Teenagers

Posted on 17:57:00 by Livi Gerbase | 4 scraps

Not in the mood for English, sorry.
Aaaaa! Aaaaaa! Aaaaaa! Entenderam?
Eu finalmente to conseguindo entender muito mais o que é ser uma adolescente, pois fui sempre mais decidida do que confusa, e sempre achava as respostas pros meus problemas. Eu sempre via em filmes aquelas jovens completamente confusas, seja quando o assunto é personalidade ou amor. Se achar nesse mundo tão caótico é muito difícil. Como uma pergunta tão fácil de fazer, como “WHAT THE F. DO I WANT?” é tão difícil de responder? Culpo a adolescência.
Uma criança: eu quero o que me der vontade. (puro sentimento)
Um adulto: eu quero o que for melhor pra mim. (pura razão)
Um adolescente: não sei. Eu quero o que eu quiser. E o que não machucar ninguém. E o que eu sentir. E o que me faça uma pessoa mais feliz. AAAA!
Agora acha uma solução que preencha todas as colunas. Impossível.
Os adolescentes estão constantemente numa bola de emoções, de diferentes curiosidades e desejos, e escolher entre eles é, no mínimo, difícil.
Resumindo: se alguém quiser me dar o sentido da vida, ou o que é realmente importante, ou o que eu devo fazer, ou qual dos dois planetas, opostos agora pra mim, devo seguir (razão e emoção), be my guest. Enquanto isso, a depressão e a plena alegria estão a um passo de distancia. Instabilidade infernal.

Some things we really can't control

Posted on 22:41:00 by Livi Gerbase | 3 scraps

Hi :)
Just a little question:
You are a kid, 3/4 years, and you have to point at the color you like the most, pink or blue
But you have no influence of society whatsoever to choose one of the colors
What would you point at?
It’s kind of impossible to know, isn’t it? (I think I would have chosen blue... 'oh god, i'm a boy'!)
Your room is pink, your dolls are pink and YOU ARE PINK (boys, blue), why would you choose blue (boys, pink)?
Yes, we have been manipulated by stereotypes since a doctor took us out of our mommies and slap in our tushies .

Judgment

Posted on 21:10:00 by Livi Gerbase | 1 scraps

Today, I wanna talk about flaw I have and that I’m ashamed of: I, sometimes, judge by appearance, and that first impression stays for a long time, even if I talk with that person after. However, I want to defend myself. I think that the look of a person, the way he/she dresses like may tell a lot about a personality (or a lack of it). Of course it doesn’t say everything, and it’s not right to make false conclusions by only the way a person is dressed, but some first impressions of mine were right, and that’s what I’m going to talk about.
Nobody can deny that judgment, sometimes, is necessary. For an example, it can protect you from getting robbed or stolen.But how far can we go judging people by their first looks? I think everybody has already made mistakes because they were too worried about security. How can we tell who are the good and who are the bad guys by looking at them?
Unfortunately, nowadays, with globalization and lack of personality, everybody dresses the same. Then, how can we judge by appearance people who dress the same as everybody else? Or even people who dresses different? If that ‘different look’ was in, everybody would use it! Maybe, in the new future, people will use that awkward outfit, nobody can tell.
To sum up, we can’t judge, but, sometimes, we must. (?) You were right, Einstein, everything’s relative, even good judgment. It’s up to us to realize which is necessary and which can block us from knowing the reality.

The blog is giving me problems. I can change neither the place of the text nor the spaces between paragraphs. :) Bye!

Religion

Posted on 23:48:00 by Livi Gerbase | 0 scraps

That’s me, touching in one of the most controversial topics ever. Religion is so polemic that people are dying everyday because they have a different idea about who God is. Even though we are in a materialistic society, everyone has already stopped once to think who God is, or even if they believe in him after all. Sometimes, God just shows up when the person really needs him, like a lost or an illness. For me, it’s not important how they enter; the important is for him to never leave.
Does He care if you go to a church every Sunday or if you sing a little song for him everyday? We can’t forget that we, humans, are the ones who invented that, with God’s intervention on not. Will He really be mad at you if you don’t wear a turban or a veil? Does all this matter? Isn’t the important your soul? Or the good deeds that you realize during your life? Is your place guaranteed in heaven or in god knows where because you act like a religious guy, even though you don’t have any respect with the world around you? (Oh gosh, so many questions, so little answers).
Why religions have to be so separated from each other? Or you are A or you are B, you CAN’T believe in both, or in neither. One religion could compliment other or explain things that the first one can’t explain. The problem also is when the religion is already chosen for you by your country or your family. Everyone should study about all religions and acquire knowledge about them before decide what they’ll believe. The important, when the subject is religion, is to BELIEVE, having faith and hope, and, because of that, have a more pleasant life. For Bob, even love can be a religion.
Some religions were invented by men with some controversial interests, like fortune or society’s alienation. They were created and recreated as the period of history requires. That, for me, is just very, very wrong. But some others have an old and good tradition, and these ones have some truth inside them.
I’ll have doubts if I had to answer which religion is mine. And all this is my opinion, feel free to disagree, and let’s make that an exchange of points of view. Ok, I think that’s it for today.
Namaste

ps: horrible English; it’s midnight, and I’m sleepy and with too many ideas in my head.

Who are you?

Posted on 00:55:00 by Livi Gerbase | 0 scraps

Are you your first name, or the last one? Are you what is written is your profile or you fast description on your diary? Are you the way you act when you are with your friends, or with your family? With your coworkers? Or even with yourself, reading some comic books? Are you the things you wish for, the ones you hope? The ones that you love or that you hate? Are you your likes and dislikes? The description you make of yourself to your friends? Are you the things you say?
Who you are is what you want to be when you grow up? Or when you grow old? Or when you just grow? Are you your ideals, your aims in life? Are you the money you make? The latest wardrobe you have? Are you your family? Are you your personality? Are you your point of view?
No. Those things are not you. Maybe a mix of all those thigs, but it's hard to say. If you think about it, they are just your first name, and last one, your characteristics, your job, your fortune, your preferences, and then it goes. They are not you.
The scientists could say you are Homo sapiens. Besides, for the rest of the world, we are all just stereotypes. But inside you, your soul and your prejudice, do you know who you really are? Cause I don’t.

Old fashioned way? Maybe!

Hello boys and girls, long time no see! In my English course, I always need to write texts about some polemic thing. I love to write them, so I will “glue” (Ctrl+V) here to everyone looks and makes some comments.
The question was: About men’s and women’s rights, what is better: 1) The roles must stay the way they are, men working and women being protected. The roles were defined a long time ago and there is no reason why they should be changes now. 2) Women power, the roles must change!

My answer:

Like I always say, the answer to this situation is finding the equilibrium. If you just stay in one point of view, you will not see the advantages of staying in the other side.
In this modern society that we live in, things have to be change in a lot of situations. The male race cannot think that they are more intelligent or more SUPERIOR than women. The roles for men and women are changing, and will be difficult to stop the girls. But I think that men, knowing or not, like, or will like, this changes. Wouldn’t it be nice, for an example, to not have all the responsibilities about bringing money and be the protector of his family? Sometimes, women like to have this kind of responsibilities and will do those tasks without complaining.
A total revolution, on the other hand, isn’t necessary. To stay unfashionable, sometimes, is the right way, because men and women are different, and act in very different ways. Would be very strange especially to the person who is writing this text, if some things about gentleman stuff suffer a big change. To list some examples, will always be strange if a girl asks a boy out, to make out (hehehe), while is normal to a boy do this invitation. And a man opening the door of the car and paying the bill (in a restaurant situation) on a date will always show respect in relation to the woman.
To finish, I will just remember again: roles are changing and will change more in the near future in the entire world, but will not be a disadvantage to the men race. But another formal roles, totally different from the principal ones, must stay. Because there will always be a men X women fight, but, at the end, they were made to love and respect each other.

I think you notice that it has been a long time since I have put some thoughts here. The reason is that I was trying to stay a week without candies and internet, some of my passions, and you can notice I haven’t concluded. About candies I don’t have an alibi, today my friend Mari brought an orange cake to school, and I ate five slices… :P. However, the Internet has a good reason! I had to choice: I had to reed some e-mails about my birthday party. My conclusion: nowadays, it’s impossible to stay without internet! Not only for fun, but all the negotiations and the paper works needs to be made here! Brilliant, hã?

Young Addiction

Posted on 20:04:00 by Livi Gerbase | 4 scraps

Everyday, I surprise myself a little more about my generation. The ones that really need to change the world are proving that will pass without anyone notice again. There are lots off problems, like alienation, which I had already said. But here I will talk about one that makes me angry everyday. Drugs, more especially alcohol. Sorry for my friends who drink, but here is my blog, don’t get mad at me! I will always respect your point of view, like I will respect any point that anyone make here. And I never talk about a specific person in this blog.
You are ready for a party. For a normal person, who is called crazy now, gets excited is enough to go there. Is so good to have a party to go, with food and dance. Why you need desperately a drink to fell better, to get excited to go? Is cause, you knowing or not, you are an addicted with 15 years old. If the term addicted is too much, you, deep inside your heard (livi’s statement :D) know that you need a drink to enjoy the party.
Do not think that is normal drink with 15, 14 and even 13 years. And just cause everyone drinks, you don’t have to drink too. Enjoy the moment, and your body will make you like it.
By the end of our generation, we will probably have already told our children that they are the ones whose parents didn’t have the power to change the situation and that is time to they change the world.

Love, Livi

Saving and destroying the world with the same gun.

Friday, I saw a movie with some friends, Narnia II. It's another normal movie, a typical adventure, with war, blood and fights. But it made me think about a subject: What’s the difference between kill the king of a nation or kill a normal person? NONE! And no one notice that.
A president’s murdered is a very horrible person. He, at least, is going to jail, for good. One person that he kills and that’s it for his life.
But what about a soldier? He usually kills a thousand and he is the best is his business! Kill one person is absolutely normal, if he doesn’t he will get in a lot of trouble.
The problem, as I already said, is there’s no difference! Why the soldier didn’t go to jail, like the murdered? Because of a stupid name,and because the soldier’s carrier is kill to save his country.
The murdered maybe will regret of killing this person, who has already been an ordinary person that nobody recognized. And the other one will sleep thinking how good he is, being very proud.
The causes? The society. The consequences? Nothing and also everything. The difference? The name. The similarity? The gun.

Alienation

Posted on 20:10:00 by Livi Gerbase | 2 scraps

Brazil’s population, mostly teenagers, is in “Stand By”, in another planet. People see the hungry, the oddness and the corruption, just to start the gigantic list off world’s problems, as an image, a sound. When everyone will notice that we are in a boring and stupid society, that will die of hungry and desperation sooner that you think? Unfortunately, is going to be when the difficulty knocks in our door and force itself to enter. Feel the pain of who is close to you, using the sensibility to resolve the problems off the world will make a difference. However, almost every human being didn’t feel yet love and compaction for strangers.
Today, it was ordered to us do a little paragraph about some big problem that happens in Brazil. After I wrote, my first thinking was to write it here, because I really liked. :D
