Portuguese activity - placement of the pronoun if

Read:

I once said that writing is a curse. (…) Today I repeat: it is a curse, but a curse that saves.

I'm not referring to writing for the newspaper. But writing what could eventually become a short story or a novel. It is a curse because it forces and drags like a painful addiction from which it is almost impossible to get rid of, as nothing replaces it. And it's a salvation.

Save the trapped soul, save the person who feels useless, save the day that you live and that you never understand unless you write. Writing is trying to understand, trying to reproduce the irreproducible, feeling until the last end the feeling that would remain only vague and suffocating. To write is also to bless a life that was not blessed… I now remember with longing the pain of writing books.
