Whenever I think of you and me, of us, I can't stop thinking of all the opportunities we have missed. Whenever I sit at my table thinking about our Love, I can't hold my Pen back from writing. It's almost like it's writing our story because we couldn't live it ourselves.

dear my loneliness, maybe i should call u by a name. what name would suit u? i think Violet is nice. maybe because violet is a cold color and u are cold too. i really wanted to say that i hate u Violet. i hate no one more than u. u are the worst thing that ever happened to me. i hate how u make me cry a few tears but never enough to burst. but still i am too familiar with u to just let u go. i hate how cold u feel but when i look deeper, there is something comforting about u. because when i have no one, i still have you. this book is for everyone who truly feels. love, hate, sadness, loneliness and confusion and in between the lines there is some hope for a better tomorrow.

"Uirapuru" tece um conto poético, inspirado nas lendas amazônicas do Uirapuru e do Muiraquitã, onde o amor transcende as fronteiras do possível. Na imensidão da floresta, duas almas predestinadas se encontram: Anahí, a filha da lua, e Quaraçá, a filha do sol, cujos destinos são unidos por uma conexão profunda e inquebráves. Entre melodias que ecoam sob a copa das árvores e amuletos que guardam segredos ancestrais, elas percorrem caminhos de reencontros e transformação sob o brilho da lua cheia.

My dearest Mr. Darcy, allow me to make a sassy prediction: one day, you will read my name on this book cover, and by the time you realize it, you will be reading this letter. Awareness will strike you like lightning; you will drop your act and feel in your bones that you are the one I wrote it to. Pride, then, will take your ego to the highest heights as you remember our time together, but the prejudice resulting from the same period will be the one causing your fingers to tremble and your breath to falter; you will be taking the book home. What's more, I venture to say that, somehow, no matter where I might be, I will know it too. It's an inexplicable feeling, weird but wagerable. In the meantime, I leave you with a more daring question than the single "why?" messing with your head as soon as you started reading me: love rules the world, but as innocent and ardently as it may be, can it conquer it all? Yours truly, the author

Auf Achillesversen durch Verwirrklichkeiten reist Laura Sophie Oberländer mit ihren Texten und versucht dabei, das multidimensionale Labyrinth des Lebens sowie die Höhen und Tiefen zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen zu ergründen und eine Bandbreite an Empfindungen in ihrer facettenreichen, mal leichten und unbeschwerten, mal düsteren und rätselhaften Sprache nachzuzeichnen. Dieses Buch freut sich darauf, das zu sein, was auch immer der oder die Lesende aus ihm macht. Für die Autorin selbst ist es eine Liebeserklärung an das Schreiben und die Wirklichkeiten, in denen sie sich in ganz alltäglich, aber auch in existenziell empfundenen Situationen bewegt, an die mystische Verworrenheit der Wege von Existenz und an die Verletzlich- und Vergänglichkeit eben jener.

Reisende leben mit einem tiefen Bewusstsein von Saudade. Ein brasilianisches Wort, welches ein Gefühl beschreibt, ein Gefühl des Vermissens, einer Sehnsucht. Ich weiß was dort draußen ist, ich habe viele Menschen in etlichen Ecken der Welt kennengelernt, doch wo auch immer ich bin, ich vermisse etwas, in mir ist die Sehnsucht nach etwas anderem. Aber ich bin dankbar für die Momente in denen ich mit diesen Menschen zusammen bin und die Orte an die ich zurückkehre. Ich weiß dass alles endet und schätze es solange ich es habe. Ich nehm dich mit auf meine Reise und teile meine Gefühle mit dir. Angst, Aufregung, Begeisterung aber vor allem das Gefühl von Freiheit, welches mich auf egal welchem Board begleitet.
