This belongs to "The Book Thief", a very nice movie that made me cry a lot because of its unexpected ending! I love it and I love this scene. Sometimes we have to do just what we have to do; what we think is right in that moment, what makes us happy. In the future, if we realize that was not the best choice, there's no point to look back, regret our decision and wonder why we made it. At that point, in that circunstances, that seemed the best decision, the right choice. Of course it's very easy, in the future, look back, see what went wrong and regret what's now a very clear bad decision. But of course sometimes there's no way to realize all the consequences of our choices and there's no point to regret a decision we made in the past thinking it was the right thing. In that moment that seemed the right thing. And therefore it was. Sometimes we have to do just what we have to.

Books - A trip to another world

Today I finished the book I was reading for the last few days! I'm really happy because I do not remember the last time I read a book which is not related to veterinary medicine. I used to read a lot when I was younger, I loved phantasy, adventure or a good love story but since I started the university I could never finish a book again. I think the last time I did it was in the 1st grade of the university, so almost 8 years ago! I do not really know why, maybe because of the workload we had and so many things we had to read ... There was not much space and time left! I tried a few times but I could never finish the book, I always got tired of it, lost the interest or the patience ... But this time I did it! It was so relaxing and felt so good! The book I was reading is the fourth of a trilogy (well, now is not a trilogy anymore) called Sevenwaters, it's a novel that takes place in Ireland with a touch of magic. I read the previous three books a long time ago and I loved them. This one was not any different. The narrator is always a strong, brave woman. They all belong to the same family, just some generations apart. I wish I could be more like them in certain points, although I could indentify myself with them sometimes. But the best part is, while I was reading, I totaly dove into another world. I almost forgot that feeling. In that moment I was not in my bedroom, but seeing the world from the eyes of my storyteller, living her adventure and feeling her feelings. This time I was in Ireland, but I could be anywhere else.

I will definitely read more books this year, it's a promise!

Saudades tuas...

Sintra.

Sempre tão mística e mágica. Sempre com algo por desvendar, algo novo por descobrir, não importa quantas vezes já passámos pelos seus caminhos e jardins. Adoro Sintra, é sempre tão especial... Nunca me farto de Sintra, por mais vezes que vá. Aqueles jardins escondem muita coisa, boas memórias, memórias felizes. Sempre que lá vou lembro-me de ti. Tenho saudades tuas. Espero que estejas bem e feliz. Já há tanto tempo que não sei nada de ti... Há dias que nem penso em ti, mas há dias que sinto uma saudade tão forte que aperta o coração... Se nos cruzássemos outra vez gostava de te dar um último abraço e acreditar que ias deixar de cruzar os meus pensamentos...
