Where I come from | brunovinhas

My story doesn't start on early this morning, it comes from the people before me - my ancestors.

It will come from the people after me - the memory I leave behind.

It comes from the names I was called and how they become part of me - if not my entire self.

I started with the things I was told and how I came to deny them and it stays as an ever evolving succession of breaths and places.

My story didn't start this morning and it shall not die with the sunset
