About life and freedom
"So, where are you working now?".
"Nowhere in particular".
"Nowhere?", the person insists.
"Nowhere", I do answer.
The truth is, I have saved some money before??? I answered like that.
(not sure what you're trying to say here)
And now I'm giving myself some time to think and follow - at least a little bit - my dreams.
What I'have learned is that there isn't anything as good as freedom. Nothing as good as focusing on my dreams and slow down. and not live in a race against time.
Maybe I'm being cliché, but everyone wants something in life. Or used to want something.
No, I'm not saying I'm not going to work anymore. Because working is the only way I have to put my plans into action. What I'm saying is: I want to live beyond having a a carreer (career) and constantly have having to listen to,: "be like that to be more respected as a profesional", "don't have an opinion", or "live to please someone at work".
During the last few years I worked in Politics, as a journalist.

The truth is: Politics in Brazil is really a shame. Most of the politicians think they don't need to work to help the population, they just need to pretend and work for themselves.
In Journalism and in Politics, I've realized that most of the people spend their whole life pleasing someone to get promoted. They can earn a lot of money every month, but they don't have the freedom to spend more time with their families, friends and or have some time for themselves.
So, I realized that whatever the definition of happiness is, that's not it. That's not the path I want in life. Live to please some people like they were God, and defend them against others, constantly worying about their images.
The working routine and doing what society thinks is best for us, sometimes, can kill our desires. Living is simple. And being free is one of the most amazing things that can happen with to someone.
Freedom of choice, freedom to stop being judgemental, freedom of not being afraid and freedom to think outside the box. Frequently, all we do is worrying about silly things, broken hearts and we are get afraid of changing. We think we have a plan, but our plan is what society wants and keep warning us. ???
There's nothing as good as being inspired, in the present, without stressing so much about ephemeral things.
And if one day I realize I was wrong about thinking that way, let it be. I fall and I stand. We need to have a lot of stories to tell in life.
