Não é a primeira vez. E talvez não seja a última. Não que eu deseje reaprender a ficar sozinho — mas é desafiador.

It’s not the first time. And it may not be the last. Not that I wish to relearn how to be alone — but it is challenging. And maybe that’s life at its best: teaching us how to detach from what we’re used to.

Onde mora o meu lar? Tenho caminhado com essa pergunta nos bolsos. Num mundo onde mudar de cidade, de país, de idioma se tornou simples, acabamos por atravessar continentes… e, às vezes, perder o endereço de nós mesmos. Comigo foi assim. Quando saí do Brasil, em 2005, pensei que seria breve. Seis meses. Um inglês melhor e o regresso. Eu não fugia da minha vida — ela era cheia. São Paulo pulsava trabalho, amigos, família, viagens.
