Dúvida

O que se deve dizer a uma pessoa quando ela faz um corte de cabelo/compra uma peça de roupa/toma uma decisão que nós achamos que não lhe fica bem nem foi a melhor? A verdade? A mentira convicta? Ou a mentira dita de maneira que dê a entender que não gostamos assim tanto?

The uninvited guests

I was just laying there, resting, looking at the ceiling. My mind was wondering around as one of the most important things slipped through my fingers: time! I have been given the opportunity to get what I always wanted and I let it pass. I couldn't forgive myself. If only I had done that simple thing...
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Who could it be? I wasn't expecting anyone and I wasn't really in the mood for company so I just stood there in silence waiting for them to go away. But they didn't and they knocked again even harder.
- Who is it? - I asked.
- It's me, Susan, open up.
- Hey! How are you?
- Great! Listen, I have something that will sweep you of your feet but you need to come with me right now!
- But...but...what is it? I just got up, I'm not going anywhere.
- Don't be ridiculous! It's past noon and its a beautiful day out there.
- I'm sorry but I'm not really in the mood for your crazy adventures.
I knew I need a distraction. Thinking about what I had lost was driving me crazy. Wasn't there anything I could do to have one more shot at it? Oh...if only I could go back in time and change things...But the girl at the door, although she was a good friend, just wasn't someone I wanted to be around that day. I didn't have the patience for her. So I just sent her away, saying that I would call her later that day.
I went back inside, turned on the television and sat at the computer. It's obvious that while I was checking my e-mails and reading through the usual blogs, my phone rang. It was Timmy, probably wanting to just hang out. Then, a messenger window just popped into my computer screen. Someone else wanted to talk to me. I realized then, that even though these people were all great friends, my mind made them uninvited guests to my "just want to be left alone" day. But I had to fight it. I had to accept and learn from my earlier mistake and move on. And so I did, I picked up the phone...
