Frases de Dorothy Koomson

“Quando se segue um caminho, rumo a uma mudança na nossa vida, não vale a pena parar para cheirar as rosas, digam os famosos livros de auto-ajuda o que disserem. As rosas têm espinhos, e cheirá-las pode ter muito maus resultados. Uma pessoa pode auto-mutilar-se ao fim de anos sem o fazer e acabar por passar a noite no chão da casa de banho, demasiado fraca para se mexer. Parar para cheirar as rosas pode enterrar essa pessoa debaixo de toneladas de memórias de tempos e de coisas que fez que preferia esquecer. Pode acabar por se lembrar que tem um propósito na vida e obrigar-se a voltar ao plano inicial, sabendo, no entanto, que, se não se tivesse distraído com as rosas, já poderia ter alcançado os seus objectivos.”

“Se ouviram, sabem que só me resta fazer uma coisa: deitar-me aqui à beira-mar, na minha praia coberta de pétalas de rosa e entregar-me ao meu sono interminável.”

“É o que faz a mente humana, descobre provas para apoiar aquilo em que acreditamos.”

“Far too many people opened their hearts and lives at the drop of a hat. Why give someone that power over you? Why endow them with the ability to hurt you that much? Let someone in and you were asking for an emotional kicking some day.”

“When you can't be honest with people, you can't ever relax with them.”

“Old pain doesn't completely die. Time may soothe it, stoke over it until it looks like it has healed, but it never dies properly. It stays with you, it lives in the cracks of your soul, waiting for moments when you feel true pain”

“It's the ones you love the most who can lift you in an instant, and destroy you without trying.”

“Crying was an acceptable outlet, even if it made you feel raw and empty inside, it was still better than that build up of resentment that grew from not letting your emotions out.

“That's what came from having romance in your soul. You believe in things like love at first sight and perfect presents.”
