Hi everyone! How are you?
What should I say about myself? My name is Leonardo, but as you can see you can call me Leo. I'm 32 years old. I've always loved new kind technologies, but at the same time I love history as well. I was one of those children, whenever my family bought a new electronic device, (like a microwave or a DVD player, or that bakery with digital display) I was the one who knew how it worked just by touching it. YES! That was my X-MEN power. lol But over the years that power was running out ... Until today I need to try hard to get to know and understand a new technology...
For a long time I felt a little lost, high school was always that mad thing, a place to study but also to meet and to try to understand myself and the people around me. Even more when I discovered that I was gay. So add one more thread to these discovering process. But it turned out ok. I took drama classes, joined the choral and band groups... But it was a symphonic one. I played a tuba, but I also played with some other music instruments.
As you can see, I've been a baby.
Now, here on #steemit, I am a #Plancton
Maybe a plancton looking for Whales? Why not?
But one day I'll be the #Whale, just wait for it!
I did not have a beard. I have it a lot today!
I already had a long hair.
I've had enough and I've cut everything as it was also falling...
I've done wrong things.
But I have done it right a few times
And I already thought the thing was wrong,
but I came to realize that it was the right thing, after all.
And also the other way around.
In the end, to discover that there is neither right nor wrong,
but only Lessons Learned.
I already had a sister.
And also I've had two brothers (and I still have all of them).
I've been the curious birthday kid!
I've felt so lost without knowing what to do with my life.
I felt 100% sure of what I wanted to do with my life.
Today, I am looking for the balance of it all.
I've already started a degree in Graphic Design.
I already left the college once. ok, maybe twice.
I already got a job in the first place I applied for.
But I also applied as Fu*** and not a single place call me back.
Once, I sold everything I owned and went to the US.
I have participated in a Miami Ink recording. (unintentionally)
I have worked more than 12 hours in one single day as a waiter.
I have met several artists, working in a steakhouse...
I've been in San Francisco.
I've seen the snow.
But sadly I never touched the snow, because I was inside the Airport, in connection.
I was the behaved guy who did not drink a drop!
I was the demon guy who drank them all!
I already took pictures as a carpenter.
I already took Philosophy classes at college but I did not finish them...
I've lost and found myself several times.
After all, I'm still finding and loosing myself everyday...
But after all that I've done, one thing I've never failed to get. It was Doubts, Questions, Insecurities. I have learned that this is what makes us human. What we need to do is to know how we can live with it and accept it. Most of all how we can learn from those things, called weaknesses. As we all know, what does not kill us makes us stronger, isn't it?
And those "weaknesses" make us wonderfully incredible beings capable of making significant changes in the lives of other humans with whom we live.
Well, that was a little about me.
I hope it was a good reading, thank you in advance.
Maybe I see you next post?
