Do you know, WHO you are? Do you know it REALLY? I used to have those parameters VERY well defined… And they were different in different “lives”.
I was once Mr. Professional with a career oriented mind… a bit of a workaholic if you ask me… That was all I always had in my mind… and in every situation there was an opportunity… It had to be considering the clients I looked after… Then one day (after 3 years neglecting my own life) I was in a hospital bed and a doctor told me either I change my life stile dramatically or I would most definitely not be around for too long…
So I changed it… Took a sabbatical, bought tickets and came to the UK… I was planning to study, and party lots… I did no studying at all… but I did party… and met the person that would become my wife one day… We got married and moved back to Brazil…
The Party Lifestyle was still there… I had plans… We were even going to open a beach bar in a GORGEOUS sandy beach clear water etc… But it wasn’t to be… The Daddy Era was to begin…
We moved back to the UK and being a daddy defined me… And for a while that was enough for me… But I needed more…
I became a photographer, a designer, a writer (I even had a magazine column for a while… and a wrote for a couple of newspapers and websites) and a Blogger… I a going through a divorce and have been in and out of relationships. I have explored dorment sides of me in the meantime… Blogging was the one constant I had for a little over 8 years and for a while I thought it defined me… Took me a while to realise that who I am defines what I blog about and not the contrary.
I guess it will still be a while until I end this identity crisis… But again… this is life right? Change is the only thing we can actually count with… And with all the change constantly happening in my life I think I have learned a lot more about myself then when I “KNEW who I was”.
And for now, I am happy to say “Hi there! I am Yuri (AKA Urbanvox)”
Who are you?????
