  • This is probably the hardest video I've had to make.

  • But also the one I've been wanting to make for the longest time.

  • Communicating with others in a language that is not my own

  • has been my biggest struggle and insecurity.

  • Sometime it's a hurdle that doesn't look that scary.

  • I can walk around it and be fine.

  • But other times it gets overwhelmingly big and makes me feel paralyzed.

  • Speaking with people and being understood is something we take for granted.

  • It's such a simple thing

  • Words coming out of your mouth, your thoughts taking shape

  • giving people a look into who you are,

  • what you think,

  • how you feel.

  • But what happens when those words aren't there?

  • When you reach and try to detangle the mess that is in your head?

  • And you're looking for words to tell others how you feel, but you can't find them...

  • Your brain is bubbling with thoughts and ideas but somehow you fall short of putting them into words.

  • You question why you're even doing it in the first place.

  • I have no ties to the English language.

  • I'm reaching for something that I'm creating myself and trying to hold it in place.

  • I was born in Portugal.

  • All of my family is Portuguese.

  • I spent 20 years of my life figuring out who I am and creating myself in Portuguese.

  • It's tricky to all of a sudden want that feeling in a different language.

  • I feel at a disadvantage.

  • Like others are way ahead of me and I'm just trying to catch up.

  • I like English.

  • I like how you can say things a million different ways.

  • I like how you can play with words and create pretty images in your head.

  • But sometimes I can't help but feel out of place when people around me are deep into conversations.

  • I feel like I'm watching things through a lens.

  • And when I say something it's like the words somehow don't fit me.

  • I'm not worthy of them.

  • They're borrowed.

  • I often find myself contemplating...

  • Staring at people and soaking in all they're saying.

  • It all still feels like a novelty to me.

  • I feel excited when I hear something I have never heard before.

  • And I make notes of funny words and sayings I hear here and there.

  • As much as I might feel like I'm lacking the tools to be me in English sometimes.

  • I enjoy that I get to build new pieces of me with it.

  • I may not have found my voice in English yet

  • but maybe that's because I've yet to find my voice, regardless of what language I'm speaking in.

  • And I look around and see friends who were built from

  • one, two, three different languages even.

  • And I might not be my full "me" in English yet.

  • But it's thanks to that "flawed me" that I can connect.

  • And be inspired by some of the greatest people I've met.

  • I would love to hear you thoughts in the comments below.

This is probably the hardest video I've had to make.
