ESTAÇÕES DIFERENTES

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."

Stephen King - "Different Seasons"

We protect people because we have to.
But it's not that they are fragile or anything. In fact, we measure the intensity of how much they matter, by the hurt that their demise causes us. And the more hopeless it seems, the worst we feel about our incapability to save them, even if for a single minute of true presence and company.

Our incapacity to keep death off those we hold dear is unquestionable. But remember not to underestimate our ability to prevent sadness from poisoning them. Use your unvalueable power to spread smiles inside them.
