Singer and composer Margarida Campelo, the latest guest on the Posto Emissor program, remembered the time she studied jazz at the Hot Clube de Portugal, where she faced prejudice for listening to artists like Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. According to Campelo, at the time these names "didn't look good to say you listened to", and she was met with negative reactions. The artist's mother defended her by saying "they're the stupid ones". Campelo stated that this type of prejudice no longer exists today.

The text compares the efforts we make at the beginning of a relationship (choosing clothes, putting on perfume) with the complacency that sets in over time (wearing old t-shirts, neglecting appearance). It argues that being comfortable in the relationship is positive, but that this should not mean abandoning self-care, warning that many people stop taking care of themselves over time, leaving their own body and well-being for later.
