“Someday you will find yourself laughing at a joke when you thought you would never be happy again. You will find yourself smiling and admiring the beauty of the mountains, when the world once felt so cruel and unforgiving. And maybe when trotting on the back of a horse, you will hear your heart beating, I'm still here. I'm still here.”

“Sinto o calor de uma tarde de verão E um vento calmo mas persistente Talvez leve com ele a minha solidão Que em mim toca insistentemente Estou triste, muito triste até Mas não quero largar este sentimento As distrações prazerosas não ajudam A perceber o meu tormento Não foi só porque partiste que estou assim Também perdi o meu propósito O que é que quero para mim? Qual é o meu caminho? Ainda estou a descobri-lo aos poucos, devagarinho.”

“If I am on the move and not in one place, then I can perhaps outrun myself. If I linger, then like dark flies on a dead deer, the memories and thoughts land and terror seems to fester and pull me in. I cannot bear to be at [home], where too many people will be watching me, waiting for something to happen, waiting for me to sink or swim, when all I want to do is float, as I did in hospital when the present was held at bay.”
