Aguardo, equânime, o que não conheço —

Aguardo, equânime, o que não conheço —

Meu futuro e o de tudo.

No fim tudo será silêncio, salvo

Onde o mar banhar nada.

Odes de Ricardo Reis . Fernando Pessoa. 

Grow up

«Most people don’t grow up. It’s so damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards. They find parking spaces. They marry. They have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older, but to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It means you take responsibility for the time you take up and the space you occupy. Grow up.” 

Maya Angelou
