"The path I've chosen is the path of love. It doesn't matter the pain, the suffering and the disappointments I'll have to face. I chose to be true. In my path, the embrace is tight, the handshake is sincere. So don't judge strange the way I smile at you and wish you all that is good. I am that person who believes in what is good, who lives in what is good, who aches for what is good. This is how I see life and this is the only way I believe life is worth living." Clarice Lispector

By Christopher Poindexter

"And in the end,
We're all just humans,
Drunk on the idea that love,
only love,
Could heal our brokenness."

I Am

I am broken
But I am whole
I am paralyzed
But when I fall,
I leap
I am scared
But I am the bravest
I am lost
But I can see the road ahead of me
I am good and bad
Simple and complicated
Angel and evil
I am a woman with male energy
I am a man with a feminine side
I am forever and absolute
Unique and infinite
I am an empty vessel for the pain I cherish
Because without it I have nothing to express
No words to trap on the blank page
I long for happiness
And longing is more than enough
It is plenty

Perdida

Era uma vez uma garota perdida.

Ela vivia num lugar entre as nuvens e a terra.

E seus pés nunca tocavam o chão

Ela respirava em vez de ar, solidão

Ela se alimentava, não de comida, mas de decepção.

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday dad. I was watching Gravity and thought, “I have to tell dad to watch this film, he’s gonna love it!!!” It took a couple of seconds before I thought, oh… Even after all this time, this still happens every once in a while. Like when you first wake up from a dream and it takes a minute to realize you’re awake. I love these moments because in these split seconds I believe you’re still here and I am happy. But I have to keep struggling to be this happy outside of these moments because that's what you'd have wanted. And what I’ve been discovering is that leading the kind of life you would have led, behaving the way you would have behaved, treating the people around me the way you would have treated them gets me pretty close to that goal. You are still the best man I have ever known. You are still, and will always be, the standard to which I hold myself and everyone else around me. So when I say to someone, “you remind me of my dad,” I can only hope they understand how huge a compliment that is... Bette Midler sang “Wind Beneath My Wings” at the Oscars last weekend -- she followed the theme song from "Somewhere in Time," one of our favorites and one of our favorite movies we never got tired of watching together over and over again -- It may be a cheesy sappy song but it has always made me think of you. I wish we had danced it at my wedding. That was going to be my surprise for you. I wish I had told you that. And this is why I cried Sunday night. Because I miss you and all the future moments we’re not going to have together. “It may have appeared to go unnoticed but I’ve got it all here in my heart…” please know I'm okay with the pain. I'm okay with missing you. I'd gladly take a lifetime of pain for any of the seconds we had together and as long as I think and talk and write about you, you will always be here sitting next to me watching Gravity. So RIP dad and Happy Birthday
