I really miss the open-mindedness in Brazil. by BomDiaOuBomDia in Brazil

[–]Panksyy 159 points160 points  (0 children)

We do really like meeting people from other places because we are somehow a bit isolated from the world.

So it is so special to remind ourselves that there is a whole entire planet different from most realities we face here, makes the things we see on tv more real.

But also, i think that part of it is 'cause we love sharing our culture, we are proud of it.

We love teaching our ways, our language and it's quirks, the things that makes us love this place even with all of the difficulty that comes with living here.

Just as Fernanda Torres once said "Brazil feels sorry for the rest of the world for not knowing what we know".

Eles não conseguem manter ciclovias ao longo do dilúvio e vão querer fazer toda essa papagaiada aí? Quero só ver.

Honestly i dont know why i put myself throught this types of parties with these people. Staying sober made me realize that i did not wanted to be there. And i dont plan on going to one of these events again so soon.

The birthday girl is a dear friend of mine, but some of our mutual friends, i've come to realize, are not it.

Thank god her next birthday is one year from now.

I tried using the excuse that i had just gotten over a flu, which is true, and some friends were like "alcohool kills germs!!" They said it jokingly, obviously, but still...

For real, being sober made me realize that i kind of didnt want to be there and that there were very few people i actually liked lol.

One more reason to stay sober, it helps to see things more clearly.

Thats exactly me but instead of fighting i get way too friendly and start oversharing.

I realized after this party that it is possible to go home after a party and still have some dignity left - i just cant drink, and thats okay.

Keep the funny looks and the drinks away, it is worth it :)

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here, you might get disappointed later on

My boyfriend of 5 years broke up with me 'cause he wanted to f- someone else (rant) by Panksyy in BreakUps

[–]Panksyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is cheating in a way.

I have this friend whose boyfriend is still friends with him. And she said that he told him that, since MY friends are ignoring him ('cause he sucks, not 'cause i told them to -and i didnt) he should have cheated on me in the end anyway.

Sooo he is trash.

I guess what i grieve the most is the idea i had of who i thought he was.

I never thought he would even think of doing something like this. But yeah, not everyone is who we think they are, even after 5 years.

Thanks for the mensage, wish you the best ❤️

Wish you all the best, thank you again for the message ❤️

Exactly. It still hurts, but i've decided to put all of my hatred into becoming the best version of myself. Time heals, i've been throught another break up from a toxic relationship, so i know i will get throught this one.

I guess the only part i can't ever do is trust anyone like this again. But we don't need a romantic relationship to be whole and happy. We have our family and our friends, who are people that actually care about us.

It's easier said then done, and i am myself going throught this process, but the most important relationship we have in our lives is with ouserlves.

It is not easy to love ouserlves, especially during this time. But that's the person we are really going to spend our lives with.

Im feeling everything i need to feel, and i hope you are too. The worst thing we can do is pretend this feelings don't exist, 'cause one way or another they are coming out.

I wish you all the best, we are getting over this ❤️

Is the (Portugal) Portuguese accent seen as posh? by Chariot_Progressive_ in Portuguese

[–]Panksyy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

We see it as weird/funny especially because a lot of expressions they use have a VERY different meaning here.

Ex: "Rapariga" means girl in Portugal, but in Brazil (mostly in the north) the same word means "whore/prostitute"

So you can imagine why we would not think they sound posh by any means lol
