Duda Makes Things

This image isn't made by me but it means a lot to me. This week I talked with a Psychologist in English, and it was tough to speak about my feelings in another language. But in the end, it was good. This picture is a reminder of this day and the phrase on it and the animal represented on it means a lot at this time in my life, and I will explain why. Well, like I said in another post, I am 30 years old now, I am not so young and I started to learn a new course again. I never finished one course before, so I really want to finish this new opportunity. Because of this feeling of not wanting to give up again, I asked for help.  I am saying this because I am feeling a little turtle during this journey. I am a really slow learner, in the past I felt guilty because I was not like the others and I wanted to be like the others and I blamed myself for not being. At this time I am trying to understand that I am slower than the others and it is not a problem, and it is more important to embra...

Avatar from Wizarding World When Pottermore started I did my quiz there, and the sorting hat put me in Gryffindor House, I accepted that and for years I believed that I was Gryffindor. But, a big BUT here, everyone that I have said that I was Gryffindor told me that I look like more as Hufflepuff. And I asked myself about the possibility of being it.  Because of this, I tried the official quiz again yesterday, now is not Pottermore anymore is Wizarding World. And to my surprise, the sorting hat put me in Ravenclaw House this time!  Was really surprising and I swear that didn't try to manipulate the answers.  Just to be sure, I did another quiz, bigger than the official website test, I did it on Reddit which can be found on this link   and the result was AGAIN RAVENCLAW!  In the future, maybe at this time of year in the next year, I will redo the test, to be sure what house will be.  This video  helped me to understand better what a Ravenclaw student r...

I started this blog to try to write in English, and it has been so difficult, not only the write but to think about how to write. I don't know if is because I don't usually write in English every day, but take so much time to explain things, to feel that it is a little bit comprehensible.  I really want to improve these skills, but I really don't know how. So, I asked Chat GPT, and it responded that the best way is to read in English and try to write.  The feeling that I have when I write and read in English is that it takes so much time, is that I am a turtle, the slowest turtle that exists in the sand (just because turtles are too fast in water) that ever lived. I think this is because I compare my productivity in reading and writing in Portuguese, which is my native language, and it is so different! It makes me feel frustrated and sometimes demotivated. I know that I need to get comfortable and gain experience with it, to get better in these skills and someda...

  When I was 12 years old, I asked for a Guitar as a birthday present, and my parents gave it to me. Then I started to do classes for 1 or 2 years, and when I was 14 years old I stopped the classes and never returned to do it again.  Why I am saying this? To be clear, I stopped the classes because I was embarrassed to be heard by someone, I always had the sensation that I needed something perfect to deliver, if it was not perfect I didn't want anybody to hear it.  I was obviously frustrated because my guitar didn't sound harmonious, now I know that it will sound horrible at first because I am learning! But just because I know that I am learning it doesn't make it easier to accept that fact and it keeps being frustrating. Nowadays I still being embarrassed to be heard and to make some mistakes. So, in the past, this sensation limited me, because I didn't practice at home to my guitar sound better! I never felt that I learned it. For changed my belief that I don't kno...

I thought I needed a nice photo to show the little bear, but the weather where I live is not good now and there is no natural light at the moment. So, I tried to do some photo editing in the Inshot Android app, and the picture with the yellow background was the result of this test using the app. It was really fast to edit and easy, I had a little fun too. I don't think it is so bad but it is not what I had in mind, I want to learn more about photography not so much in editions. However, I was surprised by the result and the facility to do it using the cellphone without long editions, etc.  Talking about the project now, it is an Amigurumi Bear made using the knitting technique. This little bear hasn't a name yet, but I am thinking of a good name related to coding... Maybe Code? I don't know yet. He was made to be my emotional support during the new phase of my life (in the future I will write about it).  Why I chose a knitting bear pattern and not a crochet pattern? Because...
