Christmas in Brussels: A Quiet Walk Through Old Memories

Português 🇧🇷 Bruxelas no Natal tem uma luz própria — suave, dourada e delicadamente nostálgica. Este vídeo reúne imagens antigas que gravei quando passei o Natal sozinha na cidade. Mesmo que não sejam perfeitas, elas carregam aquela sensação única de caminhar por ruas iluminadas, ouvir música ao longe, e sentir o coração ficar um pouco mais quente no inverno europeu. Se você ama Natal, viagens, ou simplesmente gosta de observar o mundo em silêncio, este vídeo é para você. Um pequeno retrato de luz, memória e calmaria. Alguns romances e poesias que escrevi: https://emlopes.blogspot.com/p/books-... Um Chá e Um Café (português) A Papisa (português) Antes dos 20 (Poesia em português) Bons Momentos (português) Eu até tenho redes sociais, mas sou péssima em manter a maioria delas atualizada. Ainda assim, deixo aqui algumas. Instagram:    / emanuellemlopes   TikTok:    / emalopes   Website: https://emlopes.blogspot.com/ ...

Para ver e relaxar! | A beleza dos dias iguais depois que voltei estudar.

Ufa! Foram meses de estudo de manhã, tarde e noite. Houve pouco tempo para descansar e ainda menos para relaxar, mas tirar duas refeições no dia para estar presente, andar por lugares bonitos e visitar pessoas queridas, uma vez no mês que fosse, ajudou. Os 'catiorros' também trazem um conforto quando a cabeça começa gritar de cansaço. Eu realmente não indico. kkk Na verdade, acho que pela primeira vez estudar me fez bem porque estou estudando o que sempre quiz. Amo abrir os livros, anotar, conectar informações, ver minha evolução, mas sei que essa disciplina e propósito veio porque realmente amo o que estou aprendendo e, isso sim, eu indico viver. "Privilégio?" Perguntei-me e ainda me pergunto. No geral da vida, sim, mas no momento, como consequência de tudo que eu vivi... Não. Não é. Mas, sem dúvida, um momento que não tomo como garantido, não o diminuo nem o retiro da gratidão. Bom! Ainda não acabou. É hora de continuar estudando, mas equilibrando outas coisas. ...
