Dedicated to all of you.

B.




Butterflies


by Mário Quintana, the Poet of "simple things"... .



"Over time, you will realize that to be happy with someone else you need in the first place, may not need that person.

You will notice too that the person that you think that loves (or loved) you and don't want anything with you, definitely its not the man or woman in your life.

You learn to like you, take care of you, especially to like who likes you.

The secret is not to run behind butterflies, is taking care of the garden so that they come to you.

In the end, you will find, not who you were looking for, but who was looking for you. ”

Mario Quintana

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1rio_Quintana


From the Brazilian Portuguese:


Borboletas


Por Mário Quintana, o Poeta das "coisas simples"... .


“Com o tempo, você vai percebendo que para ser feliz com outra pessoa você precisa em primeiro lugar, não precisar dela.

Percebe também que aquela pessoa que você ama (ou acha que ama) e que não quer nada com você, definitivamente, não é o homem ou a mulher da sua vida.

Você aprende a gostar de você, a cuidar de você, principalmente a gostar de quem gosta de você.

O segredo é não correr atrás das borboletas, é cuidar do jardim para que elas venham até você.

No final das contas, você vai achar, não quem você estava procurando, mas quem estava procurando por você.”
