Once upon a time a guy who everyone considered as a crazy person, for the simple reason that he was “weird”, just because he wasn’t as the “normal people are”. People used to say that he wasn’t normal because of the way he thinks, dresses and acts, but there are no other reasons to tell that he wasn’t the same as others.

He used to be surrounded by a closed mind society (that could be the reason why they thought he was queer) because of their mindset boundaries, thinking inside of the box and never breaking the rules or thinking out of the box.

His name, again is secret, but his stories aren’t, they are something that have to be told, otherwise the other hidden figures are going to keep their brightness just hidden because of being judged. He used to do stuffs just like bohemian people do, drinking a cuppa brew every single day, listening to jazz music and some podcasts about poetry, reading a book or simply, spending a day doing some meditation. He is a musician as well, so He enjoyed making music even with wooden table, or whistling jazzy melodies that came from his mind, saying that he was always off, his mind was way gone out from the sounds of the society. He was full of amazing ideas, but never got the money to do them, he advised so many people on how to make their business more creative and innovative, and he had that touch for that, everything he advised, was a 100% successful.

Speaking about music, he was so talented since he was a child, never studied music, everything was so natural on him, that he seems to be unnatural, like someone from another planet, in fact he catalogued himself as an alien. He could draw, dance, write, make music in a way no one could do, with so much passion, It had nothing to do with the fact that he suffered of synesthesia, It was just something inside of him that could do whatever he wanted to.

His mother language was spanish, but he could speak english sincehe was a child just like a native, then he got the opportunity to learn mandarin in China, and he decided that we would take it. He learnt so fast that he could communicate with local people in China in such a perfect mandarin skill and pronunciation that some people couldn’t believe he was a foreigner. At the time, he met two Italian girls that became friends so easy, and he learnt Italian just listening to them. When they moved to another city, he started to practice in an Italian restaurant which the owners were from Rome, and he could do it as he from Italy, It was unbelievable, of course he struggled at the beginning but then, his Italian skills started to be so flawless that he could say that It was his 4th language to speak.

Nowadays he is a good language teacher, and engaged to a Canadian, and he can get few things in french.

That’s the good thing of being crazy, he was never afraid of what people would say about him, and he always pushed himself to be better everyday.
