Pretending

Most of my life is spent pretending...

For example, as I write I pretend I can write or talk in english... but I promised I would write a post in english, so here goes...
As I was saying, I pretend to live, I pretend to work… sometimes I pretend to care… Today I did it with someone who really needed. You know when you just feel that someone needs to talk? Today I didn’t felt it. But that woman just needed to say what was going on in her soul. She was sad. She was home sick. And no one seemed to care or listen to her. So I did. And she took it out of her system… into mine, but that’s just a detail.
I don’t think I could go abroad for long. Or during holydays, birthday, or any special dates… How could I possibly miss my niece’s birthday, for example? And there are loads of people around us that do it searching for a better live. And they suffer in silence.
Today I really felt sorry for that Brazilian woman that was going to spend Christmas alone…
