The story of my travestism, of my family, of my sadness in childhood, of all that premature sadness that was my family, my dad's alcoholism, my mom's shortcomings. The moves that separated me forever from friends, from the atmosphere of my rooms, from the habit of the courtyards, from the safety of a hiding place. I write to be able to say the images that filled my childhood.
