Remembering a place where I grew a lot, in ways I didn’t expect at the moment.

Well, this is my first text here, and I will only dip a toe on the water. I plan write whatever is in my mind at the moment, but since I end up never following my plans, it is very probable that I will revise endlessly everything I write here; or not.

First things first, I’m not an english native speaker, I’m not someone with a social sciences background, and I’m not a professional writer. Also, I’m an idealist and an illusive man, so I dream of people reading what I write and I’ll ask my occasional reader this: Please do correct me, do criticise me, do refute me, but, do it kindly, so that the spirit of improvement shows over the urge to destroy. Also, I will sometimes make use of deliberate mistakes to convey a point, and sometimes will use some quotations in other languages such as spanish (my first language), german and french (languages I’m trying to learn); probably I will sometimes write entire texts on those languages (I’m an illusive man, I did told you), if I write at all.

Well, this is my introduction. I hope my resolve grows, or I can channel my frustations well enough as I’m doing right now, and thus can I continue to write something. Creation is perhaps the greatest drive to life for beings like us.
