Not So Different

Tolerance Watercolor style

Diego, a young boy from São Paulo, faces the challenge of adjusting to his parents' separation. Feeling insecure, he fears losing the love of his family. Through a series of obstacles, Diego learns about tolerance and the enduring bond of family.

Diego was a young boy living in the bustling city of São Paulo. He loved his parents dearly and feared the day they might separate. One sunny morning, his parents sat him down at the kitchen table. They explained that they were going to live in different houses. Diego felt his heart sink as he worried, " - What if they don't love me as much anymore?" His mind raced with fear and confusion.

As Diego walked to school, he couldn't shake the feeling of worry. All he wanted was for things to stay the same. At school, he watched his friends play happily, but he couldn't join in. " - Why won't you play with us, Diego?" his friend asked. Diego shrugged, unsure of how to explain his heavy heart. His insecurity grew as he felt more and more alone.

Every day, Diego faced new challenges. His mom and dad took turns picking him up from school, but it felt strange. " - I miss when we all came together," he confessed to his dad one evening. He struggled with the changes, like having two rooms and different routines. It was hard to find comfort when everything seemed different. The obstacles seemed to pile up, making him feel more lost.

One evening, Diego sat alone in his room, surrounded by his toys. He felt like giving up on ever feeling happy again. " - Maybe life will never be the same," he thought sadly. Just then, his cousin Raquel called him on a video chat. " - Hey, Diego! I miss you! Want to play online together?" she asked. Her cheerful voice and bright smile gave Diego a glimmer of hope.

Raquel shared how she felt when her parents separated, too. " - It's okay to be sad," she said, " - but remember, our family's love is still strong!" Her words made Diego think about how much love he still had. Suddenly, he realized he could still have fun with both parents and connect with others. Diego felt a new sense of determination to find happiness again.

Embracing the change, Diego started to see the bright side of his new life. He enjoyed special moments with each parent and shared stories with Raquel. " - I think I can do this," he said confidently. Diego learned that love doesn't disappear, it just grows in different ways. With a heart full of courage, he found joy in his new family dynamics.
