🍓 Sugar High. It took me 12 years and a #pandemic to go #strawberry picking in Canada and I loved it. I traveled to different #permaculture communities, visited many local #gardens around the world to eat fresh and #organic, when I had so much in my own #backyard that I have never explored. #Traveling was an excuse to allow myself to explore, when, in fact, so much is in the “here and now” and I took it for granted. While I am not traveling this Summer, the silver lining is that grass is GREEN on our side. Thanks @rochongarden for being my favourite #farmer and for encouraging me to come over. #thiagoMoment Levei 12 anos e uma pandemia para ir colher #morangos no #Canadá e adorei. Viajei para diferentes comunidades de permacultura, visitei #jardins locais ao redor do mundo para comer produtos #orgânicos, quando tinha tanto em meu próprio quintal que nunca havia explorado. #Viajar era uma desculpa para ir explorar, quando, de fato, tanta coisa está no “aqui e agora” e eu não aproveitei. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZ7gsUFi7c/?igshid=1k4ojim51z4vb

“#cavabienaller” owned by me This #painting has been in my mind for a long time, I knew what I wanted to #create but didn’t have the “time” or made it a #priority, until quarantine hit me. Easter used to be a trip adventure for me, this year it became a trip inwards. Here’s part of the outcome of this process. For sure, #isolation required a massive #adaptation for an extrovert on the go like me, but I keep hoping that everything will be ok! "Ça va bien aller" Esta #tela estava em minha mente há muito tempo, eu sabia o que queria criar, mas não tinha o "tempo" ou não a priorizei até a quarentena me atingir. Páscoa costumava ser uma aventura de viagem para mim, este ano tornou-se uma viagem interior. Aqui está parte do resultado desse processo. Certamente, o isolamento exigiu uma adaptação grande para um extrovertido sempre em movimento como eu, mas eu continuo esperando que vai dar tudo certo. #art #arte #abstractart #colours https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJu78FF5sx/?igshid=diisgi9wsd4h

As we hit Election Day, I’ve been reflecting on my last 4 years in the public service. I worked on 3 completely different priorities in one mandate (from #youth, then #veterans, to #opengovernment global summit). They were incredible and very tough 4 years. I was hitting the ground flying. Some big highs, some massive lows and late nights. While thinking about what I could have done better, this text kept coming to my mind. As a #minority in many aspects, having the chance to work on these files was a gift and empowering people was my biggest reward. So I’m sharing this in the hopes we empower more people. Thanks everyone for keeping up with this weirdo dreamer and his “#ThiagoMoment” https://www.instagram.com/p/B33X_ykFz3M/?igshid=14stmswq8sz9s

#MOM. I traveled with my mom for almost a month. She finally got her #visa and came to #Canada for the first time after 12 years. I left #Brazil when I was 21, so virtually, mom heard about my life and #friends, but didn’t really know them. I wanted to show her it all, #Ottawa, #Toronto, and #Montreal, watch the #sunset in my favorite spot, to live 12 years in a few weeks. At the #airport, as soon as I left her at the gate, like she did many times, I sobbed uncontrollably. I got home with red eyes and found #post-its in every corner of the house written by mom to remind me of our #love. My house felt empty yet so full of #memories. @psicologa.sfernandes https://www.instagram.com/p/B2gsX5UlANq/?igshid=1f6mk84829lxe

#OttawaPride. #PRIDE. This year I marched in the #Toronto, #Montreal, and #Ottawa Pride Parade to say: YOU ARE LOVED. I hoped to bring #healing to myself and to everyone that crossed my way. It was my duty to honour those who fought for our rights, those who are still being persecuted or fighting, and to lead by example for younger ones. I am an “#inclusionist” and proud to say WE exist, are creative, hard workers, beautiful inside and out, and we care for our community. #lgbtq #lgbtq🌈 #capitalpride thanks @sonnyb636 for the photo https://www.instagram.com/p/B1pw6bKllNE/?igshid=wdkalf1mhcaj

My #brother is a #dreamChaser. He teaches me with his #grit and #freedom. Living for your #dreams is scary, but ignoring them is not living. Rafa, TE AMO! Meu #irmão é um #caçadoradeSonhos. Ele me ensina com sua #determinação e #liberdade. Viver para os seus #sonhos é assustador, mas ignorá-los não é viver. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1jR-pelXOp/?igshid=otnv04peypgq

#Family #Dreams. My #brother and his #husband decided to bring my #mom to their #honeymoon in #Paris. That’s their first international trip! Coming from a simple family in #Brazil, going to Paris was like going to the moon for a Canadian family. Possible but unlikely. My brother made it happen. He teaches me with his grit and #freedom. Living for your dreams is #scary, but ignoring them is not living. Rafa, TE AMO! Sonhos da família. Meu irmão e seu marido decidiram trazer minha mãe para a lua de mel em Paris. Essa é a primeira viagem internacional deles! Vindo de uma família simples no Brasil, ir a Paris era como ir à lua para uma família canadense. Possível, mas improvável. Meu irmão fez acontecer. Ele me ensina com sua determinação e liberdade. Viver para os seus sonhos é assustador, mas ignorá-los não é viver.
