Even though I am a programmer and I read the Hacker News quite regularly, I only "met" Aaron Swartz after he passed away. I had not idea who he was until I read the news about him.
At first I wanted to read his writings to try to understand who he was. Then I wanted to know what were his last thoughts. Now I am basically enjoying all his contributions to people like me, seeking young people who care about society and technology.
I can't say I "get him". His message is there on his blog. All I know is that I have things to offer as well. That's he reason I am placing my thoughts on paper. In this case, its a digital paper.
Based on his writings alone, I see a lot of wisdom. The was very intelligent and used that. He learned that hard work combined with intelligence generate very interesting results.
Nobody knows what made him give up. I had my experience somewhat close to depression but I guess everyone's reality is a different one.We all know the world sucks sometimes but we find joy on our daily struggles.

In the coming posts I expect to share my experiences leaving my country, evaluating my choices that led me to leave Brazil and move to Australia. I also think about sharing my thoughts about computer science, programming, travel and amateur philosophy.
I will right on my own pace. However I want it to be fluent as I am slowly learning that steady wins the race.
