Juventude

Hoje decidi escrever sobre a juventude. Acho essa uma fase boa, porém eu não posso dizer que vivi a minha adolescência tão forte como eu queria ter vivido. Sempre fui muito correto, dedicado e certinho. Talvez por isso hoje eu seja menos correto, dedicado e certinho. Lógico, do meu jeito, que nunca é tão pouco de cada uma das características citadas.
Porém, acho que isso tudo me deu uma base para eu ser a pessoa que sou hoje. E me sinto bem podendo viajar, fazer minhas coisas, comprar o que desejo (dentro do limite do cartão de crédito, lógico).
Apesar de adorar a idade que tenho hoje, essa minha fase, sempre me vem a cabeça a juventude. E sempre que lembro essa fase, talvez a permissividade que se podia ter aos 20 anos, me lembro de uma música magnífica do Pet Shop Boys. Acho que ela reflete bem a juventude. Aos 30, eu me sinto bem parecido com o que diz a música. Pode ser um pouco atrasado, mas é com mais responsabilidade, o que é meu modo de ser "rebelde", mesmo sendo tão correto, dedicado e certinho.

Being Boring
Pet Shop Boys

I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: "We were never feeling bored'
Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said: "If you're not careful
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
