We are what we eat, breath and smell. We are what surrounds us, we are a little bit of each friend, of each book we read, each poem we analyse, each and every story we tell and write. We are what we scream at a football game, we are the ice-cream topping we love.We are what makes us get up each morning from bed, what makes people smile back at us, what makes friends want to be with us when they are sad. We are who we are and continue discovering ourselfs everyday.
Im a Mark Twain, George Orwell and Oscar wilde. I am Wallace Stevens. I am Peter Pan, Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby and today i feel like Alice. I´m in wonderland.
I am the adventures i have, the places i go, the trips i make. For me London smells like wet concrete, Portugal smells like summer, Amsteram smells like cold and São Paulo smells like sun in the middle of clouds wanting to pop out. But there is no smell like the smell of my bed. That´s just one of the things that makes me smile!
I am the people that surround me. Inspiring and being inspiered. I am my family, a believer that nothing is more important, more valuable, more trustable. i am a friend.
I am the sports i love. Horse riding made me realized that you cannot control nature, you have to embrace it. I learn. Volleyball made me work in group. We are more than one. We are a team. I play. As football captain i was present in every win, every loss, every draw. I motivate.
I learn, i play i motivate. I read I write I search. This is me with my curly hair. This i simplicity in a world full of inspirations.
For now, still at the begining of this lifetime journey i am a 'Once upon a time story' and i can start this story by convictly saying that I´m a great believer, a dreamer and a storyteller. This is me, a 27 year old girl. A copyrighter.
