'There isn't much to be explained, I think our story is quite simple. I think that the stories of how people meet each other are quite simple. We were lucky to meet during the exchange year, in the first meeting of exchange students in our district. What I find amazing is that she comes from Colombia and I come from Brazil, but we met in France.' How does your relationship work? It works very well, I think. It's sort of a long distance relationship as she lives 1h30 away and we can't see each other all the time, but for me this feels like preparation for the future. It's a healthy relation. Of course we would like to be together more often but that's okay. It's always an amazing experience because she taught me my 4th language. It isn't a "normal", full of patterns relationship. We're always breaking the script. We don't mind saying to each other 'I'm broke so let's split the check' or 'I wanna sleep. Have a good night.'. We don't waffle. It's always very open between us. How do you think it will be when you go back home? As I said, I think that living in different cities will get us ready for when the day comes. We don't think about breaking up just because we'll live in different countries. It'll be hard, but we never asked for things to be easy. She's got her stuff in Colombia and I've got mine in Brazil. We both have our own lives, but we'll work out a way to stay together. Aren't you afraid that your relation might become something like a work? I don't think that routine will bite us. I won't be near her and she won't be near me so everything will be interesting enough for us to chat. When I say we want to work it out I mean we'll do our best so that everything we have in mind gets done. We've already got through the hardest part, which was meeting each other in a world with 7 billion people. If you had to describe 'love', how would you do it? Can I use a swear word? Well, too late. Fuck, you really got me there. I can't describe it. It's something everyone describes in its own way. I think that if there's reciprocity of affection, attention, support and friendship, then it is love. I play the ''cool guy'' but I'm actually very sentimental. Love, for me, is essential in any forms. It might be "family love", "couple love" or "friendly love". Friendship in a relation is very important. I find it hard to sleep near someone who I know I can't count on when I need her. Love is hard to describe but it might be very good as long as it is reciprocal.
