Very nice reading.
More than 10 years ago, I found a website (I don’t remember the name), that allowed me to send a message to myself 10 years from that date, saying how I saw my life 10 years ahead. I did it but I could never receive that message because, the e-mail I have used at that time was not working anymore 10 years later. I don’t remember very much what I said, but I was unemployed, I was not fluent on the language of the country I’ve decided to live my life, and I was on pajamas in the middle of a working day. I am sure my life did not evolve in the way I expected, but now I can say that I am happy, even if I did suffer a lot to get here. Sometimes I am still on pajamas on the middle of a working day. But now it is a choice. :)
I did find a diary from the time I was in a scholarship I won to live a year in Canada. Reading that 15 years old Brazilian boy, so curious, filled with good intentions and courage, I got proud of myself. I had been tough on myself accusing me of not accomplishing certain things, saying to myself that maybe it took time for me to become a better person. But I was already a good person. I just missed self-awareness during some parts of my journey.
