Hello gus!
I'm a brazilian woman who decided to create a blog in English to help me improve my writting skills, so I'll talk about my life, my beliefs, my reflexions and everything that I think it would be interesting to share. So don't expect the same subjects all the time. I'm in a self journey thus sometimes I can write some crazy things kkkkk
Well I'm a 34-year-old-woman, married(sometimes it's weird for me to use this word). I work as an English teacher(maybe I'll commit some mistakes here,I'm still learning,I'll be always learning, so don't care if sometimes I use some formal words, I'm leraning), however, I graduated in Social Work. I also have done other things in my life, such as work as a dance teacher and different places like in a slum and also in a police station.
I'm so different than when I was a teenager. I don't remember so well who I was in my childhood...well I believe that is something that most of the people don't remember. Actually we don't know who we are, what we are doing in this world, we also don't know about our feelings....we don't know a lot of things, so I can say that I'm normal for not remember who I was in my childhood kkkk My mother said to me that I was a happy kid. I remember when I was 9 years old, my primary school, some friends. I also remember once my father tooking me to shool by car and I've felt that I was a VIP person because I used to go on foot. My mother used to say that I've learned quickly how to read and write, so because of that I've entered on elementary school a little early.
I've studied in a great school from my first year at elementary school though my last year. I've studied with the same group for 4 years. It was wonderful. From that time I remember some jokes, some teachers and a lot of friends. I know that I was shy and I used to have difficulties to make new friends and to talk in public.
Besides school at that time I lived in a neighborhood a little far from my grandma's house. This fact is sad for me because all my best friends lived near my grandma's house. I don't know why I didn't have friends in my own neighborhood, but the fact is that I spent bunch of time im my grandma's house and I was so happy there.
I enjoyed a lot my childhood, that I remember for sure. My friends and I used to play on the streets. Any kind of game we've played. My only concerns were "when can I play with them?\ What can we do now? and what kind of game can we play?" We were in 8, later more people joined in our group and others moved from another place or city, like me.
I remember to be a kid for a long time-I'm saying that because today children are growing so fast, they want to antecipate some steps in their lifes- but I wasn't that kind of children and I thank God for that 'cause it's not easy to be an adult also I could enjoy every moment without rushing it, and I also can say that my generation was the last one to enjoy with more freedom their early years.
When I was 15 years old I had to move to another city, then I started to live in Rio de Janeiro, where I've lived for 13 years. I was very happy and sad there. My life had changed a lot- new friends, new life,new school, new everyhting. It was there where I've started to grow and passed though a lot of things that I could never imagined before.
At that time I used to use the internet a lot. I didn't have friends to play on the streets or to come over my house. It was not easy to deal with that, but somethings I don't know how or why, we get used to, so I've got used to that.
Can you imagine a shy girl in a public high school in a big city? Yeah,that was me! I remember that I was so afraid of that people in my school, but I've made wonderful friends. I don't know why but I prefer to stay near people that are the opposite of me. I love outgoing and talkative ones. I've always loved. I'm a different person today, however, since that times I've never enjoyed people like me kkkkk
Well, of course I have more memories of those days. My perspective of life was a little different. For a long time I didn't know what I wanted for me, but I also remember to be afraid to become an adult also have the responsability of my life in my hands.
It's crazy to look back and remember who you were and everything you've passed though also the things you could overcome and at that time it was impossible for you...even though now you can see that you could overcome a lot of things that you used to think you couldn't.
I can say that I'm happy to start this new journey with you. Sharing my feelings, my thoughts, my life...
It's not easy to put down in words everything that is inside, but I'm already enjoying it!
