This is some 1l liked VERY MUCH when I was a young teenager in Barretos, São Paulo, Brazil.
His family seemed to run everything
"Seemed."
Exactly. I wanted to put myself in the middle of everything I could and sometimes André was the 1 in charge and he would let me in to a degree but he certainly kept his distance. He even had my favorite car which I never managed to acquire myself - a Volkswagen Bug. I got to be a passenger in his once or twice.
"I wish we could have really been friends. There are many endless games wherever you go. It is impossible to be a friend to you because of the vultures who surround you."
This is know.
André is letting me know he is a resister. Many in his family are resisters but not all and they are a problem.
This civil war is everywhere.
André also tells me every 1 is obsessed with this in Barretos and elsewhere.
