I'm from Brazil but I lived in Michigan - USA from 1997 until 2004. During that time I learned that the world is bigger than I thought and it definitely does not turn around me (only-child syndrome). It was a bit hard but also a fulfilling experience since it helped me realize the kind of person I was and the kind of person I wanted to be (aww.. isn't that what life is all about, kids)
I'm controversial (shiAt). Passionate and impulsive, extroverted and inpatient. I would say there's no in between for me, things either are or are not, black or white, true or false.. Anything else, I'm still trying to figure it out...
