ABOUT ME

If one day I was asked what I did of my life, I would say I did ballet, school, boxing and friends. The best I’ve made, were friends. About them, I have them in all the sizes: rich, poor, gay, straight, nerd, relaxed, junkies, athletes, lived and inexperienced ones. And none of them is less dear to me because of this, they’re the dearest ones. I left home when I was eighteen. I worked hard and I woke up early, while going to bed late. I bought bras with wadding, expensive clothes and cheap cars. I learned how to skate, ice skate, to ride a bicycle and to get on buses. I learned English and Linguistics, and nowadays I think I can learn anything. I’ve never broken a bone, my heart has been broken, though, and I’ve racked my brains. I danced a lot, loved the applauses in the end. I’ve stumbled, and I’ve been left behind. I’ve felt ashamed, and I had checks returned for lack of funds. I understood that the world is excessively great, and that you can almost die of homesickness, and, at the same time, wish never to go back. Great things are great, and the small ones... are small! I understood that nobody is obligated to anything, neither am I, and learned to be tolerant. Nowadays, I like cinema, music, theater and paçoca, it’s a brazilian candy, but I don't think it's possible not to like them. I’m afraid of horror movies and I always sleep hugging my pillow. I have to move all the time, but I always miss what’s left behind. And it does not matter the much I weigh, I always want to have three kilos less. To learn the remaining portion of me, we need to talk a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be small.
