Seguro nas mãos uma mensagem não escrita, presa entre o desejo de te mostrar o meu coração e o pavor de descobrir que o teu nunca bateu por mim. E no entanto, se soubesse ao certo, se a tua recusa fosse clara, não haveria esta ânsia, não haveria este fogo que arde só na incerteza. O teu silêncio não é vazio, é um peso que me esmaga o peito, um eco surdo que grita dentro de mim.
Nas estrelas procuro o conforto, o mesmo conforto que antes tinha, ao perder-me no brilho do teu olhar. Hoje, de dia, apenas sofro, e no anoitecer resisto, até que a noite me traga salvação, a salvação suave do luar. Agora, dois estrangeiros, separados por distâncias inconcebíveis, e, ainda assim, unidos pelo mesmo mar estrelado. Às vezes pergunto-me se te recordas de mim, se soltas um sorriso ao…
From seed to sapling, to tree, to bloom, to fruit. From plateau to grand canyon. From one unbroken landmass to scattered, glittering shards. Time keeps its cadence, yet we cradle yesterday as though tomorrow were a myth and, in a way it is, for by the time you truly see it, it has already slipped into memory’s wake. From apex to idle heir, we crown ourselves with dust the food-chain’s lonely…

Where Am I ? Still in Porto, Portugal. What Am I Currently Doing Trying to be more mindful of how I spend my time, and how much of it I spend paralysed by the amount of choices of I have of what to do. Experimenting with photography. (Maybe I’ll add a gallery to this website at some point.) Learning Japanese for the plot. Playing through The World Ends With You in the Nintendo DS.
If I had to describe 2023 with one word, it would be stabilization. It had a bit of everything for me, ranging from life-threatening encounters to falling in love (and consequently falling out of love). Extreme highs but also extreme lows, which managed to balance each other out near the end of the year and reached an equilibrium. I’m grateful for everything that happened, bad and good…
Visiting all those places where we dreamed you’d be, Not feeling alone, but there’s an absence in me. I’ve made strides since then, and I hope you have too, Life’s path now clearer, confidence anew. Should fate once again intertwine our two lives, Let’s seize the chance, like old friends who survive. A toast to the memories, the laughter and tears, In each story,…
This blog post is a follow-up to What Do I Like, in which I talked about how most of the things I do are short-lived, and that I go through phases of intense focus on one activity followed by dropping it for an indeterminate amount of time. The reason for that? Three words: fear of failure. I’m afraid of failing, afraid of taking risks, afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone, afraid of…
Under the cherry blossoms my heart rests longing for someone it has never met. Waiting for the winds to sweep it away, Hoping one day it can finally stay. Wilting as each day slowly passes, thoughts of a better life close to none. Constantly comparing itself to the masses, just to find a disappointment to everyone. Full of ambitions and aspirations, aiming for words of validation, but never able…
Today, May 2nd, 2021, here in Portugal we celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s a time of joy and happiness where you’re supposed to show appreciation for your mother and everything she has done for you, or is it? I’ll preface the rest of this blog post by saying that I love my mother dearly, even if sometimes I seclude myself in my room for days on end, talk back to her or if…
Welcome to the first installment of Stuff I Enjoy! I was going to postpone this to next week but decided against it. This installment is dedicated to Minecraft, a game that shaped my entire youth. I started playing Minecraft in 2011, around the time that Beta 1.7.3 dropped. It wasn’t until Beta 1.8 that I actually started getting more into it. Why? When I first booted it up, I created a…
Lately, I’ve been trying to get into writing more. My friends Adrian, Alwinfy, and Willie encouraged me to start writing blog posts as it would be a decent way to get started. I thought about it for a while and concluded that they were right. Taking up blogging would be nice. But then, I ran into my first blocker. What would I write? My first instinct was to do some online searching about…

Who am I? Greetings! My name is Emanuel Ferraz, better known on the internet as Kamefrede. What do you do? I’m a Backend Engineer at Uphold. Where are you based? In the lovely city of Porto in Portugal. When did you start this blog? 2021, in the middle of the Global Event. Why did you create this blog? Honestly? I saw that my friend williewillus had one, and I thought it’d be cool to…
After much delaying, I finally caved in and set up a website for real. This is my 3rd attempt at a website, I think. The first attempt went badly since I was trying to minimize the use of Javascript but I still wanted to have fancy animations and navbars and whatnot. For my second attempt I realized that I didn’t need any of that fanciness and was recommended by my friend Williewillus to…
