Today I was sitting by a couple of people, they were talking about Brazilian politics and our Independence Day of this year. I was there, in silence, not only because I am overloaded of that topic but specially because my mind was in a different kind of code. It was in English. Of course, I understood what they were saying, however I felt weird and unable to reply them. Then, something awkward happened, for a moment, it was like everybody was mumbling. Goodness, it was just for seconds, but terrifying. They were speaking in Portuguese, I knew it, but I could not understand what they were saying. My mind was like a radio with no signal, you know? Just white noise and no comprehension, until I close and reopen my eyes and read something in Portuguese somewhere.

Have it ever happened to you in some way? What do you think it might be? I do not want to experience it again.
