Peculiaridades de um overtraining

Parte 1: Bater no fundo 3 de fevereiro, 2020 Há uns meses comecei a ponderar e tomei uma decisão. É uma decisão que não foi tomada de leve. Precisei de algum tempo para realmente dar este passo e dizê-lo, em voz alta, escrevendo-o naquela língua que para mim tanto tem de impessoal como de pessoal…

5 de julho, 2021 Então, querem vulnerabilidade? Eu dou-vos vulnerabilidade. Não foi um mar de rosas. Deixar o desporto que fazia parte do vosso dia a dia: não foi mesmo um mar de rosas. Nove meses depois. Aconteceu. O medo, a ansiedade. As dúvidas. …

Peculiaridades de um pós-overtraining — Parte 2

10 de janeiro, 2021 Tenho evitado. Tenho resistido à tentação de sair da conversa de grupo da equipa, deixar de seguir amigos atletas das redes sociais, e até de dar uma olhadela no levantamento da malta do ginásio antes de ir para o meu canto. Sou uma mentirosa. …

Peculiarities of a post-overtraining phase — Part 3

So, you want vulnerability? I’ll give you vulnerability. It’s not a bed of roses. Letting go of the sport that made up a big part of your daily life — it’s really not a bed of roses. Eight months later. It happened. The fear, the anxiety. The sadness. The grief…

Carta aberta aos desamores

Ouvi dizer que o amor te tinha levado, e juro, não acreditei. Nem quis acreditar. Até parece que eras fácil de apaixonar. Talvez até sejas e eu é que fui ingénua. Ou cautelosa. Ou talvez demasiado medrosa. Sei lá. …

Dare Amore: A Letter of Grief and Lesson Learnt

People like me, we love in a voluntary confinement and avoidance to verbalize — so we don’t put our hearts on the line, so we minimize risk. But it is because I loved you so quietly that I often judge and hate myself. — October 9th, 2020 Dear grandma, I don’t know where you are, but I know I don’t have an address to send you this letter. I don’t know if you can feel anything, but I’ve got to pour my heart out somewhere in hopes that somehow, you can.

When I Heard About Domestic Violence

When I heard about domestic violence, I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be painful. I wasn’t told it could make you feel peace and ease. I wasn’t told you would feel like you can finally trust someone and not be misunderstood. I wasn’t told that it would make you feel like in a world of 7 billion people, you are seen. — When I heard about domestic violence, I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be painful.

In a world of 15-second stories and reels, sun-kissed skin filters, one-click-away follows, cryptic emoji combo communication — there is something that makes us human. — A few years ago I read an interview about Artificial Intelligence in which Australian anthropologist Genevieve Bell mentioned that “Humanity’s greatest fear is about being irrelevant”. At that moment of my life, I was going through what is popularly known as an existential crisis, so I was highly hypervigilant on…
