Look Nº 843 - Bittersweet Symphony!

Olá queridos amigos e leitores! Hoje trago-vos um lindo pôr do sol que simboliza, para mim, o final do Verão. Este fim de ciclo sempre me trouxe uma sensação agridoce, os dias começam a encolher, as folhas das árvores a cair. É uma nostalgia profunda que sinto. É como que se o Verão estivesse a despedir, deixando no ar uma sensação de perda ou de algo inacabado.

Hello dear friends and readers! Today I bring you a beautiful sunset that symbolises the end of summer for me. This end of the cycle has always brought me a bittersweet feeling, as the days begin to shrink and the leaves fall from the trees. It's a deep nostalgia that I feel. It's as if summer is saying goodbye, leaving a sense of loss or something unfinished in the air.


Desde que me lembro, que esta época do ano  ser bastante díficil para mim. O voltar às aulas era um desafio, lembro-me de ter de acordar muito, muito, cedo para apanhar o comboio, uma viagem longa, feita ainda de noite, e depois uma longa caminhada para chegar à escola. Esse trajecto diário deixou marcas, não era apenas uma ida para a escola, era todo um cansaço acumulado antes mesmo do dia começar.
 
For as long as I can remember, this time of year has been very difficult for me. Going back to school was a challenge, I remember having to wake up very, very early to catch the train, a long journey, made at night, and then a long walk to get to school. That daily journey left its mark, it wasn't just a journey to school, it was all the tiredness accumulated before the day even began.

Talvez por isso eu associe o final do Verão a essa sensação de incerteza e ansiedade. A ideia de um novo começo nunca foi fácil para mim. Há algo no desconhecido que sempre me deixou inquieta. Agora, mesmo tantos anos depois, essa sensação persiste. Sinto-a agora, mais forte do que nunca. Ainda que eu adore escrever e fazer posts no blog, sinto-me sem energia, sem vontade de criar, como que se este novo ciclo sugasse toda a minha motivação, e é esta a razão para não haver os Looks da Semana!!!
 
Perhaps that's why I associate the end of summer with this feeling of uncertainty and anxiety. The idea of a new beginning has never been easy for me. There's something about the unknown that has always made me uneasy. Now, even so many years later, that feeling persists. I feel it now, stronger than ever. Even though I love writing and posting on the blog, I feel drained of energy, I don't feel like creating, as if this new cycle has sucked all my motivation out of me, and that's why there's no Looks of the Week post!!!

Olho para as fotos do pôr do sol e tento encontrar algum conforto nas cores quentes e no brilho suave. Penso que o fim de algo pode ser o começo de outra coisa. Boa. Mas, mesmo assim, não consigo evitar a tristeza que vem com a despedida do Verão. Talvez seja uma fase, um momento de transição que, como o pôr do sol, acabará por passar. Mas, por agora, é um desafio que sempre carregarei comigo, marcado pela nostalgia de um Verão que se despede e um novo começo que parece ser sempre, a cada ano,  mais díficil!
 
I look at the sunset photos and try to find some comfort in the warm colours and the soft glow. I think that the end of something can be the beginning of something else. Good. But even so, I can't help the sadness that comes with saying goodbye to summer. Perhaps it's a phase, a moment of transition that, like the sunset, will eventually pass. But for now, it's a challenge that I'll always carry with me, marked by the nostalgia of a summer that's saying goodbye and a new beginning that always seems to be more difficult every year!




Como banda sonora para este post, escolhi a música dos The Verve "Bittersweet Symphony". A vida é essa mistura de momentos doces e amargos, ouvir esta música pode trazer memórias e sentimentos que todos nós, em algum momento da nossa vida, já experimentámos! E, acho que combina muito bem com a intensidade emocional deste texto!
 
As the soundtrack for this post, I chose The Verve's song ‘Bittersweet Symphony’. Life is such a mixture of sweet and bitter moments, listening to this song can bring back memories and feelings that we've all experienced at some point in our lives! And I think it goes very well with the emotional intensity of this text!

  1. Elegante look, lindos olhares e interessante reflexão.
    Também sou como a Marisa, o desconhecido deixa-me sempre inquieta e insegura.
    Um tranquilo e excelente Setembro.
    Beijinhos

  2. This is such a beautiful outfit, Marisa. I absolutely love your top. I have mixed emotions at this time of year - I'm always really excited for new beginnings and have so many projects but at the same time I feel really tired!

  3. I understand. I feel like every change of seasons is a trade. I like the cooler weather, but not the shorter days. And as a teacher, it's always hard to let go of summer. But the daily routine has its rewards, too.

    The sunset is certainly beautiful.

  4. My favorite literary character, the Little Prince, said: You know, when it's very sad, you love sunsets... And there's something about it, in these warm, soothing moments full of colors... I also always feel nostalgic when it ends summer. Even though school was close to me and I was still studying far from home, I associate summer with warmth and freedom...

    And then I miss that summer for the next few months...
    And the song you chose is great.
    You look beautiful, as always. Best regards and I wish you a successful new week, despite everything. Hugs!

  7. Autumn always brings some sadness and nostalgy and when there is already some level of aprehention, autumn becomes really heavy to deal with. I hope you will get to find order and support in all this because I know you don't lack courage. Stay strong and keep trusting yourself, you know what is best for you@

  10. Living where it feels like summer all year round, I don’t experience the same shift in seasons, but your words bring me closer to that feeling of transition. While I’m surrounded by endless warmth and sunshine, I can imagine the nostalgia and beauty that comes with saying goodbye to summer.

    Your outfit is beautiful and you look fabulous, Marisa.

  12. Também comungo desse sentimento que se apodera de si no final do verão, com toda essa carga de nostalgia. E depois parece que o inverno se torna mais longo e que nunca mais acaba.
    Resta-me a luz que emana de si própria com toda a intensidade que lhe dá brilho.
    Abraço de amizade.

  15. I am the opposite, I get excited by the changing leaves, the shorter days and the cooler temperatures. Autumn is my favorite season. However, my gloom comes at the first snowfall. I am not fond of winter and how long it draws out until the warmth of spring returns. I do understand the lack of motivation when you are feeling a sense of uncertainty. I do hope your spirits lift again soon!

  16. What a beautiful styling! I really like the bow top.
    Fantastic sunset photos...such a divine location!
    It makes one long for summer.
    I understand your feeling of uncertainty...as a kid, I didn't use to look forward to coming back to school.
    I think it's normal to feel bittersweet sadness when the summer ends.
    I enjoy the change of seasons, but there's something melancholic about the summer to autumn transition.

  17. Mie toamna imi aduce multa bucurie. Multitudinea de culori ale frunzelor, bogatia fructelor si legumelor, ca si timpul placut, imi aduc multa bucurie in suflet. Dupa o vara, in care abia am respirat din cauza temperaturilor foarte mari si in care cu greu am facut ceea ce trebuie, toamna ma readuce la viata si fac cu placere multe lucruri.
    Iti doresc o toamna in care sufletul tau sa simta si bucurie.

    1. Translation:
      Fall brings me a lot of joy. The multitude of colors of the leaves, the richness of fruits and vegetables, as well as the pleasant weather, bring a lot of joy to my soul. After a summer, in which I hardly breathed because of the very high temperatures and in which I hardly did the right things, fall brings me back to life and I do many things with pleasure.
      I wish you a fall in which your soul will also feel joy.
