So, by accident, i just found a blog that makes me feel head over heels for it.

I would say that her life and her pictures beautifully represent a kind of life that everyone dreams about. At least, it is what i see myself doing! :)

I love the fact that she keeps recording everything of her daily life in photos, including her handmade jobs, pics of her family, her job (as a school teacher), some facts of her past, her childhood and so on.

It is truly nice to read it when you want new and good ideas for your life!

People.

"I don´t believe in human soul. I never have. I believe that people are like portmanteux - packed with certain things, started going, thrown about, tossed away, dumped down, lost and found, half emptied suddenly, or squeezed fatter than ever, until finally the Ultimate Porter swings them on to the Ultimate Train and away they rattle..."

Je Ne Parle Pas Français - Katherine Mansfield, in Bliss and other stories, 1920.

Falling.

The cold is finally getting here together with the high and strong winds of November.

Although i find this very fascinating, i can´t wait to see my dears in my hometown again.

But at the same time i am so nervous. I don´t know what i can expect, because it´s the first time i´ve been so long away from home. I wish i could have more time there to divide myself to everybody, but i am afraid it´s not gonna be possible.

The one that i really want to be with is my beloved 14-year-old cat, who is actually very sick...this makes me very sad, because she´s like my own skin, a part of me.

Until there, in fifteen days, i will try to enjoy my friends here as much as i can, because i´m coming back only in January and stay here for another long time.

I do feel.

...old and cold today.

I´d rather fly.

When I have a bad day, all i can think is me and a very nice song and a beautiful place to forget my misfortunes.

The place i chose is this one on the picture, which is, by the way, outstanding.

This place makes me feel better, because it´s rainy, lonely, silent and cold. It gives me a peace of mind.

This is a piece of the Douro river and i´m lucky enough to have it at just 3 minutes from where i live.

Now, this is the song which matches my mood and this view:

The Crystal Ship, The Doors

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss
Another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again
We'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry
I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back
I'll drop a line

#9 Dream(s).

So, i´m still daydreaming about rooms and houses. It´s nice because i truly have some inspiration plans for my future house, maybe we get a real one next year. It´s only depending if we´re still living here during Phd or not. Hope so... :)

Toys in the Attic: i like the fact that attics aren´t necessary a place to keep old things inside it. On the contrary: they were built to be a room of one´s own!

This one reminds me living in a dollhouse...perfect!

Bedrooms and living rooms: they are my favourite places in a house.

Lots and lots of books and pictures on the wall...

Her apartment is totally inspirational...

Books again, all over the place...

This is a "just you and me" living room...

I love this view from this pretty bedroom...and i love the fact that there is also a cat in it!

Since me and hubby are teachers and nerds, we love reading books and comic books.

Therefore, we really dream living in a small apartment where we can place all his collection of comics, my peanuts collection of comics, our toy collection (his DC and Marvel figures and my Snoopy collection figures), all over the place.

Books are part of our both professional e spiritual life. I really love places that keep books everywhere, because you never feel lonely when you have them by your side all the time.

I totally fell head over feet with this pic.

How gorgeous were these two?

A room of one´s own.

I dream about a house in many colours. I believe my life dreams about colours. All of them, actually.

Since I was 15 i dreamed about having my own place - space. A room just for myself, where i could feel apart from the world outside for some moments. But i keep wondering: why is it so difficult to "conquer" our own space? This is an old time question. Virgina Woolf once talked about it, in 1929, in her famous essay A Room of One´s Own: "(...)a woman must have money and a room of her own if she wants to write fiction".

What Virginia Woof said about it is basically that everybody (in this specific case, the women) needs independency and a space to do what they want.

My case does not stand to writing fiction, but about one having his/her own space, to do whatever they want. I feel that this quote, however, fits very well in every situation. Just change "writing fiction" to "do something you love, in a space you love".

More than never i realized how much home means one´s identity. It doesn´t matter where you live or where you are. Everyone needs a place-space to "feel at home". It gets even more important if you live in cold weather places, where you spend most of your time at home.

Well, lately, in my life, i´ve been changing places a lot. First, from my mother´s house to my boyfriend´s house; then, to our own apartment and then to our room (residence hall) in Porto.

Living in this room is quite nice, although is just a room and a bathroom (and it´s warm enough during the winter!). But, it´s basically a room, and, unfortunately, you are not allowed to make any changes in this space.

As we grow older, all we keep thinking is settling down. And i don´t mean only getting married and having babies, but most important: having our own space in some place.

These pics are truly an inspiration for the time when i finally get a real home:

This is a nice place to read a book, have a cup of hot coco, talk to friends or listen to music:

I see myself having sweet dreams in a room like this one:

I could spend days and days in this home office:

{we heart it!}

Oh, I could die for you.

weheartit.

Something inside the cards i know is right.
Don’t wanna live somebody elses life.
This is what i wanna be,
And this is what i give to you because i get it free
She smiles while i do my time.

I could die for you.
Oh this life I choose.

I’m here to be your only go-between,
To tell you of the sights this eyes have seen.
What I really wanna do is turn into the motion beauty that i can abuse.
You know that I use my senses just to.
You can see that.
It’s only everywhere.
I’d take it on and then.
I’d find a way to share.
Come along and go along with me.
Wonder with me, yo, it´s all for free.

I could die for you
What you wanna do
Oh this life I choose.

watch it here: I could die for you - red hot chili peppers

It is very nice when a whole album used to make you so sad and suddenly it doesn´t do it anymore.

Time.

I hated you. I loved you, too.
