Day 12 of this one with my parents.
Of all the many things I have to be grateful for, my parents are the most valuable. They are the single thing that instantly makes me feel incredibly fortunate and blessed. Because I've come to know that they are unfortunately rare. .
They have always been there for me, and I Know that as long as they live they'll always be. I just want them to live long enough for me to give back all the joy and love they've given me throughout all my life.
They were highschool sweethearts and have been married for 34 years now, still in love. They've taught me so much about how love looks like. All the sacrifice, all the happiness. And have made me inmune to the cynicism my generation has towards marriage and true love and romance.
My mom says my dad conquered her with his dancing skills, and dance they do. They are very good at it and to this day can dance away till morning if you give them the occasion and good music. .
I can't verbalize all that I feel about them, all I'm grateful for, all I see in them. Hopefully this illustration can... well Illustrate some of it.
My mom taught me to be me, to feel proud of my weirdness, to care for other people, to fight for what I believe in and to question authority. My dad showed me I was worth an uncountable amount of diamonds.
Something curious happens when you meet your parents as an adult. You realize they make a lot of mistakes, they don't know all the answers, they don't necessarily do what they taught you to do, they need help like you do and they aren't invincible. You realize they are human. And at least in my case I love them more deeply, differently, for it, cause I realized that despite their flaws and insecurities they did their best to raise me up, they gave their best to me and my brothers. They packed all the good things within them and gave it to us while trying to keep the bad things at bay. And that's harder than being perfect.
Love you 3000

Day 10 from
I'm a few days behind cause well.. work. But here is day 10 with a fried Catalana with tostones, arepas and avocado slices. A very typical meal on Venezuela's coastal towns and one of my favorite meals ever. Specially cause you usually get to eat it right in front of the sea with sand between your toes and the waves occasionally caressing your feet. It's absolute bliss and I hope all of you get to experience that level of simple pleasure at least once in your life. .

Day 6 of
I already posted the beach. But bear with me, I lived near the sea, I grew up on a beach, I love it to bits. .
This is a Peñero, a traditional fishermen's boat. Very similar types of boats can be found all over latin america and even the Philippines.

Day 5 from with a mixologist friend from .
Him and his family are friends of mine since I was a kid. And from some years now he's been building his own company of service and capacitation on cocktail making. Always with a commitment to excellence and involving traditional, unique and incredible ingredients from Venezuela.
I made their logo and is one of the works I'm proudest and most grateful for, because I truly love that company and what they do. And working together with them for as little as I did let me participate in events with many entrepreneurs and get infected by Alberto's and Ella's amazing positivity.
Through his work he always promotes the work of many other national entrepreneurs on the foods and drinks industry that are doing their best to fight for the country in their unique way, through the creation and promotion of the excellent national products, namely the coffee, rum, cocoa, chocolate and more recently cocuy, both nationally and internationally. .
We need more people like these and less politicians. .
Thanks for keeping on believing

Day 4 of this time with the backyard view of my home back in Venezuela. .
I lived in an amazing place with houses on stilts above the water. With the smell of the sea always present. We had white cranes and pelicans hanging out in the water at the back, and fishing there even. .
The annoying part is that narcos and the "new rich" created by the sacking of the country started moving there and became an eyesore constantly showing of their bad money shamelessly, as if real life was a bizarre Trap music video. While less than a mile away you'll see kids scrambling for food in the supermarket's garbage. It made me hate humanity a little bit. Because these guys came into power talking about how money was bad and we should strive for equality, and here, twenty years later, you'll see them all fat, with designer clothes and luxury yachts making three days long parties with bbqs and expensive liquor while the poorest in my country starved to death, ate garbage and died from diarrhea because of polluted water. .
I wanted to be a sort of robin hood. I wanted to at least vandalize their stuff to try and do something with all that wrath and all the hate. But it'll ultimately be useless. Or perhaps I told that to myself cause I was too coward to do something like that, it seemed petty anyways. God says I should love them, I really try, it seems a more healthy thing to do. I really try, everyday. I try to make sense of it, most of all. .

Day 2 of comes with Don Furgencio 2.0 my tabby rescued cat. Named after the late Don Furgencio cause they look alike and have a similar temperament (that's the temperament of a ragdoll) 🐱
We say that Furgencio adopted himself cause he started living in our porch before we pet or feed him. Then we started feeding him, then had him neutered, then he became my parent's furry spoiled grandson.
This gray tabbies seem to have a tendency of showing up soon before I leave home.

Starting the !!! .
I don't usually draw things about myself (cause I don't think anybody cares about that 🤣) but Right now I'll like to take the challenge of expressing these past crazy months of my life with pictures and words. .
It's been around five months since I've left Venezuela. When I left I sincerely wasn't planning on leaving for more than three months to help my grandma during her recovery. But I guess that's the way life is sometimes. At least there didn't had to be teary eyed goodbyes since I was supposed to come back relatively soon. That's good, I didn't had the chance to think too much about it, thinking too much is never good. .
I miss my bicycle and my trips to the beach, and the sea. I miss the sea and the weather a lot. And the sun. And a whole lot of things left undone and a whole lot of people and places and things. I rather not think about it all cause it's no use and it gets me emotional. But I think it's healthy to try and pour ir out little by little.

We've been watching and I am a total fan so I decided to make some value studies. Here with mr on one of my favourite scenes
Have you seen the show? Why do we like gangsters when they are actually such terrible people?
People back then dressed so nice and there is no questioning that

Suena muy cursi, pero sí, es un nuevo comienzo
