Querida Sofia,
Alguém disse-me ontem que eu tenho uma valente gargalhada. Senti-me um pouco constrangida, mas ele reiterou que era muito agradável ouvir-me rir. E no fundo, acho que não ria como ando a rir aqui há anos, a minha gargalhada é mais profunda, mais desinibida e sinto menos dores profundas no coração. Tenho de novo aquele riso de cair ao chão, por nos contarem histórias incríveis ou por estarmos a viver uma situação caricata. Tinha esquecido algures em mim o que era ser feliz, sinceramente. E ontem lembrei-me. E afinal, a minha felicidade, está(va) aqui. Quem diria?
Someone told me yesterday that I have a very strong laughter. I felt a bit ill-at-ease with that comment, but then he said it was really nice to hear me laugh. Deep inside of me, I think I hadn't laughed as I have been laughing here in years. My laughter is deeper, less self-conscious and with less inner pains in the bottom of my heart. I have gained again that laughter that makes you fall on the floor, because the stories that are told or the situations we get ourselves into are just out of this world. I had forgotten what it was to be and feel REALLY happy. And I remembered it yesterday. Who would have known that my happiness was (is) here?
