I have to take long strides when I walk back from downtown and along the avenue in my town—long strides that help me walk faster, long strides that help me focus on something, long strides that mask these bitter moments.
Long strides that help me get home—one long stride at a time—and a vision of everything I need to keep going.
"Amid all the negative things happening around me, it's good to take a moment to breathe, look up at the sky, and give thanks."
I'd like to think that way...
...but i can't.
Good morning, and happy Friday! July 10, to everyone who is part of this annoying community.
I feel the need to write about something that’s actually bothering me right now.
If anyone who’s read my posts before is reading this, they’ll see how ordinary and common situations in my daily life can become annoying, frustrating, and uncomfortable.
One of the worst things bothering me right now is this economic instability, along with the repairs I need to make to my home. We’ve sealed part of the corrugated metal roofing—it doesn’t move anymore—and we’ve replaced two panels, so it no longer leaks when it rains. However, the main concrete beam and the upper steel beam both need to be replaced, but because of the heavy rains, I haven’t had the courage to climb up there and take the roof apart, since that’s something I have to do before I can move on to the concrete work.
I’m very grateful to the whole team for the help they’ve given me. Let’s hope today is the last day of fundraising so I can get to work on this.
I can invite you to check out various posts I’ve made this week, and I can also share some YouTube links here with the latest news on the situation affecting the country, but I’ll give you a brief summary and explain a few points instead.
In the wake of the earthquake tragedy, there have been numerous problems that defy common sense, and one of the most terrifying and concerning situations involves the Venezuelan government, the armed forces, and the national police. Fifteen days after the tragedy, they never once deployed rescue operations to help survivors, nor did they carry out rescue operations to facilitate the recovery of bodies; on the contrary, the mobilization that took place was aimed at cracking down on citizens and preventing foreigners from entering to help—as in the case of Spanish rescue workers who were not allowed to pass through the airport—and there have been hundreds, even thousands, of similar incidents involving police abuse, discrimination, and a lack of assistance.
Btw this beautyfull sky is in Punta De Mata and pictures was taken on my way home, with my phone.
