Look Nº 842 - Smalltown Girl!

 Olá meus queriduchos, esta foto acho que merece esta saudação😁

Vocês não sabem, mas eu escrevo para o mundo inteiro a partir de uma pequena localidade de Portugal, um lugar onde todos se conhecem e sabem da vida uns dos outros ou pensam que sabem! Aqui, é como viver numa novela, com todos os tipos de personagens, há pessoas boas, amigas, sinceras, trabalhadoras, mas também há pessoas falsas, curiosas, arrogantes, mentirosas, perigosas, outras que se acham de uma casta superior, há ainda quem viva de aparências, mas escondem muitos esqueletos no armário!

 Hello my darlings, I think this photo deserves this greeting😁

You don't know it, but I write for the whole world from a small town in Portugal, a place where everyone knows each other and knows about each other's lives, or thinks they do! Here, it's like living in a soap opera, with all kinds of characters, there are good, friendly, sincere, hard-working people, but there are also people who are false, curious, arrogant, liars, dangerous, others who think they are from a higher caste, there are even those who live for appearances, but who hide many skeletons in the wardrobe!

 Uma coisa que me incomoda profundamente é a ideia de ficar em casa o dia inteiro. Preciso das minhas caminhadas diárias e faço questão de sair todos os dias, sempre na companhia da minha mãe. No entanto, algumas pessoas nesta localidade acham  que isso é uma coisa degradante, para mim é uma coisa salutar!. Para elas, as minhas doenças são algo de que eu me deveria envergonhar e, portanto, deveria ficar reclusa da minha própria doença.

 One thing that bothers me deeply is the idea of staying at home all day. I need my daily walks and I make a point of going out every day, always in the company of my mum. However, some people in this neighbourhood think it's a degrading thing, for me it's a healthy thing! For them, my illnesses are something I should be ashamed of, and therefore I should be confined to my own illness, like a recluse!

Eu não dou importância a essas opiniões. Vivo a minha vida de maneira tranquila. Aceitar uma doença e manter uma atitude positiva não significa resignar-se. Mas sim reduzir o stress e a ansiedade, factores que muitas vezes agravam os sintomas. Aceitar a doença e rodear-se de amor e compreensão está associado a uma melhor qualidade de vida e pode transformar significativamente a experiência de viver com uma condição de saúde, resultando num aumento do bem estar emocional!

I don't care about these opinions. I live my life quietly. Accepting an illness and maintaining a positive attitude doesn't mean resigning yourself. It does mean reducing stress and anxiety, factors that often aggravate symptoms. Accepting illness and surrounding yourself with love and understanding is associated with a better quality of life and can significantly transform the experience of living with a health condition, resulting in increased emotional well-being!

Uma doença não é motivo para se ter vergonha ou para se esconder. É algo que enfrentamos e com a qual lutamos. É uma oportunidade para dar e receber amor, costuma-se dizer que é na doença que as pessoas revelam quem realmente são. Enquanto não aceitarmos as nossas condições, nunca seremos felizes com o que temos. Infelizmente, há quem esconda as suas doenças porque já riu das enfermidades alheias. Rir de uma doença ou de uma pessoa doente, é sinal de mau carácter! Eu simplesmente não consigo descer a esse nível!

Illness is nothing to be ashamed of or hide behind. It's something we face and struggle with. It's an opportunity to give and receive love, and it's often said that it's in illness that people reveal who they really are. Until we accept our conditions, we will never be happy with what we have. Unfortunately, some people hide their illnesses because they've laughed at other people's illnesses. Laughing at an illness or a sick person is a sign of bad character! I simply can't stoop to that level!

Vamos enfrentar os nossos desafios com coragem e dignidade e, lembrar que cada um de nós tem o direito de viver a sua vida à sua maneira, com respeito e amor!

Sejam felizes e riam-se disso!


Let's face our challenges with courage and dignity and remember that each of us has the right to live our lives in our own way, with respect and love!

Be happy and laugh about it!

Como banda sonora deste post escolhi a música "Smalltown Boy" de Jimmy Somerville, esta música é um hino sobre a procura por um lugar seguro e acolhedor, para aqueles que sofrem e enfrentam a discriminação e a exclusão, numa sociedade com mentalidade preconceituosa e, acreditem que nesta pequena localidade onde vivo, é ainda do tempo da ditadura onde muitos foram bufos!

As the soundtrack for this post I've chosen the song ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Jimmy Somerville. This song is an anthem about the search for a safe and welcoming place for those who suffer and face discrimination and exclusion in a society with a prejudiced mentality and, believe me, in this small town where I live, it's still from the time of the dictatorship where many were snitches!

DISCLAIMER: Como é meu apanágio, vou ser súbtil e elegante nesta abordagem. Existem pessoas que de forma equivocada pensam que o universo gira à sua volta. Essas pessoas frequentemente partilham histórias, autênticas tragédias gregas, que além de duvidosas e inverossímeis desconsideram e desvalorizam as verdadeiras dificuldades enfrentadas por outros. Esta falta de empatia e uma visão egocêntrica da sua vida, revela que só vêem o próprio umbigo. Declaro que para essas pessoas não tenho o mínimo de paciência!

DISCLAIMER: As is my wont, I'm going to be subtle and elegant in this approach. There are people who mistakenly think that the universe revolves around them. These people often share stories, veritable Greek tragedies, which, as well as being dubious and far-fetched, disregard and devalue the real difficulties faced by others. This lack of empathy and self-centred view of their lives shows that they only see their own navel. I declare that I don't have the slightest bit of patience for these people!

 

 

Thanks for reading!!!

    1. People don't understand my attitude because they're weak, they think too much about appearances and what others might think! I don't live for that! I live for myself and for what makes me feel good and walking does me a lot of good! Hugs!

  6. That was the main reason I moved to a bigger city from a small town; curious people. Walks were strange for them in general, especially those alone.

    I agree - laughing at illness, sick people is a sign of bad character.

    The most important thing is that you feel good and look beautiful :)
    Best regards

    1. Thanks Ewa!
      But I'm not planning to move from here, not least because I have a car and I go to bigger cities quickly. I can tell from your comment that you understand what I'm talking about! Anyone who doesn't conform to the standards of so-called normality is always the target of curiosity, the problem is that we all have glass ceilings and when it comes to them that's the great tragedy! But laughing at others is so much easier! It's a shame there are people with such a limited mentality, the old ones don't surprise me, they've never left here, but it's the new and literate ones that shock me!

  9. You look gorgeous, Marisa, and I fully agree with your attitude. I cannot understand how anyone could laugh at someone's illness. It shows a complete lack of empathy

  11. I agree with you. As the proverb says- when the times get tough, the tough get going.
    Having an illness doesn't mean we should hide away.
    If we live our lives fully with a chronic illness, we can inspire others.
    Honesty, walks are essential for my well being!

    Very beautiful feminine styling. I love that corset style top.
