A different perspective of the world we live in, is my reality. To much "common sense" in existing societies, but as humans, we personally observe, the people around us, the world, the very existence and our personal value. For that, Carpe Diem is the motto of this blog. Global wakening, unity, in a personal but also social and political view, where art have a privileged place. I do not set goals for happiness, my future memories are being made now, in each present.
This was a more personal Blog, a few years ago, where I've used my passion for creative writing, in my mother language, Portuguese. But, as all of us, during these last years, my passion has turned to the Global awakening, happening in the last decades. Mainly, a Human view.
This Global movement, that especially, has grown so much through internet accessibility, it has allowed the contact between different cultures and mentalities. A more reasonable understanding of our differences and for sure our personal development, once that this kind of connection is not so manipulated by mainstream media.
Once that I don't want to change all my previous creations, I will leave the blog just as it is, so this way a better understanding of my personal metamorphosis, will be better perceptible..
My love for writing is now expressed in different ways, considering my state of mind, not following any pattern, which would limit myself and my writing. I don't look for inspiration. I'm instead inspired within triggers of photography, simple events, people or even just a sentence that sparks in my mind. Is my own way of putting out a turmoil of emotions and thoughts. My way to express the love I have for life, for people, but also my deep interest in our modern international system, shaping societies, politics and religious studies.
Consequently, I also share contents of writers, personalities, journalists, politicians,Humanists, anyone that inspires my writing, properly identified.
Feel free to share your thoughts and comments!
Carpe Diem for you all!

"Eternity is a feeling that never let go...
never comes out,
never grows in.
Is just there, established..
and denied from within.
Is, every time, the possibility to reach for it,
the advantage of always just put it back,
on his right place, sleeping.
Where no key is delivered,
no word is spelled,
except a reminder from time to time,
everything changes and flow,
the body dies slowly each day,
but that feeling stays in continuity,
eternal...eternal peace of mind.."

"It is not power that corrupts but fear (...) It is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption wich most distinguishes Man from the mere brute. At the root of Human responsibility is the concept of perfection, the urge to achieve it, the intelligence to find a path towards it, and the will to follow that path if not to the end at least the distance needed to rise above individual limitations and environmental impediments." - Aung San Suu Kyi 
Adicionar legenda
The Internet has been a tool, not a cause, of a social change. It has profoundly affected the way people communicate. It has made it easier for people to see the truth that powerful would rather hide, to learn from activists on the other side of the world, to co-ordinate campaigns without hierarchy and to expose governments and corporations to public ridicule. It has also helped those same governments and corporations to spy on activists, to disrupt campaigns, to spread their own messages through well-funded advertising and to create illusion of popular support." - Symon Hill

"The question is understandable, but so far no one has come up with a satisfactory answer.Why is England manufacturing bigger and better aeroplanes and bombs and at the same time churning out new houses for reconstruction?Why are millions spent on the war each day, while not a penny is available for medical science, artists or the poor?Why do people have to starve when mountains of food are rotting away in other parts of the World?Ho, why are people so crazy?
I don´t belive the War is simply the work of politicians and capitalists.Ho no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago! There´s a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder and kill. And untill all of Humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that had been carefully build up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start all over again!" - 3rd May 1944 - Anne Frank
"May all your dreams be found,
may all your wishes be connected,
with all the realities around you..
May all that you are be found within you
and no longer be lost,
May you always stay in our universal heart,
may I always be there when you need a stand,
may your happiness can no longer be counted by moments in your life,
but eternal...
with a new hope,
with a new breath."
Happy Birthday my dear friend!

"No matter why you celebrate Xmas, for religious reasons, for traditional ones, for, maybe the time this system aloud us to get together with our loving ones, doesn´t really matter why, or maybe don´t celebrate at all...I can´t explain what it means to me exactly, but also don´t feel I have to...
The truth is, we feel something special in this time of the year,maybe not...
So, whatever are your ideals, we all have a lot in common, what I wish is that you spend this night inside your different believes, in harmony, may your best present be your freedom, lot of our brothers and sisters cannot enjoy this. That your strength be your candles to lead your way, that your best wish be the protection of you all, Fight, Hope...
If it would be a Xmas miracle like is spoken about..well..what about a better World?..Merry Xmas to you all." - Vanusa Bogalho

"E mais um Natal...Esta época para mim dava-me saudade..dos meus Natais de infância.Perfeitos.Do cheiro a aguardente nas filhoses a levedar,do bacalhau a cozer,a aspirar já pela roupa-velha da avó na manhã seguinte,do circundar os presentes à espera de uma brecha no papel de embrulho,dos chocolates desaparecidos na árvore,da mesa posta na perfeição pela mãe,dos cânticos de Natal a soar pela casa durante dias,do Bolo Rei e o Tronco a disputarem o destaque na mesa,da meia noite que nunca mais chegava ao som da guitarra do mano...
Hoje,o Natal continua a ser saudade...do trabalho atribulado em casa e no ofício,do Sr joão a correr em stress pelas encomendas,da camisola vermelha que só vestia neste dia,do ajuntamento de amigos à última hora,dos brindes entre todos,do conseguir dividir o corpo entre o trabalho e os que esperavam a nossa companhia,da pouca vontade de todos de ir para casa de tão agradável o momento,dos sinceros abraços e beijos de desejos de Boas Festas..."Cá estaremos amanhã..."
Do soar do vidro no brinde final com o Sr João..a simbólica campaínha a dizer "está na hora"..
Obrigado a todos os que fazem parte de toda esta saudade doce no meu coração
Feliz Natal a todos " - Vanusa Bogalho


There is no changes with silence..but most people would still not speak for their believes...

"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't Catholic.
Then they came for Me,
and there was no one left to speak for Me." - Martin Niemoller

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
RIP my Dear Sis...
My dear Sis...
You just left an empty space in this World,
But millions of hearts fulfilled..

With your endless knowledge..
your strength, your fight..this One will never end,
Because we are One 
Let´s just say that your spot was huge on this One,
So a Huge piece of All of Us is missing now,,
Thank you for your words, you pulled me every time I lost my believe in something better...even when you didn´t had enough strength for yourself...
Your power was an example..
it will remain in all of us..
This is your eternity...You became the Idea nobody could never destroy, and death can never take it away.."You can´t kill an Idea" right?...
I will miss you Sis...  - Vanusa Bogalho
