I first started to speak when I was two years old.

But it took me years to learn how to say things.

That came after I started to write.

My writing is like an emotional mapping.

 

Instead of symbols, graphs, and captions, I use words.

Sometimes I write because what I feel doesn't fit me anymore.

It is like trying to fit into old clothes after gaining weight.

 

So I dress myself with words.

 

I still feel bare soul though.

Sometimes no word seems capable of expressing

That "unbearable lightness of being"

Kundera has so greatly described

Maybe that is the incongruity of human existence.

Na Lojinha - Cenas de um balcão em quatros atos - (At the Gift Shop) is a collection of short stories about a small gift shop that used to be in a traditional movie Theather place in Ipanema, Rio - Brazil.

The book is available on Amazon and it will have an English version soon.
