BIOGRAPHY
I was born among persons and cars movement which I adore. My baptism was in the waters of my Copacabana Beach, and with them I used to share my happiness, sadness, success, discoveries, vibrations and also to open my heart.
Every time I wished to dream, speak about freedom and to be just myself I went there and the waves used to give me the feeling of a wishful strength nature.
We were eight children and my house was gay, noisy and full of fun, such is the remembrance I will always keep in my soul.
At the suburb of Gávea, where my grandfather lived, I spend most of my life, during vacations and also whenever it was possible to enjoying that environment.
My grandfather, who was writer, journalist, lawyer and politician, had been my “guru” and I trusted him above all and considered him a great leader. His house was always visited by interesting people and that was a so called paradise for me: writers, artists, politicians, journalists and many university students of law who used to “drink” from his knowledge fountain.
My father was lawyer and psychiatrist and I also felt attracted by everything I could learn from that man, so culture related, so respected and full of human sovereignty. Despite of being many times very severe, he had – as counterpart – a fascinating personality and an exceptional intelligence.
I can say that I and my brothers and sisters had the privilege of living with those two men who admired overall the woman and her role in society.
Due to that I recall always my mother, proud and with a special character but deeply respected. She was very beautiful, elegant and had a marvellous and satin skin. A permanent reader, she had a superior education and ruled as a queen in her environment.
Since I was six yeas old I have been writing with a strong will and persistence and never stopped to wish a special place in the literary world. I was also a compulsive reader and writing was for me so essential like breathing. I had been editor of my school’s newspaper during my time there, but despite that I never forgot to be also a child.
I enjoyed to play at the big garden of my house and also to use my imagination in fantasies, in travelling, and liked to watch movies and go to theatres as well as taking part in theatre pieces. I loved to dance on my roller skate which meant for me a feeling of freedom.
When I was twelve I asked my mother to allow me to follow my school teachers in visits to Santa Maria slums in order to teach children of my age, who had no opportunity to learn due to their difficult conditions. My mother had a reaction of strong fear but the interference of my father was helpful and I could accomplish my wish.
There, being seduced by a world which was opposite to mine, we sat with them around us and tried to transmit what we had already studied. I’m sure I learned from those courageous people much more about life, opportunities, fights and their strong will than what we tried to teach.
I read intensively books from Brazilian, Portuguese and other nationalities writers like Monteiro Lobato,Érico Veríssimo, Machado de Assis, Eça de Queiroz, José de Alencar, Graciliano ramos, Jorge Amado, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus,Hermann Hesse, among others, and my world turned around between dream and reality.
I married very early and had two marvellous daughters. Being mother was the sweetest experience of my life and my daughters have been to me a light always intense and colourful.
I moved to Brasilia when I was still very young, having already my daughters, and I missed my sea, the white sand where I used to sit to get the warmth of a sun which brought me life, and missed also the streets, the movement, my hometown, my friends, relatives, the amusements, the visits to Santa Maria slums, the large smiles of intense happiness, the laughs together, the tears mixed with smiles, the sparkling life we had in success as well in frustrations.
However, I met here a marvellous family that adopted me – as they use to say –finished my “education” and is until today by my side.
I hope I can still accomplish many things and learn a lot, because I am still an apprentice, but at least I can say that I am living the best time of my life, trying to bring my dreams into reality, planning and being complete fulfilled as a woman.
