I guess my emotion day is on Sunday... I woke up this morning, had a perfect running outside with the sun, crossing the bridge with the beautiful view of the Rhine River and people enjoying the sunshine... I got back and I was so pelased with that begging of the day so I felt like crying (??? yes I know!)... then I talked to one of my dearst friend by skype for like 2 hours and a lot of times during the conversation I also got my eyes wet... so now I've just finished another silly-romantic movie, one more inspired on Romeo and Juliet history and I cried crired cried...
No, I'm not sad... hard to explain though this emptiness that I fell recently.

So here is the movie of the week: Letters for Juliet. You know the end from the beggining, is placed mostly in Italy - owwww I cant wait to go to this country! Maybe I find my Romeo there! Dont really care if he'd be like Gael Garcia Bernal or Christopher Egan - both on this movie, but I guess more chances to find Christopher next month when I go to London, cause he's british hahahahahahah.

But what touch me on this movie was the letter:
"'What' and ‘if’ two words as nonthreatening as words come. But put
them together side-by-side and they
have the power to haunt you for the
rest of your life: ‘What if?'..."
"I don't know how your story ended.
But I know that if what you felt
then was love - true love - then
it's never too late. If it was true
then it why wouldn't it be true
now? You need only the courage to
follow your heart..."
"I don't know what a love like that
feels like... a love to leave loved
ones for, a love to cross oceans
for... but I'd like to believe if I
ever felt it. I'd have the courage
to seize it. I hope you had the
courage to seize it, Claire. And if
you didn't, I hope one day that you
will."
I'm also adding in portuguese cause might be easier for some people:
" "E" e "Se" são duas palavras tão inofensivas quanto qualquer palavra, mas coloque-as juntas lado a lado, e elas tem o poder de assombra-lá pelo resto da sua vida. "E se".. E se? E se?
Não sei como sua história acabou. Mas sei o que você sentia na época era amor verdadeiro então nunca é tarde demais. Se era verdadeiro então, porque não o seria agora? Voce só precisa ter coragem para seguir seu coração. Não sei como é sentir amor como o de Julieta, um amor pelo qual abandonar entes queridos, um amor pelo qual cruzar oceanos. Mas gosto de pensar que, se um dia sentisse, eu teria coragem de agarra-lo. E Claire se voce não o fez, espero que um dia faça.
Com todo meu amor.
Julieta"
BE THE CHANGE: I guess I have to say --> do not let the two words "what" and "if" haunt you... have the courage!
