Just Breathe

Raquel Paiva July 11, 2015


There are moments in our lives that we find ourselves stuck. Like we are stuck in the middle of the sea without a boat, a Canoe, or any tools to help us to get back to the ground.


Existem momentos em nossas vidas no quais nos sentimos presos. Como se estivéssemos presos no meio do mar sem um barco, canoa, ou remos para nos ajudar a chegar de volta à terra.

I am currently living in NYC, and I cannot explain how much I wanted to be here, and how much it was my dream. It was not easy to get this far, but it was an illusion to think that everything would be beautiful. Of course, as anyone else anywhere else in the world, there are times when we think that we might not be doing the best choice. Or moments when our worries about the future prevent us from seeing today's possibilities.


Eu atualmente moro em Nova Iorque, e nao tenho como explicar o quanto eu quis estar aqui, o quanto isso era meu sonho. Nao foi facil chegar ate aqui, mas inlusao minha achar que iria ser tudo lindo. E claro que como qualquer outro lugar do mundo, e qualquer outra pessoa, tem horas em que achamos que o que estamos fazendo talvez nao seja a melhor escolhar, ou as preocupacoes com o future nos impedem de enxergar as possibilidades do hoje.

I am very anxious, to the point of having heartburn thinking about the future. I just want to plan everything ahead. But I am learning more and more about how important it is to have some time to sit back, relax, and just breathe.


Eu sou muito ansiosa, do ponto de ter gastrite nervosa pensando no futuro. Mas tenho aprendido cada vez mais o quanto é importante ter um tempo pra mim mesma. Tem horas que só preciso sentar, relaxer, e respirar!

Because no matter how organized I am, or the willpower I have, certain things need time to happen. We must learn to respect time. We have to work hard to achieve our goals, but also be patient to wait for the right time. Meanwhile, take a deep breath! Just breathe!


Porque nao importa o quão organizada eu seja, ou a força de vontade gigante que eu tenho, tem coisas que só irão acontecer com o tempo. Precisamos aprender a respeitar o tempo. E enquanto os nossos objetivos nao se concretizam, a gente respire fundo! Just breathe!

 This dress I'm wearing is from Brazil! I am very proud to wear something so beautiful, colorful, and with those bold prints portraying my tropical country.


Esse vestido que eu estou usando veio do Brasil! Muito orgulho de usar algo tao bonito, e com cores e estampas que retratam tanto o meu pais tropical.
