"All the underdogs in the world
A day may come when we lose
But it is not today
Today we fight!"

- Not Today (BTS)

Who's me:

Ana Catarina, nicknamed pequenina (shorty - I'm 1,50 tall [4'11'']) or AC. I'm an INTP, a Sagittarius, and have an IQ of 134 (impressive or not, that's my IQ level). I was born December 9th of 1994, have a degree in Tourism. I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish, a itsy-bitsy of French and I know a few words/phrases in Korean. I have a big sister (15 years older... yup, I know, huge age gap), and I'm proud aunt of a cute, rambunctious boy who was born in 2005, and proud borrowed auntie of my friend's bouncing baby boy who was born in 2016. I love to write, listen to music (music is everything to me!), I play guitar and piano (I know a bit of bass too and do some basic stuff on the drums), I love watch TV series and movies, and I'm a Marvel geek. Occasionally I read (books, I mean, 'cause I read tons of fanfics...). I'm an avid learner (most of my time spent researching things for fanfics or school works has led me to know stuff that will probably have no use in my everyday life, but one gotta hope it's not just occupying space in my brain). Sometimes I get philosophical, sometimes I get over-analytical, and sometimes I'm just a plain idiot. I give 0 fucks in life, I lose my patience without losing my cool (seem like a paradox, I know, but I'm that one person who can threaten to slice your throat while laughing), I'm honest and hate liars, I'm good to people (sometimes far too good for my own sake) I'm really chill (unless you mess with my friends, then I go from 0 to 100 in a sec), I can live without my family but I can't live without my friends, I pretend that I don't care because I actually care but don't know how to voice my feelings (I try to let people know I care through my actions), yet I don't think I have feelings, and I think I was either born without a heart (not the real one, the emotionally speaking one), or that my heart is nothing but a giant iceberg.

Words to live by:

"We all have the galaxy in our hearts. But there are some people who never find that out until they die." - Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster), HYYH: On Stage

"I’m living for the sake to understand the world but why hasn’t this world tried to understand me?"- from the song Always by Rap Monster (Kim Namjoon)

"Tomorrow becomes today, today becomes yesterday / Tomorrow becomes yesterday and is behind me / Life isn’t about living along but living through" - from the song Tomorrow by BTS

"There are many people who haven’t figured out what they want to do yet, so don’t get discouraged when people say ‘you don’t have dreams!’. Believe in yourself! Work hard and be healthy, like me!” - Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster) on V App Live in Tokyo (2016)

"Something interesting I noticed is, the words for 'person' (saram) and 'to love' (sarang) have similar pronunciation. As people, there's bound to be love in our lives, whether it's romantic love, or love for our friends and family. Maybe the reason why these words were created is because we cannot live without love in our lives. Don't you think so? Isn't that interesting? Another word that is similar is 'to live' (sara). The similarity in these three words... Is it because they are inseparable?" - Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster) on V App Live (2016)

"Nothing lasts forever, / You only live once / So live your life, not any other’s lives / Take chances and never regret, never / Never be late to do what you wanna do right now / Because at one point of someday, everything you did / Would be exactly what you will be." - Kim Namjoon (Rap Monster) in the song Intro: O!RUL8,2? by BTS

"There's doors and... more doors. And behind all the doors, there's another inside, and another outside. And things happen, happen, happening. It never stops."- Jack, Room (2015)

"There's so much of "place" in the world. There's less time because the time has to be spread extra thin over all the places, like butter. So all the persons say "Hurry up! Let's get going! Pick up the pace! Finish up now!"." - Jack, Room (2015)

"Having a rough day? Place your hand over you heart… feel that? That’s called a purpose. You’re alive for a reason. NEVER GIVE UP!" - Niall Horan (One Direction)

"(Fury always said) A man can accomplish anything when he realizes he's a part of something bigger. A team of people who share that conviction can change the world. So what do you say? You ready to change the world?" - Phil Coulson, Agents of SHIELD, The Beginning of the End (1x22)

"Don't ever tell me there's no way!" - Phil Coulson, Agents of SHIELD, Pilot (1x01)

"Don't be a face, be a force." - Kensi Blye, NCIS: Los Angeles, Driving Miss Diaz (7x03)

"Any dream worth having is a dream worth fighting for!" - Charles Xavier (Professor X)

"Either way, it is an historical fact: sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute." - Charles Xavier (Professor X), X2 (2003)

"Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn't mean they're lost forever. Sometimes we all need a little help." - Charles Xavier (Professor X), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

"Don't ruin my story with your logic." - Richard Castle, Castle, Last Call (3x10)

"The past is the past. And the only direction in life that matters is forward. Never backwards." - Henry "Pop" Hunter, Luke Cage, Moment of Truth (1x01)

I'm no apologist of violence, but some issues solving just require high-fiving people. In the face. With a chair. Thrown by the Hulk. Twice. - Me

"I love writing my stories' summaries." - Says no writer ever.

"It begins with an idea, an idea that gnaws, that haunts, that spills into the quiet moments, and refuses to go away. With nurturing, the idea grows. It finds purchase in a fertile imagination and unfurls itself, opening into its own very world. Characters arrive. Sometimes the step out of the mist of the mind fully formed, other times they are lumps of clay that must be sculpted. You can't wait to give them voice. You can't wait to tell their tale. Then comes the terror of the blank page. If you're a beginning screenwriter you ask, "How do I fill 120 pages?" If you're a seasoned professional you ask, "How do I contain my story to 120 pages?" And no matter who you are, you ask, "How do I make it good?" It's enough to send you running to Starbucks for a non-fat latte and an afternoon of procrastination." - Andrew W. Marlowe

"My last thought in life will probably be I wonder what happens if I touch this..." - Internet quote

Even though I'd be extremely flattered if Morgan Freeman lent his voice to narrate my life, I'd prefer if Samuel L. Jackson could do it. My life needs multiple references to the word "fuck" and all its possible variables and combinations. - Me

More important than being smart is not being an idiot. - Me

"Music is the shorthand of emotion." - Leo Tolstoy

"I like to think about the first law of thermodynamics. That no energy in the universe is created. And that none is destroyed. Every bit of energy inside us, every particle, will go on to be part of something else. Maybe live as dragonfly, a microbe... And every part of us now, was once part of some other thing. A moon, a storm cloud, a mammoth, - a monkey - Thousands and thousands of other beautiful things that were just as terrified to die as we are. We gave them new life. A good one, I hope." - Fitzsimmons, Agents of SHIELD, The Beginning of the End (1x22)

"I know my value. Anyone else's opinion doesn't really matter." - Peggy Carter, Agent Carter, Valediction (1x08)

"Being different can mean making a difference." - Daisy "Skye" Johnson, Agents of SHIELD, Purpose in the Machine (3x02)

"(...) one person is not just one person. In each of us, there is a world webbing out, reaching others. Creating reactions. Sometimes equal sometimes opposite. We rush to say 'one life gone' but each of us is a world." - Father Lantom, Daredevil, Penny and Dime (2x04)

"Every person I know is pretty poorly constructed. Everyone has an excuse for not dealing. But eventually, that's all they are - excuses." - Boyd Langton, Dollhouse, Vows (2x01)

“You didn’t see that coming?” - Pietro Maximoff, Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

"In the world that we live in, I'd rather be out of the ordinary than ordinary because to be ordinary is to be part of the system and that's very corrupt." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"I like music because... it makes me feel the most free I've ever felt in my entire life and gives me the freedom to do anything without much consequence." - Dom Howard (Muse)

"I think maturity is when you are no longer embarrassed." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"There’s no such thing as an individual, we’re just all a collection of each other’s influence on each other, a collection of intermingling ideas as a collective." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"Don't think about things too much. There's luck out there in the world. And you cannot control it, you just have to go with it." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"Music is the only language I'm fluent in." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"The thing we need is never all that hard to find." - from the song Tell Me Baby by Red Hot Chili Peppers

"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. - Carl Sagan, in Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.” - Carl Sagan

“The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.” - Carl Sagan, in Contact

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.” - Carl Sagan

“We are star stuff harvesting sunlight.” - Carl Sagan

"시작이 반이다" (Starting is half the task) - Korean proverb

"You can not be too confident about the impact or anything like that… But I guess music, obviously, is bringing people together to experience something, which is - you know they’re physically in the same space together so they feel each other. That’s something a little different I guess, to help people live their lives, mainly. And also listening to music it’s a method of hearing and feeling somebody else’s feelings in a slightly deeper way maybe than it’s possible for some other ways. For me anyway, I like that. Music has always been a very powerful method to understand the feeling of somebody else’s, both the feelings of somebody from a different time as well. So I guess in that way music is slightly unique form of communication compared to modern technology methods of communicating." - Matt Bellamy (Muse)

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein
