Hi. Im Lee. Short for Leandro. Born in Brazil ages ago… haI grow up in a very conservative and religious family and in a country that did not think much different. The considered “right and wrong” was very clear at very early stage of our lives. My family always loved me and I always tried…
I still remember that day as if it were yesterday. The day I wanted to turn back time. The day I would have wanted to vanish. The day everything changed. It burned itself into my brain. We knew each other for quite some time and we felt so connected to each other. One day we…
