“We always arrive at the place where we are expected.”(José Saramago)

“We always arrive at the place where we are expected.”(José Saramago) Almost always, others would always say, we write to try to find the words that can save our memory, some say we may forget the words, but we will never forget our existence. As Cora Coralina said: “What counts in life is not the starting point, but the journey. By walking and sowing, in the end, you will have something to reap.” “How old am I? – beautiful text by José Saramago How old am I? I'm at the age where things are seen more calmly, but with the interest of continuing to grow. I have the years when dreams begin to caress with my fingers and illusions become hope. I have the years when love is sometimes a wild flame, eager to consume itself in the fire of a desired passion. And in others, a current of peace, like a sunset on the beach. How old am I? I don't need numbers to mark, because my desires were achieved, the tears I shed along the way, when I saw my dreams destroyed... They are worth much more than that. It doesn't matter if I'm twenty, forty or sixty! (or even eighty) What matters is how old I feel. I have the years I need to live free and without fear. To follow the path without fear, because I take with me the experience acquired and the strength of my desires. How old am I? It doesn't matter to anyone! I have the years necessary to lose my fear and do what I want and feel.” Starting over is giving yourself a new chance. It’s about renewing your hopes for living life and most importantly: believing in yourself. "No matter how long the journey is, the most important thing is to take the first step." (Vinícius de Moraes)
