Why do I write in English?

I was born in the USA, so I've been expressing myself in English my entire life, and naturally, some of these feelings translate into writing. I have a few original texts written in English, and I also have texts originally written in Portuguese and translated into English for my English-speaking readers to get to know my work.

A LOVE LETTER TO VALPARAÍSO
