues, in other words, who you really are.
It's like a power.
And, after this, comes an alarming thought: when we are together somebody, are we giving up on this power?

:: HAPPY NEW YEAR! ::

Um bolo não existe se você não separar as claras das gemas e batê-las em neve, peneirar o trigo e o açúcar, adicionar o fermento, misturar tudo na medida e na hora certa e colocar no forno para assar. Fora isso, nunca passará de uma simples receita de bolo num velho papel de pão.

É a mesma coisa que acontece com a nossa vida. E no ano de 2010, aprendi que o destino existe sim e funciona como um receita de bolo.

Ele tá ali, as coisas vêm para você, as oportunidades caem no seu colo, mas se você não organizar seus ingredientes, não se esforçar para fazê-los acontecer, não se levantar para buscar seu lugar ao sol, o destino não passará de uma velha receita de bolo naquele papel velho de vinte-e-poucos-anos.

Inove. Tenha Idéias. Ouse.

2000 e Ouse!

:: INICIATIVA ::

A mudança vem a partir da iniciativa. E a iniciativa floresce a partir da vontade de mudar. É um moto-contínuo.

The change comes with the initiative of each one. And the initiative blooms from the willing to change. It's something like a perpetual motion.

After eight years, we decided to meet ourselves, again. And, fatally, couldn't be better than it was. The same intimacy, the same fun. We're still the same, but we are not the same. Confusion. We are all adults, but with the magic of the teenagers we were. Ain't it funny?
Some castles destroyed, some dreams stolen. A few of deceptions, a lot of desillusions. Those lot of experiences changed our minds, but we did not lost our essences.
Our smile, our able to laugh about life and all storms it has. As we ever did.
Losing eight years of life together was a bullshit. I`m sure about this.
And after this, I couldn't help, but wonder: why do we always procrastinate this kind of thing? Why are we always sabotaging ourselves?

I was missing you, friends. A lot.

Prays the legend that if it rains on Immaculate Conception's day it will rain on Christmas' day. Or, if it being a sunny day on 8th December, it will be a sunny day on 25th December, as well.
Listening this legend, I started thinking about expectations and the attempts of the people to know about something that still going to happen.
I couldn't help, but wonder: why are we, always, searching about tomorrow?

:: LECO QUOTES ::

Later that day, after all heat, buses and troubles, I started thinking about being older.
Because, when it comes for life, we need the experience that comes from the years of all life long.
Being older means being smarter.
And by the grace of God, I had this wisdom walking beside me, guiding me.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

To feel afraid is the most commom thing of all. Everybody feels it, everyday. Every single moment.
And the fear can bring back to us only two other feelings: the cowardice and the courage.
Each one make your choice.
I do prefer the courage. Ever.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

Talking about histories, I started thinking about Grammar. Sometimes, in our lives, we have to think like we’re in a grammar class. Just because when it comes for relationships, we can use a period, a comma or an ellipsis.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

After that night with three different bars, cocktails and music, I started thinking about signs.
I'm not sure about them. I don't recognize them, perhaps. Or I don't believe them.
I don't know.
The only stuff I really understand comes from eyes.
Because there's nothing, for me, but glances.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

Later, after that confused, exciting, particular and fast day, I started thinking about time.
There's no too much time, neither few time. The point is: there's just the right time.
Nothing more, nothing less.
In fact, everything has an expiration date.
Make your life worth. Every single moment.
And never forget: your time is coming soon.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

I'm not sure about nothing, now.
But something deep inside makes me feel completely sure.

:: HURRICANE ::

I believe behind every storm there's a shining light.
Even because what brings the light may be the storm.
I don't know.

:: LECO QUOTES ::

After an afternoon with many laughs, jokes and cheers about me, here's an alarming thought: I take, understand and have a hard speech about the "alone" status in life, but, actually, I don't feel myself alone. I don't even see myself alone.
There's a huge difference between these two situations.
