Alô Brasil!!! Speak Portuguese? This post is for you!

I realized I've been excluding my own sexy Brazilian peeps from the posts so I decided I will from today on add some posts in Portuguese as well. So don't you feel all sad because some of my future posts may be a little bit out of your linguistic reach. I will however try to translate as much as I can. Deal? Cool, so with that being said, let me introduce this blog in Portuguese so I don't get deserted by my mother (I am not even joking GUYS, she called me all the way from Brazil and pretty much said - "WTF Sabrina, you start a blog and write everything in English? How am I suppose to tell people what is about?"),(I can take a dump in a pot and my mom will be proudly telling everyone she knows about how beautiful was the shit I've taken, you know how mom's are). So here it is to mom and my dear friends in Brazil. 

PS: Amigos & amigas do meu coração primeiramente eu peço desculpas pelos meus futuros erros de português, porque eles iram acontecer eventualmente, eu sei, vocês sabem, eles sabem, todos sabemos hahaha I still got the verbs right haha. 

Se concentra Sabrina! 

Ok ok parei com a bobeira, como muitos de vocês sabem eu moro no Canada, inclusive agora eu outubro eu completo os meus primeiros 10 anos de gringa.  Resumindo bem resumidinho, a minha vida aqui ocorre em inglês 24 hrs por dia, 7 dias na semana. Entre faculdade, trabalho e hubby, o inglês predomina, o que resulta pelo menos para mim já que eu não posso generalizar, pq conheço muita gente aqui que consegue manter o português intacto, mas depois de 10 anos, falando, escrevendo, lendo e ouvindo, o inglês realmente deu uma predominada legal aqui nesta cabecinha. Então me desculpem pelos possíveis futuros errinhos de gramática tá bom gateeeenhos e gateenhas?

Vamos lá, blog da Cheese Gal? Você deve estar se perguntando... 

 "Porque Sabrina?" 
"Tanto nome bonitinho, você vai e me coloca nome de queijo no blog?"

 Queijo sim,  gosto de queijo e porque o blog é meu e eu ponho o nome que eu quiser. Pronto.   

Próxima pergunta...

"Esse seu blog de queijo vai falar de que exatamente?"

Bom, esse blog vai falar de muitas coisas, mas principalmente a respeito de como é estar nos seus vinte e poucos anos; das dúvidas, das confusões, dos perrengues, dos prazeres e por aí vai.  Aqui no Canada se fala muito da crise dos 20 ou "The quarter life crisis", e basicamente se resume em um período em que a galerinha que nasceu entre anos 80 e 90 estão enfrentando. Jovens que cresceram ouvindo dos pais e professores que poderiam ser qualquer coisa que quisessem, esses jovens cresceram e se depararam com milhares de escolhas, era de internet, problemas politicos, econômicos e blá blá blá. O bicho pegou e a galera ficou assim ó perdidinha. Jovens cheios de ideias, auto-estimas infladas em um mundo nada amigável, não deu outra, CRISE EXISTENCIAL. 

A nossa geração está casando mais tarde, saindo de casa mais cedo e valorizando coisas como saúde mental e qualidade de vida muito mais do que dinheiro e um emprego seguro se comparado com a geração dos nossos pais. Por exemplo, a minha mãe na minha idade já estava no segundo casamento e com dois filhos, era dona de casa e empresária; eu janto cereal colorido de bichinho e não consigo manter nem uma planta viva.

E não sou só eu não gente, existe um feeling de descontentamento  com uma boa parte dos milennials, uma vontade generalizada de largar tudo e sair viajando pelo mundo, de largar carreiras que acabaram de começar para realizar o sonho de simplesmente "Ser feliz". E que mal há nisso não é mesmo? Deixa o jovem ser feliz! 

E  enquanto isso você aí que como eu não está 100% pronto pra virar "adulto" e também anda meio cheio de ideas mas meio perdido. Não se desespere, como você existem milhares de pessoas na mesma situação, e eu sou uma delas. Entendeu agora o porque desse blog? 

Aqui vamos desabafar, reclamar, dar risada, e bater aquele papo sincero de mesa de bar. 

Sejam bem vindos à essa bagunça toda! 

Beijinhos da Sabbi ;)

Are you having a quarter life crisis?

Any of these sound familiar?

·      You feel disconnected from your life and confused about your next steps

·      Your friendships are changing. You are not really sure if you like some of your friends anymore

·      You’re disappointed in your day-to-day, but overwhelmed by all the possibilities out there

·      Social media is taking a serious toll on your self-esteem

·      You’ve realized being an adult ain’t all fun as you anticipated

·      The bills. Oh the damn bills.

·      You panic when you think about everything you were supposed to do by age 30 & digestion and hangovers have become a serious part of your life

Sorry Pal, It sounds you got yourself into A QUARTER lIFE CRISIS.

WELCOME to "The Cheese Gal" - Your Quarter Life Crisis Bestie

Good Luck My Beautiful Fox!

    I have never put too much thought on the act of writing. I never thought of myself as a "good writer" either, I did however, write my feelings down every time I felt overwhelmed. Those days when no one seems to understand, and quite frankly you feel like explaining your feelings or why despite nothing being wrong with your life, every little thing feels so damn shitty.  

    I realized a while ago that writing was a form of therapy for me. Not exact material for external viewers or instruments of social acceptance. I never thought I was clever enough to put relevant information on a piece of paper. Information that somehow could make peoples lives a bit better. I just used writing for my own sake, for my own selfish reasons, to escape reality or to expel those unwelcome emotions from within. 

     As I mentioned in my first post, I feel a lot of feelings (WTF does that mean girl?) It kinda means I have my own universe inside my head and that I am highly sensitive, and also means I deal with a lot of emotions all the time, it's exhausting really. With that being said, writing offered me a voice, a channel to let my ideas fly without consent or judgement. A space for self exposure and venting. Most of the time what I write makes no sense, but once I am done it feels damn good. 

     The idea of writing this blog has been in my head for a very long time, but because I was always so self conscious about being judged and about people's opinions, I could never really bring myself to do it, until today.

 I said fuck it. Let's do this, nothing romantic really, just one of those moments you gather enough courage to do something new.

  People may judge me, but so what? People may not even read this blog like EVER. So really I am just let the dogs out hahaha. Ok bad joke, sorry. 

I guess what I am trying to say is, I am taking a huge step by putting a little bit of myself out here and so should you. I don't mean to 'should' on people but if there is something that you've been meaning to do for a while but don't because you fear you might be horrible at it or even worse, be judged by some fuckhead, just do it.

 Honestly my friend, what's the worse it can happen? 
Right, absolutely nothing. Your loved ones will still live, you will still have a house at the day, hopefully. Try, just try it. People judge that's what they do, and I bet you you might be getting judged anyways. The most it can happen is that you may find other parts of yourself that have been hiding in order for you to "fit in".
Be your awesome self and fuck everything else.
There there, I feel much better now.
Surprise me my awesome virtual friend. Put yourself out there and try that thing that scares the shit out of you but you secretly can't wait to try.

Good luck my beautiful fox!
