Meu sonho tolo

O que chamaram de "ter paz"

Sou eu calada de forma contumaz

Não querem ouvir a minha voz

Só querem ser meu algoz

Meu corpo, meus pensamentos

Tudo virou fonte de tormento

Se algo errado me acontece

Sou culpada pelo que me entristece

Sou acusada de cometer erros

E culpada por meu próprio desterro

Por não usar as palavras certas

Por deixar as portas abertas

Por não me fazer diminuta

Por não cuidar da minha conduta

Por me opor à sua vontade

Por acreditar na sua bondade

Agora estou sozinha e perdida

Magoada, difamada e aturdida

Minha vida perdeu todo o sentido

Em um pranto doloroso e contido

Minha única esperança é fugir

Deixar tudo para trás, desistir

Em meu íntimo, busco consolo

Por acreditar em um sonho tolo.

The wrong side of history

I never wanted to be seen
The right kind of feminist
The right kind of woman
The right kind of activist

Not in my wildest dreams
I wished to be perceived
The best part of a man
Or the woman behind
Of what they achieved

I am me, unapologetic me
My own, ever improved version
Despite their wishes to see
Us, women, in our own private prison

My "likes" and my "follows"
Forever a source of sorrow
For the thought police to borrow
To call us bigot tomorrow

We, in the wrong side of history
Who are the wrong kind of feminists
Labeled the wrong kind of activists
Seen as the wrong kind of women
We, with this damning feminist theory

Esmagando a minha vontade

Esmagando a minha vontade

Passo a passo, dia a dia
Sou reduzida a uma fração
Do que eu poderia ser

Quando você crescer
Quando você for mãe
Quando você casar
Quando você amar
Quando você falar
Quando você sair
Quando você rir
Quando você partir

Faça tudo da maneira
Que a sociedade estipulou
Pois quando a mulher desobedece
"Onúcleo familiar esmorece"

Faça tudo em silêncio
Não queremos ouvir sua voz

Não ouse fazer escolhas
Feche a boca, use as rolhas que te demos

Nós não merecemos siquer
A insurbordinação de uma mulher

Grumpy about quitting smoking?

Hey! I'm curious about something. What have changed the most in your life after you quit smoking?

I quit smoking for the second time in my life at new year's Eve! Seriously, 31/12/19 was the last day I smoked. That's the inspiration for the Grumpy Guide to Quit Smoking, out now on Amazon


For me, it has definitely to be the fact that I never smoked indoors - I always had to go outside to have a fag.

I have lived in for European countries so far, and France - the current one - is the most similar to Brazil at this point because you can find buildings with a door on the corridor where you can throw away the litter - you don't need to get to the ground floor and take the litter to the back of the building, like in UK, in Portugal and in Spain.

Now that I'm not smoking anymore, I'm also not taking the litter out so regularly and it the big grey bags accumulate at an astonishing rate!

Count your blessings and all that?
