There’s a Brazilian song that has been echoing in my mind, in fact, I have the feeling it played in looping last night in my sleep. It was the first thing I thought about this morning. It is called Vaca Profana by Caetano Veloso, and its first lines say:
Coincidentally or not (I rather believe NOT), I woke up feeling so great today. Took a moment to think about the past days and realised how even bad days are there to make us keep moving. I can't be ashamed for those feelings, because it is a sign I’m not comfortable and something has to be changed, and I can only laugh and be in peace once I know what I can learn from it.
It seems like pain is the cement that lays the bricks of our soul together. Maybe that’s how life is build, and we should embrace it too, it has a purpose in the end.
Happiness shouldn't be more important than sorrow, but neither sorrow should invalidate our happy days.
Today I am feeling pretty good, and I’ll enjoy as long it lasts, be ready for the not so great ones, and keep dancing life’s tune, for better or worse, not leaving anything behind.
Thanks for reading,
B
