that night.
tenho que parar de pensar em você no meio dessas conversas sobre projetos e prazos. parar com esse sorrisinho bobo quando você me pergunta, todo casual, sobre o meu final de semana ou elogia o meu perfume. parar de puxar assunto com você durante o almoço ou querer te contar uma coisa engraçada que aconteceu só para ver o seu sorriso. aquele sorriso pretensioso que, surpreendentemente, me faz te...

“i feel like men are more romantic than women. when we get married we marry, like, one girl, ‘cause we’re resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think i’d be an idiot if i didn’t marry this girl, she’s so great. but it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option… oh, he’s got a good job. i mean, they...

girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a guy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we are told implores us to wait for it. the third act twist. the unexpected declaration of love. the exception to the rule.

1: i've been thinking about this whole "being happy" thing and i feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. we're always thinking that someday we'll be happy. you know, we'll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that'll fix everything. but happiness is a mood, it's a condition, not a destination. it's like being tired or hungry. it's not permanent. it comes and goes, and that's okay. and i feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often.
2: so, you think it's okay to be a little miserable every now and then... even when you have great things in your life?
1: is it okay to be a little hungry now and then?

underneath your clothes.
cabelo bagunçado, usando praticamente nada além da camisa que você esqueceu ontem, a luz fraca da cozinha disfarçando as panelas sujas na minha segunda tentativa de fazer um jantar. e no meio da chuva o vento sopra tão sutil, silencioso. quase um sussurro. seu nome surge na minha cabeça, como em uma dessas conversas que escutamos sem querer. talvez, talvez, eu sinta falta disso. aquele tipo de...

table for one, please.
sou aquela que diz ‘maybe i should get out more’ mas sempre encontra uma desculpa de última hora. a papelada do trabalho, o salto que resolveu quebrar em cima da hora, o filme que acabou de começar… a verdade é que nem me importo se aquele cara vai mesmo me ligar no dia seguinte ou se amanhã tenho um encontro marcado com o genro que minha mãe sempre quis ter. se eu pudesse...

love in this club.
te vejo ali sentado e começo a criar estratégias de aproximação na minha cabeça. milhares. um “oi”, um sorriso, um tropeço, um guardanapo emprestado. qualquer coisa. como se você fosse me notar nesse lugar lotado. como se essa morena do seu lado fosse te deixar sozinho em algum momento. te vejo abaixar a cabeça e rodar o copo de whisky pela terceira vez. ela diz alguma coisa e você simplesmente...
