Don't try to build in the space you suppose

Don’t try to build in the space you suppose

is future, Lydia, 
and don’t promise yourself

Tomorrow.

Quit hoping and be who you are

Today. 
You alone are your life.

Don’t plot your destiny, 
for you are not future.

Between the cup you empty 
and the same cup

Refilled, 
who knows whether your fortune

Won’t interpose the abyss?

Fernando Pessoa1888-1935
