Here you’ll find a collection of translated texts that explore the human experience through psychology, philosophy, and everyday life. Originally written in Portuguese and Spanish, these reflections now reach a global audience — inviting readers from all backgrounds to pause, feel, and think.
Whether I’m writing about pain, death, healing, or the silent rituals of a hospital, each piece is an invitation to reflect on what it means to be human.
I believe that words can connect us across cultures and languages. So take your time, read slowly, and let each text speak to your own “model of the world.”
Thank you for being here.
