I was recently laughed at because of the ideas that we have about how to live life. I guess many people think we should just accept the life that Brasil has to offer and not try to change it. It is the Box; if you live in the box there is little chance for riches but possibly just a good life. It is true that Rodrigo and I think we can have it all and we have sacrificed many things for a better life which is in our definition; a life where happiness comes first. We have traded security for adventure many times and we hate to be bored. Now I am willing to settle down but not willing to stop asking for more out of life.
