At last! At last I've given in to it...I wasted so much time trying to convince myself that being a blogger was useless and that sharing things of my life in a public diary was a mad cliché, not to mention insanely lame that I wound up running out of reasons why I shouldn't do it. In fact, I even forgot why I thought it was so rubbish when actually, it feels so right. So now this is my opportunity to let the world know who I am, and who I can be as far as life can take me; We all have dreams, aspirations, wishes, fears, goals, rules; we all want to get somewhere even though sometimes we haven't learnt where to yet. We all want to show who we are, not only to the others but to ourselves. We all want to know who we really are. For now, I'm pretty pleased with myself. Always finding out something different, something new. Sometimes angry or stressed, but never unhappy. I have always been a journal keeper. Being born an LDS (aka Mormon) I was taught to keep a journal since a little boy as a way to keep record of my family history and of my good deeds as a good Christian lad. So this is how my legacy of life (ha ha) started. Over the years - not many, though - I wrote and wrote, and wrote over again; as a result, a big heavy trunk below my bed full of diaries...old, stinky, humid diaries. I decided, then, that I should do something different. I was sick and tired of keeping them there hidden and thought it'd be nicer if I let people read them because they were so packed with funny stories that they'd be better off out there in the open rather than under my dirty boring bed. For days I did the same ritual, picked 4 or 5 of those books and went about town leaving them in random places so strangers would find them and if they found it interesting enough, pick them up. Now I've none left. Not one! From now on this blog will be my escape route. This is where I'll deposit all my memories and feelings. This way I can be once again a good "Mormon" journal keeper, plus let the world know the truth about Miguel Albino, the whole truth. Starting with: I'm not an LDS any longer, hehe... Next thing you need to know about me is I love. I love and love loving. I am blessed to have the bestest people for friends in the world. Fortunately I've got a very good judgement on people and have hardly ever been friends with someone who wasn't really a good person, which is very fantastic. I also love my family (mum)...that's right, my family is a little limited; they're not very tolerant if you know what I mean, hehe. And there is one person that I share a special type of love with. His name is Steve Simpson and that's pretty much all I need to tell you about him. The way I plan to finish this post can show you all you need to know about us being together and why I chose him. My journey begins in Rio de Janeiro where I was born and brought up. In a few weeks I'll be flying to England to be with Steve, so I hope I fill up this blog with as many nice and good stories as I can before I go. Should be lovely to explore Rio to its fullest before my environment changes drastically to a total different reality. :) To sum it all up, my favourite actress, Kate Winslet quoted one of my favourite authors, William Shakespeare in one of my favourite films, The Holiday (how convenient!): "Journeys end in lovers' meeting".
