When kids, our favorite things about life is discovering something new, changing the usual, and going somewhere else to step out of routine, diving into the unknown with nothing but curiosity. Looking back I know everything was normal, it was not a crazy expensive house or a incredibly famous beach. It was a wandering heart of a kid that makes every step of the discovering an adventure. The birds singing our sound track, the wind running through my hair, feels like infinity. The feeling of the sun in my skin was like a hug from nature, beeing able to feel this kind of feelings makes me believe that this is why time never comes back, you must spend it going places and finding out more about yourself exploring the world and the mysteries it has, allow yourself to take risks. I could tell a million stories and I could try to improve some so it would sound better but, there is a pattern in all of them: the simplicity in the eyes whom see, something I live by, because, if you can see with simplicity, if you allow yourself beeing captivated then every place you go, with all his uniqueness, you will be able to see as a kid would see, with all it's complex simplicity. Laguna, a small town on one of Brazil's states, made me put it through perspective. I went there almost every year when I was a little kid. And the thing I learn there, was recognized in me as a teenager. Our empathy and selflessness can be bigger when we travel just as it is when we are kids. When we step out of our routine into a whole different place far from home, we also step into journeys, some could have more interference in our path along the road and some just cross our way for a few seconds in a corner, and as we are far from home we tend to watch more, to learn more, and to appreciate the depth in other lifes. That thought reminds me of my favorite saying in the portuguese language: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and that's how I feel in my travels: the beholder, a spectator, someone who step out of its own way to take a leap into the unknown and learn to gain something to last forevermore in our eternal wander hearts.
