A family photograph




This photo was taken one year and half ago. It was my first travel abroad, I earnt an international scholarship to Spain in 2015, and the travel was set for January 21th, 2016. We were in the International Airport. It was my first time, and, if I have to be honest, I cried a lot saying goodbye for such long time (6 months, wich, now in retrospective, doesn't seem that much) and being afraid that an accident might happen in the flight and I end up dying in the middle of the sea.

From left to right, my grandma is the little old lady. I'm in the middle, the tallest one in the family. Then, there's my little sister, who's being held by the shoulders by my mother, the last one. This is actually one of the few photos we have, the four of us together. We don't take that much pictures, as groups, if I'm honest. It's probably in this situations, where something important happen, that we dare to took a photography. Realizing this. I guess I will talk to this with them, because it's not possible that it's been ONE YEAR AND HALF and we don't have another photo together.

Now, I have to declare that there is actually a male member in our little family, my sister's father who's my step father, but due to work situations (plus that he don't like Santiago at all) he stayed in our town, far away (ok, is not that much. Only three hours from Santiago. But still, three hours are something) and wasn't able to accompany us in this farewell.


This is my, pretty much matriarcal, family heart.

A City You Would Like To Visit - Moscow

Image
One of the cities I certainly want to get to know is Moscow. Even when I’m highly eager to get to travel to Japan and live there for a couple months, I’m not interested to live in Russia, so if would go, I'll just go to know the places and the architecture. One thing that I learned after my scholarship abroad in Spain was to get lost in the city and prove all the meals you can, because, if you’re not gonna return soon to the city, or you’re planning to visit the city just once in your life, you have to live all the experiences you can while you’re there; that’s why most of the trips are really exhausting, but at the same time fulfilling to the soul. Of course, that means I have to earn a lot of money to get there and prove/taste all the things I can haha. But also, I like to draw some special scenarios I see. I’m practicing my watercolors skills to improve and actually it could take less time than I can right now to do a drawing of a building, an open space, a sunset that it...

A friend

Image
To talk about lasting friendship at our age is kind of hard to think for me right now. We are young, and most of my life I’ve lived far away from my friend’s houses, so it was hard to spend meaningful time with them out of high school. Now that I moved to the capital, it’s the inverse; I spend more time with friends, but less time with family. Ah, a never ending dilemma. So, if I’m going to talk about a friend I would like to talk about Vania. We’ve known each other since we were 14 years old (that’s about 8 years of friendship) and we have stayed in each other houses in different situations. For me, someone whose house has always been in other location, having someone who went to visit me and my family was very touching. We became friends, if I’m not wrong, because we used to take the bus together and we sit next to each other the first day of school, and she was new in the classroom.  Our tastes vary a lot from back then, but we’ve managed to spend time watching each ot...
