meu admirável mundo novo.

I don't know what's in the air in Brazil that makes Brazilian people genuinely batshit. We're just built different

I don't know how to explain to gringos the concept of gambiarra without making it sound like the entire country of Brazil is set to creative mode

Please try anyways, bestie ❤

So gambiarra is the art of finding solutions with what you have. The art of improv. Not always the best solution, but the solution you're capable of. I'll get some examples

“read thoreau to connect with transcendentalist ideals.” or… i could just spend three hours walking through a park, pretend i discovered the meaning of life, and then come home to write a deeply personal essay about it. same energy.

If it’s meant to be I’ll see you later
