Part 1
Hello, how are you? it's me again, and I come to tell you about an experience that has been very hard for me ... which is to have seen my country decay in such a horrible way, to see an endless war between Venezuelan brothers, to see so much hate, so much corruption .
I know that many of you have heard about the horrible situation that my beautiful country is facing today, but perhaps you have not heard (or read in this case) from a Venezuelan who is living at this moment in his country; so I come to tell you what I live every day here in Venezuela without hiding anything.
Start:
My parents are fortunately professionals. My mom has a degree in Public Accounting, and my dad is a Systems Engineer ... It's not because they're my parents but they're really the best. They have worked hard since they were very young as they have no idea ... And every day I must listen to my mother wondering aloud "What will we eat? There is no money" since the salary is not enough for anything, nor being professional They recognize your work as it is.
Thanks to God, the day has not come when I have nothing to eat, there are harder days than others, maybe I do not have 3 meals at some, but at least I have something to support myself ... And yet the great worry that we will eat the next day. Even so, I consider myself lucky because I have seen decent people eat from the garbage daily ... They wait for the food places to close and take out the garbage so they can look for the leftovers of the day in the bags.
fair? No, it is not.
Many will wonder that as is possible if the thing is so bad that I have a cell phone, or have clothes ... Well, my parents tripled their work so they could give me what I need ... And since the prices are relative, they raise all the days, when this is the opportunity you have to hurry to buy things at the moment, what I have right now is because at that moment it was possible; but at this moment I could never buy a new cell phone, or shoes, or clothes, at this moment the priority is only food and hygiene items ... which are not even available, and those that are obtained are from a very poor quality and extremely expensive.
Now let's talk a little about transportation ...
In the area where I live, unfortunately the buses do not arrive, so my mom in her car that I bought in 2009 (and I say it so that they understand that nowadays I could never have bought a car here) which is in very bad condition should take me to the bus stop and then go to save the car as it runs the risk of shutting down at any time and leave it broken, has tried to fix your car a thousand times but here the mechanics are usually just thieves who do bad work and steal the car parts; in short ... They leave everything worse than it was.
But well ... When I get to the bus stop, I have to wait sometimes up to an hour or more for the bus, since many are broken, without rubbers, and with bad parts which are not obtained either and the day they get (like everything) are uncompromising ... So I have to wait more than an hour for the bus.
Being on the street is a constant concern, all as much as women and men suffer assaults, kidnappings ... It is necessary to go out on the street without anything of value over that to have a chain of silver can make you something very bad. And those who do the wrong act can be both cruel criminals who do it for the sick, as it can even be people who simply need to steal in order to eat ... Yes, it is totally sad.
It is not impossible to walk on the street, but it really is a matter of taking care of yourself, being alert, and more than anything: luck.
Many people believe that the homeless people they see in their country are worrying, I have seen programs where there are people who are homeless but at least sleep in tents. Here they sleep on the floor, they get naked, they often do sexual acts in public places, people with mental illnesses that do not specify well what illness they have but that to many at first seems to be schizophrenia since they speak they talk alone they hurt themselves and they hurt the others ... And the authorities leave them in the streets like that, and that's how it has been for years, the same indigent sick people I've seen them in the streets for many years, they destroy cars, they hit people ... And they do not even do anything about it.
But what can be expected from this government?
