The truth is, my hesitation to publish this post stems from the fact that I’m provoked almost daily by various people—even those very close to me—with one provocation and betrayal after another, which has caused me a great deal of suffering. These people’s goal is to get a reaction out of me, so they can then say I’m overreacting or rude, and play the part of the saint and the victim, while I’m the one left looking bad in this dirty game they’re so well-trained and advised to play. So, after this post—which is, in fact, a reaction to what they’re doing to me—I hope that on my blog, anyone who doesn’t like what they read can go on with their life and never come back! The door is always open for anyone who feels they’ve been called out to leave!

These are just three examples that come to mind, but I have plenty more to share! Would these people like it if I played mind games with them just because I think they should change their behavior? Would they accept my meddling in their lives? What a lack of awareness and respect for my life and privacy! What pathetic little people you’ve turned out to be—look at yourselves. Don’t you have anything better to do? Well, there are some good perks, aren’t there?
You should know that you have blood on your hands. I hope you have serious pangs of conscience about what you’re doing. Of course, if you did, you would have stopped this a long time ago! I ask once again:
Have I ever meddled in your lives?
Just so you know, I don’t pick up on smoke signals, light signals, or Morse code, so cut out those stupid mind games—they make you look really bad. Don't show up at my door or call me—I won't answer! I dedicate this Muse song, “Sunburn,” to your conscience. I hope you sleep well tonight and every night! But remember that the Law of Return is waiting to give you a really painful sunburn—shame on you!

Olá! Bem-vindos meus caros amigos e leitores! "Eu caminhei por uma terra vazia, eu conhecia o caminho como a palma da minha mão e senti a Terra sob os meus pés" e neste caminho resultaram estas fotos. Este é o post do meu aniversário! Foi no passado dia 5 de Janeiro quando estava de férias! Confesso que "estou a ficar velha", mas isso é pacífico para mim, é só um número! "Mas preciso de um ponto de partida" para este post especial. "não era este o lugar que costumávamos amar?". Tudo já foi inventado para celebrar aniversários! Mas como este é "o lugar que só nós conhecemos" na internet "e o lugar com que temos sonhado! Foi díficil, para mim, pensar numa maneira diferente para celebrar aqui no blog. O nosso dia de aniversário é um dia especial e, eu pretendo um post especial também!
Hello! Welcome, my dear friends and readers! ‘I walked through an empty land, I knew the path like the back of my hand and felt the Earth beneath my feet’ and these photos are the result of that journey. This is my birthday post! It was on 5 January when I was on holiday! I confess that ‘I'm getting old,’ but that's fine with me, it's just a number! ‘But I need somewhere to begin’ for this special post. ‘Wasn't this the place we used to love?’ Everything has already been invented to celebrate birthdays! But as this is ‘the place only we know’ on the internet "and the place we have been dreaming of! It was difficult for me to think of a different way to celebrate here on the blog. Our birthday is a special day, and I want a special post too!
Foi então que se fez luz na minha cabeça e pensei em escrever um Manifesto. Mas o que é um Manifesto? Trata-se de uma declaração pública que expõe os princípios de um grupo com o objectivo de sensibilizar o público para uma determinada causa, seja política, social ou artística. "E se vocês tiverem um minuto," porque não vamos conversar sobre isso "num lugar que só nós conhecemos? Porque não vamos?" Aqui no blog escrever o Manifesto do Aniversário.
That's when it dawned on me, and I thought about writing a Manifesto. But what is a Manifesto? It is a public statement that sets out the principles of a group with the aim of raising public awareness of a particular cause, whether political, social or artistic. "And if you have a minute" why don't we talk about it ‘in a place that only we know? Why don't we?’ Here on the blog, write the Birthday Manifesto.

Como banda sonora para este post especial de aniversário, escolhi a banda Keane com a canção "Somewhere Only we Know" (Um lugar que só nós conhecemos) - Este blogue, claro! Como irão perceber ao ver o video, no texto do post usei partes da letra da canção, afinal este é o lugar que muitos secretamente adoram! Grata pela a audiência!

Olá! Bem-vindos! Está a chover, a tempestade Ingrid está a instalar-se. Não dá para sair de casa. Sinto-me nostálgica e a vontade de fazer algo de produtivo anda próximo de zero! Para além de um chá quentinho, a minha vontade é de fazer uma viagem no tempo. Mas como? Já sei! Vou fazer várias viagens no tempo na minha caixa de fotos antigas, sabem aquelas fotos que ainda não conheciam a era digital? São essas mesmo! Mal eu sabia que a fotografia ía ser tão importante na minha vida!
Hello! Welcome! It's raining, storm Ingrid is setting in. It's impossible to leave the house. I'm feeling nostalgic and my desire to do something productive is close to zero! Apart from a hot cup of tea, I feel like taking a trip back in time. But how? I know! I'm going to take several trips back in time with my box of old photos, you know, those photos from before the digital age? That's right! I had no idea that photography would become so important in my life!
Quero apresentar-vos o meu pet mais fofinho que tive: o meu cão Bolinhas, que nesta altura estará no céu dos cães. Foi um cão muito mimado e onde vivo foi o 1º cão a viver dentro de casa e a ser tratado como um verdadeiro pet. À época fomos muito criticados por isso, pois até aí os cães viviam fora de casa e, a sua função consistia, apenas, fazer a guarda da casa.
I would like to introduce you to the cutest pet I ever had: my dog Bolinhas, who is now in dog heaven. He was a very spoilt dog and was the first dog to live indoors and be treated like a real pet where I live. At the time, we were heavily criticised for this, as until then dogs lived outside the house and their only job was to guard the house.
My young Bolinhas, in the first photo, and in the second, a few months before going to doggy heaven!
This is probably my favourite photo. I was about 35 years old and going through my most revolutionary period. I call this photo Marisa Lion and I have a large print of it on the wall of my living room. It's not just a photo, but everything I was at the time: a warrior!
The beginnings of my revolutionary period are evident in these photos. This is a student demonstration, around 1990/1, in front of the Assembly of the Republic. We were fighting against the increase in university tuition fees. These photos must have remained in my subconscious, because later I embroidered, in cross-stitch, a large demonstration in that same place, and I have already told the story here.
My dream was to be a platinum blonde, lol, and I went for it, but it went wrong, my hair couldn't take the damage, but it's still my dream! Lol!
I also really like this photo, it represents Marisa the professional. This photo was printed on all the letters I wrote, whether to apply for jobs, to make complaints, or even to report abuses of power!

And last but not least, this is perhaps the most mysterious photo I have ever taken of myself. I think I managed to capture my soul, perhaps what is called psychography in photography.
I hope you enjoyed this journey through time via my photographs. So much time has passed and so much to say and learn!
Story of my life!
A música que escolhi é talvez a psicografia da minha vida. De uma forma simples a psicografia é o fenómeno pelo qual uma inteligência superior, ou Deus, ou um computador, como na Teoria da Simulação, que "ditam" como se a pessoa que está a escrever estivesse a ler um teleponto, ou a escrever o que essas entidades lhes ditam. Eu acho que quando o David Fonseca escreveu esta canção: "Someone that cannot love" encontrava-se neste estado transcendental!
The song I chose is perhaps the psychography of my life. In simple terms, psychography is the phenomenon whereby a higher intelligence, or God, or a computer, as in Simulation Theory, “dictates” as if the person writing were reading from a teleprompter, or writing what these entities dictate to them. I think that when David Fonseca wrote this song, ‘Someone that cannot love,’ he was in this transcendental state!
