It all started from the day I realized that I could not leave the country ....! Thanks to the political / economic situation that is happening in Venezuela, I was obliged to cancel my dreams and aspirations, and I began to do the procedures to emigrate to another country, thinking that only in this way would I be able to be happy and achieve myself as a person, but I did not know what I was getting into.
Doing paperwork in Venezuela to Emigrate and have everything legal, is a verdict literally. Since you start asking for advice until you get the apostille appointment, the bureaucracy is taking over all of Venezuela, for everything it is money, paperwork, papers ... In Venezuela you should create a ministry in every city in the country where all those procedures, which also sell stamps of all kinds, and do not forget the photocopiers; Because ladilla that documentary, for everything there is a list of requirements and always on the day of the appointment something you lack.
Well, anyway. I started that odyssey, I was determined to go and take all my papers with me. But not only did I have to deal with an endless number of civil servants, if not with the Venezuelan economy, prices rose every week and the value of Bolivar fell, until it reached the point that all the money I had collected to emigrate was not enough for me. absolutely nothing. If I got a dollar seller at a good price, when I got the money, I could not get enough ... I started to feel a pressure in my head that was unbearable. I managed to give everything, even the way to walk, everything, but I no longer had money for a pair of shoes. Try desperately to get some job or source of income, and nothing. The words I heard most in those days were "I do not have", "There is not". Not know what to do. I felt trapped, wasted, felt the need for help or some advice, but I did not get anyone, my parents do not support me morally or monetarily, they were raised in a simplistic way, there is no more.
I fell into depression, I no longer saw the sense to get out of bed, every day that passed for me was a disappointment more, and this only managed to make me feel like a failure, I did not even want to watch videos or movies, nothing, because always I ended up wondering, Why did they do their dreams and I did not? , and since I did not have someone at my side to give me an example of how to fight in life, I ended my days with my soul destroyed.
When did all this depression end? For everything that begins has an end, as the saying goes, there is no storm that lasts 1000 years nor body that resists it, one day I wake up and I said, "Vast to cry" If fate and circumstances of life I am not allowed to emigrate and to remake my life in another country, Well that fucking Life, I am going to do everything possible to realize myself in this Country, I will be Brave and I will seek the form.
And so I began my process of being happy under this storm.
I have many dreams and aspirations, among those things:
• Finish the Electrical Engineering.
• Learn to play the Viola like a pro.
• Be a haute couture model and catwalk.
• Living independently.
• Travel around the world and learn about different cultures.
Despite the bad news and finding more closed doors that open, I will continue fighting, I have been looking for apartment for more than 3 months alone, and I only get bad news, that also beats emotionally, but I keep going, I fall and I get up, But I thank life for having met three people with the aspirations and desire to live that I, with them in achieved more than a passing friendship, eh got family, and that is gratifying.
It is very hard for a young person to become independent in Venezuela, and have aspirations rather than just settle for the options given by the current government.
When I was 15, I would say to myself that having 22 would already have a formalized race, a good job and a car, I would be happy, but I'm already 23 and neither, and not because I have not tried, Here I follow and I am convinced that I will achieve my dreams. A good friend told me one day, "Time is an Illusion" I do not remember where I sacked it, that the most important thing is to believe in our abilities.
I will continue to fight, I will not give up...!
