Oh, my eyes... Oh, my eyes.... you guys sometimes make me feel shallow. Yes! The beauty of that face! Why does it matter?! This feels like prejudice... I hate it. Come on, my consciousness! Where are my principles? Think...Feel... Think... Feel... Such a fight!

Deep inside myself... A song, a movie, a book, a painting... how powerful they can be! They are like vehicles for my soul. Emotions, sigh, this is the fuel. My creativity: the driver... Such a trip! I just... don't know why... whenever I travel, I get lost in wonderland, deep inside myself.

Some thoughts about myself, again~ Life. Isn't it such a mysteriously wonderful thing? I, as a human, have infinite possibilities of choosing how to live it. Isn't it a privilege? Therefore, may my life not go to waste. I want to learn more about this world, specially about different people, cultures, languages. I want to be useful in some way in order to make people's life better. I just love diversity; diversity in behavior, appearance, way of thinking etc. I love freedom, but, my biggest dream is that, one day, there could be universally respected rules based only on peace and love. Finally, well, I have to admit that, even if I don't know what the reason is, I am passionate about Asia, specially about China, South Korea, and Japan!

A little bit about myself. After quite a long time being a member of Italki, I decide now to write something here for the first time. My name is Tiago, I'm 22 years old and I've lived in Brazil since I was born. I am not fond of writing, but sometimes I feel I need to do it because my thoughts are always boiling. My mind seems confusing and always full of questions, but now I know that basically no question can have a 100% satisfactory answer, at least not for me. I'm not good at oral communication... not because I don't know how to speak, but because I am just too nervous, shy and introvert. I feel uncomfortable when too many people look at me, I just feel like running away. I absolutely hate those behaviors, because I feel I am not being who I think I truly am. Something kind of funny is that the things I want to do require what I seem to lack the most, one example is: I want to work with communication, language. I want to be an interpreter/translator...Where does that desire come from?... Is my deep self trying to push me away from my weaknesses?... Freedom, truth, authenticity and love. These are the things I seek the most in my life. Not really a social freedom, I already have pretty much of it here, but something very personal. I want to feel free inside myself, free to think, to believe, to feel, regardless of what happens around me. Truth, something that I don't really know what is, but what I just seek desperately, maybe because I hate ambiguity...Authenticity, this one is a noble virtue, which is an expression of freedom. And, finally, love, which for me is impossible to truly understand, because it is so utopian… But what matters is that it leads people to do what is good for all, in a pleasant, caring and unselfish way. Love, for me, if the essence of existence
