i'm torn between moving to the US and staying in Brazil & pursuing acting here.

this country wasn't made for people, but i KNOW it. if, say, i write a short story about brazillian youths, i have an idea of what forces are present, what weighs on the characters & their surroundings.

american culture is so dense, and with so many foreign (quite literally) elements, that trying to understand it well enough to be a writer there seems futile. it also doesn't help that everything in the US seems to devolve into discussions about politics and race.
