Growing up on gruesome fairytales and Marvel comics; nerdy nerd, before it was a thing or badge of honor, dreaming of being faster, stronger, enjoying brooding super heroes breaking and burning shit. So many alter egos to pick from and yet, still could not pick a code-name. Reading the feelings away… Listening to another nerdy nerd’s warning: “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I am angry…”. Before BOOM, Dr. Bruce Banner exploded into the uncontrollable Hulk until it is not… Incredible…. Banner has a secret.
Coming from a land of disasters, a tiny speck surrounded by water where the soul can be wider than the ocean, but the mind smaller than a grain of salt. This is a land of mesmerizing landscapes and beautiful women. A society in which your skin may not be light enough, not dark enough for you to be considered remotely fine-looking. At one time or another, you may be cute, but barely. You can’t be that lucky, can you? Always coming up short, where to belong? Elusive beauty…
Hair not long enough, not smooth enough
Too dark, not dark enough.
Too much and no enough…
