You Get So Alone at Times

It can be better regret doing something than dying with the desire

Leonardo Kullmann Barcelos

regret is mostly caused by not having done anything

It is not that bad. I did got a little lost sometimes without understanding what this crazy old man want to say in his phrases. The book seems to me like him “poemizing” his life but cutting the romanticism off. 

By this point, I mean it is honest, cruel and brutal as itself says, which is somewhat good as it is also bad. He’s an drunkass man that lived in so many terrible conditions, past half of his life betting on horses and wrote all his experience down in those pages.

I actually do recommend it but watch out, women, because he can be a bit misogynist.
