A poesia me liberta,
salva o meus dias,
quando tudo dentro
de mim é confusão.

Today, I watched a Freud documentary. It is really short and it talks about his biography and some of his theories. Between all the events they covered, they told how Freud used to look at some of his patients who were falling in love for him. He didn’t think about it in a common way, he thought that they were transferring to him some hidden feeling they had for their parents and how they want them in a sexual way (usually, they were girls, so it was the feeling about their fathers). Taking that into account, I started to realize that some of the girls that I had relationships with became really passionate about me because I had their trust. Even though, I don’t think it had the same reasons Freud thought. I think it happened because of our current situation. Most of the people are too afraid to trust others; so, when someone shows confidence and just a little bit of respect for them, they fell for it. I don’t know if it is in a loving way or a parent way, I just know that this is how I see this situation.
Besides that, the documentary covers that Freud was one of the first psychiatrists to analyze himself and he did it TRULY. He had no judgements about his feeling, even if they were really bad. In this point of my life, I do that and I plan to keep doing it because it is essential for you to truly know yourself and to know how you should deal with your issues in the daily life. But, nowadays, it is strong in our (occidental) culture not to analyze and be honest with ourselves. If you truly do this, if you take on your “dark side” and show that to people they will judge you SO MUCH, it is awful.
We live in a fake society who ignores parts of themselves.
The bad news is: they are not able to; their selves will come out one way or another.
