So, I took a minute or two today to read the captions I posted on my Instagram photos this year, and what an experience! So much to be grateful for! 🙌🏻
In a couple of posts, I wrote that I hadn’t had the best day or that unfortunate things had happened to me, but that I was choosing to remain hopeful either way. If I told you that I have no idea now what those unfortunate things were, would you believe me? — Now, the good things... ❤️
I remembered what I was feeling when I wrote most of my happy captions. I remembered the pictures being taken and who I was with. I remembered the freedom, the happiness, the gratitude. I also realized the cool (and the not so cool) things that happened after posting something, and I thought about how I had no clue that my life was about to change days, or even hours, after.
Life makes more sense when we look at it backwards, towards the past. I’m in a really good mental and emotional phase right now, thank God, but this exercise reminded me on a core level that everything happens for a reason: the good, the bad, and the things we don’t understand yet.
I know this has been a strange year, but it’s been a pretty cool one too. I’m so happy about all of the hope messages I spread out this year, and how much I’ve grown. It’s been the most stable of all of my recent years, and I hope it continues going this way.
// And Silvia, if you come back to this post in a few years, I just wanna state: you were pretty cool back then already. 😉😎 Cheers, girl! 🥂 Hope you’ve remained happy & healthy! ❤️ You deserve it! 🧜🏻‍♀️😘

Thank you, ‘Merica. And thank you to everyone who have made an impact in my life - from minimum to essential. Y’all have no idea how these interactions are important to me to continue choosing to be here every day.
America is not where I was I born, this is where I chose to call home. Some say that love is a choice, and I can only hope that this continues to be mine. “God bless America - my home, sweet home.” ❤️

5 years ago, I hopped on a plane having only the bare minimum idea about what I was gonna do with my life. I was taking a family trip to Orlando after a very troublesome period filled with difficulties and losses back home. At the end of those vacations, almost out of nowhere, I knew in my heart that I wasn’t meant to go back to Brazil. So just like that, I stayed.
These 5 years seem like a lifetime to me. I’ve lived in California, then in Florida, then in Kansas, and now back in Florida. I’ve traveled to 20 states, putting me almost halfway through fulfilling my dream to step foot on all of them. I’ve met amazing people, I’ve even dated amazing people, and I’ve learned so much. I’ve laughed until my belly hurt innumerable times; I’ve also cried like there was no tomorrow plenty. But there was a tomorrow, there always is.
Living abroad, apart from family and friends is incredibly challenging. When things are good, they are amazing. But when they are bad, we’re covered by the most hopeless feeling most people will ever feel. It requires a strong mind to remember that the rain always goes away, and the sun always shines again.
I was also lucky enough to go visit Brazil twice during the past 5 years. Feeling that overwhelming amount of love from people that have known me my whole life was probably one of the happiest feelings I’ve ever felt. Truth be told, it was hard to leave. But I knew I had to.
You see, the most challenging part of living abroad is not the day-to-day functions. Those are easy, as tired as our bodies get sometimes. But missing out on important events - birthdays, graduations, my brother’s wedding. Those are the moments I wonder if I’ve made the right decision. But when I think of life in general, I know in my heart that there’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be.
I don’t know what the future still holds for me, and what God’s plans are for my zip code in the future, but what I do know is that through thick and thin, and all the challenges that I go through every day as an immigrant, I absolutely 100% love this country.

Aumenta o volume e DANÇAAA! Mesmo se estiver cansada, mesmo se não estiver com vontade e, principalmente, se não estiver se sentindo bem. Nem que mova uma perninha pra cá, outra pra lá e fim. Música é terapia ❤️ E seja gentil com você mesma. Olhe no espelho, sorria e diga: não te entendo as vezes, mas te gosto muito mesmo assim. Um passinho de cada vez, mulheradaaaa! E daqui um tempinho, a alegria e a paz vão REINAR na sua vida, como que num passe de mágica. Eu sei que funciona porque fiz isso. Doeu, foi devagar, mas hoje me sinto tão bem, tão livre. Vai dar tudo certo pra você também, prometo. Mas o trabalhinho de casa desse momento é: música relativamente alta e um passinho pra cada lado. Se conseguir, dois. Vamo???

But tonight, 🤍
