Things that matter
the-artsy-oracle:
It’s past 2:45 am and I can’t sleep.
Our history was on TV.
- The Amerindians, the European invaders, the slayed Africans.
-The world listened to poems and songs in Portuguese because no, we don’t speak Spanish.
- The ever-so-festive country brought everyone’s attention to real problems
- There was samba, bossa, mpb
- We are made of forests. And beaches
And we have good architecture, and favelas too.
- People chanting “EU sou BRASILEIRO; com muito orgulho, com muito amor…”
- We aren’t the most developed economically, but the little we have, we’re always willing to share.
- What was shown tonight is like 30% of our cultural diversity or less…
… Yet, thanks for watching. Thanks for turning your attention to this undeveloped Latin American country that does what it can to keep its people smiling and with the fire you saw because yes, that’s the energy we irradiate every single day.
Today, the city I was proudly born, was the center of the attention, with the difficult mission of taking an entire country a little further from the shadows.
My city representing my whole country.
It’s 3am.
I cannot sleep.
