March Madness

The first week of March 2019, I lived one of the craziest experiences of my life, when the electrical system collapsed in my country, an unprecedented catastrophe took the entire population off guard, no one in their right mind would think that something like this would happen.

I found out about the news that was happening through the neighbors or a relative, the uncertainties of those days caused me a lot of anguish and anxiety, recharging the cell phone was quite a feat, fortunately, there was a sector of the city where it is located the hospital where power was quickly restored, and a friend lives right in that area.

Thanks to the fact that she lives in that place, I was able to protect the food that needed refrigeration, in addition to recharging my mobile, which allowed me to communicate with my brothers from time to time since the phone was out of service due to a breakdown that had been going on for months not repaired by the phone company.

I had never longed for a night to end as in those days, I wanted the madness to end once and for all, I longed to know what would happen next, but that was far from happening, so I learned to deal with reality because I was not in control about the events that were happening around me.

The solidarity that existed between us served as a support and allowed us to cope with the chaos in which we found ourselves submerged, since not only did we not have electricity, but we also lacked drinking water, complicating the whole panorama, for luck at home I always have enough reserve, with it, I was able to assist those neighbors who had absolutely nothing of the vital liquid.

But this was not the only crazy March where I would experience the feeling of restlessness and lack of control because in 2020 the challenge would be greater.
