#human positive

Hello friends, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here but I wanted to drop a little project I’ve been working on - maybe some of you have seen it, maybe not. 

https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/this-is-me

I introduced “#ThisIsMe” in April this year on my Instagram, a social project based on the intersection of positivity and inclusivity. I could explain it’s purpose, but I’d love if you just see it instead! If you have time, watch the video here and let me know what you think. 

From this point, we have officially launched a campaign on Seed&Spark to crowdfund for our short film based on the project and I would love if, after the video of course, you would check out the site, share it, follow it and even contribute to it, if you can!

If you want to follow the project itself, you can find it on instagram, @thisismeproj, or on facebook.com/thisismeproj or our website, www.thisismeproj.wordpress.com

I wish that i, as human, shouldn't have to necessarily have the same standardized priorities as everybody wants me to have.

In my country, if we want to enter a good public college, we need to go through a test (or maybe two, like in my case), which is enough reason for unnecessary nervousness and preoccupation due to the expectations laid on us, young'uns.

One test is literally called High School National Exam (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio), and it's a proficiency to make sure you have learn 100% of every single subject that you learn during Grade AND High School.

Some High School seniors spend a huge part of their days studying, even denying themselves leisure and sleep, for these tests, most under the pressure their parents put on them, which is the same for me, except i don't actually study for the tests because i that's simply not my priority. I actively pursuit learning more about what i like, what i want to do with my life.

I search for and test recipes, i try and take lots of pictures, i attempt drawing things that come into mind, i watch YouTube chemistry and physics videos, etc.

I do that because i like those things, and to me, knowing them is more important than knowing the name of every state's capital city.
