Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and clear skies. I’ve noticed that it really affects me when I’m not feeling well. If I’m exhausted, it’s hard for me to perform at my best. I feel completely exhausted, both mentally and physically, so I can’t do much. The mental exhaustion prevents me from performing well in my classes. I’m not […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 28oC, hot, sunny, clear skies. I do not want to dwell on negativity by constantly talking about my problems. Instead, I want to demonstrate to others that they are not alone. We all experience difficulties and doubts and often feel isolated in our struggles, believing that no one else is going through similar tough times or […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny with clear skies. It is halfway through the week again, and due to all the confusion, questions, and doubts, I am feeling a deep sense of self-doubt, which I do not like. It feels pitiful and stupid, but at the same time, it is helping me learn more about myself. I realise […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. It is Tuesday, almost the end of the month, and I am feeling extremely frustrated, unsociable, and angry. I do not know if it is only now, at 57 years old, that I am beginning to see things in a different light. It feels like I have been wearing blinders for the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish and a clear sky. Sunday is always a special day. Especially when you have something special to do, you are at peace, and it is a beautiful day. It is a day where you can do whatever you want with whoever you want, or even just with yourself. I got up and went […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Saturday, and Saturdays are always good, especially in Rio de Janeiro. Cariocas, native people from the city of Rio de Janeiro, like Cockneys from London or Brummies from Birmingham, are spoilt. They are spoilt because, first of all, there are ninety-nine beautiful golden sandy beaches, eighty-three kilometres […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Friday again, thank God! If it is another Friday, it means that I am still alive. I have a life, and if I have a life, I am responsible for doing something with it. It is also a second chance. Every new day is a second chance […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday and almost the weekend, and I feel a little guilty. I have not been able to develop or do anything with the sites in the last couple of weeks. This is due to not knowing exactly what I want for each site and its identity. I also […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. So, half the month has already passed, and everything has been paid for: rent, gas, electricity, etc., and other things like a new coat to go England and Nalva’s glasses, and there is still a reserve. This reserve is to finish the treatment of my teeth, which is my priority […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warm and sunny. Sunday is the day I like to reserve at least the morning for myself. If I were living alone, like when I lived in Copacabana, and if Yasmin was not with me that weekend, I would love to be just alone, enjoying my own company. I would love early morning exercise and […]
