life bubble

people told me that i was sheltered but i had no idea what these so called people were speaking of. i've been to rougher parts of the suburbs, i've lived in what i consider a nicer part of the hood in atlanta, but coming to brazil removed ALL doubt! somedays i feel like i am reliving those great buddha enlightenment stories when he sees poor people his first days outside of his palace. people really live differently. i'm not gonna say better or worse cause i think you can be happy or miserable anywhere, but there are abundant resources around them that most people don't have access to. aight so what am i doing, bitching about something new...no, not exactly! i am observing that i, like everyone, create beauty to remain sane. even if things aren't aesthetically pleasing everywhere homosapiens have this habit of making art out of life. i am picking up all sorts of habits. hmmm this was a bit of a ramble.
