Dark place


Hi everyone, I'm Lisbet, and today I'll be talking about one of the topics of this week's @weekendengagement.
I won't lie; several times I have looked at my surroundings and thought, "God, get me out of here," and I have my reasons to think like that. I am from Cuba, specifically from a small town in the countryside of the city of Santiago de Cuba named Contramaestre. I liked it there, but I always dreamed (and I still do) about living somewhere else, some place brighter, bigger, and full of color and culture. When I was in college, I met the love of my life, @alto96, and we got married after I graduated.

Nowadays, I live in the city of Santiago de Cuba, and although it is a beautiful city full of culture, colors, and music, I don't live in the center of the city. I live in the part of the city that we call the Districts, a part of this city that nobody find specifically 'amusing'. It is not the ugliest place in the world, but it has this kind of 'bad vibe,' is a place where crimes and vandalism are committed, and even though it is not quite usual, it is still a bad area to live. Of course, not all people are like that; you can find intellectuals, doctors, professors, and all types of people. However, the surroundings are depressing, and there are mountains of garbage and very unpleasant places. That is why I want to move out, but that will take some time. In the meantime, I try to enjoy every little thing in my life.

Hello,

I know how you feel because I live in a very far place to the city's best part too. In here, everything is colourful and peaceful but it is not giving the things I want to enjoy about this city as well. So I can understand your frustration and I hope soon you will do the things you want to do. Don't stop dreaming but at the same time, like you said, don't forget to enjoy the moment.

Have a nice one,
@bemier

I hope you can soon go somewhere else where you'll truly be happy.
The reality surrounding us is sad...
In the meantime, try to smile and enjoy the little moments with your husband, breaking the routine as much as possible!
