Summary
The article is a personal opinion piece by Giovana Madalosso reflecting on feeling out of place in her own family. She describes growing up with parents who had different social aspirations for her (marriage, etiquette) while she was politically active, rebellious, and focused on writing. The piece touches on finding one's true "pack" (matilha) through shared interests, using college as an example of a place where like-minded people naturally come together.
