Recuerdo todavía aquellas colas enormes para comprar "un producto por persona" donde comprar un azúcar en el mercado era una experiencia temerosa y luego risible, donde el "bachaquero" te entregaba "ese kilo de azúcar" como si fuera droga, y si la policía te veía comprando de esa manera te metían un susto. También recuerdo de mujeres peleando en colas por un puesto o porque "se coleaban". Las madres se las ingeniaban para que la yuca y la sardina tuvieran un sabor distinto porque era la comida de casi todos los días con suerte. Aún recuerdo que para regalar una torta, hice una cola de dos horas para comprar la mantequilla, una cola de una hora para comprar la harina de trigo, la gallina era la de los huevos de oro al parecer por el alto costo de los huevos, pero al final cuando la torta estaba hecha me sentí tan satisfecho que las horas que pase haciendo colas tuvieron su recompensa. Luego se sumó el problema del efectivo. De Pronto apareció la comida poco a poco pero muy costosa, luego las colas fueron desapareciendo pero los bolsillos no daban, y aun esta esa lucha entre salarios y altos precios.
Recuerdo un amigo que admiro muchísimo, una persona trabajadora, estudioso, de verdad que lo admiro mucho, un día me dijo que no podía más con su situación que no aguantaba ver a su mama pasando necesidad y el dinero que ganaba no le alcanzaba, que le habían ofrecido vender drogas y a veces lo veía como una opción, wao! No esperaba esas palabras de el! Pero entendí que la situación nos lleva a pensar en formas "de resolver" aunque estas no sean buenas... Luego de un tiempo me dijo que estaba fuera del país, actualmente vive en Chile y le va bien gracias a Dios, ayuda a su mamá y está tranquilo allá. Tengo a otro pana que, económicamente su situación no fue tan crítica como la del otro pana, pero la vida y el covid le hicieron una mala jugada, el emigro a Chile también, gana lo necesario para él y ayudar a su mamá, pero hace cinco meses su mamá murió de covid, lo desgarrador de no poder estar con su mamá en ese momento me entristeció mucho, yo hablaba con la señora y ella estaba contenta por ver a su hijo bien pero triste de tenerlo lejos, luego de la muerte de su madre wao! a él le ha tocado luchar con ganas fuera de su país, nunca ha perdido su buen humor con sus publicaciones por las redes, pero siempre entre estas salen publicaciones que demuestran que la tristeza está allí.
Venezuela y sus jóvenes somos buenos para la lucha y no sabemos rendirnos, mujeres, hombres, todos sabemos que "la vaina esta dura" pero que no hay nada más fuerte que el amor de un venezolano por su familia y su país, se los dice un abogado que se dedica a vender dulces mientras va a tribunales, amigo de profesionales que tienen como tres trabajos.
A veces da impotencia no lograr metas que a cierta edad deberíamos haber logrado, pero hay que seguir luchando, para lograr nuestros sueños solo se necesita de tener la convicción de poder llegar a ellos. Nadie dijo que es fácil, para nada fácil pero las cosas grandes de la vida requieren un grado de sacrificio y perseverancia grande.
I still remember those huge queues to buy "one product per person" where buying sugar in the market was a fearful and then laughable experience, where the "bachaquero" handed you "that kilo of sugar" as if it were a drug, and if the police I saw you buying that way, they scared you. I also remember women fighting in queues for a position or because "they were hanging out." The mothers managed to make the cassava and the sardine have a different flavor because it was the food of almost every day with luck. I still remember that to give a cake, I queued for two hours to buy butter, a queue for one hour to buy wheat flour, the hen was the one with the golden eggs apparently because of the high cost of eggs, but in the end when the cake was done I felt so satisfied that the hours I spent queuing paid off. Then there was the problem of cash. Suddenly the food appeared little by little but very expensive, then the queues disappeared but the pockets did not give, and there is still that fight between salaries and high prices.
I remember a friend that I greatly admire, a hard-working, studious person, I really admire him a lot, one day he told me that he couldn't handle his situation anymore, that he couldn't bear to see his mother in need and the money he earned was not enough, that he had been offered to sell drugs and sometimes he saw it as an option, wow! I didn't expect those words from him! But I understood that the situation leads us to think of ways "to solve" even if they are not good... After a while he told me that he was out of the country, he currently lives in Chile and he is doing well thank God, he helps his mom and it's quiet there. I have another friend who, financially, his situation was not as critical as that of the other friend, but life and covid played a trick on him, he emigrated to Chile too, he earns what is necessary for him and helps his mother, but he does five months his mother died of covid, the heartbreaking of not being able to be with his mother at that time made me very sad, I spoke with the lady and she was happy to see her son well but sad to have him far away, after the death of his mother wow! He has had to fight with enthusiasm outside his country, he has never lost his good humor with his publications on the networks, but always among these there are publications that show that sadness is there.
Venezuela and its young people are good for the fight and we don't know how to give up, women, men, we all know that "the sheath is hard" but that there is nothing stronger than the love of a Venezuelan for his family and his country, he tells them a lawyer who sells sweets while going to court, a friend of professionals who have three jobs.
Sometimes it gives powerlessness not to achieve goals that at a certain age we should have achieved, but we have to keep fighting, to achieve our dreams you just need to have the conviction of being able to reach them. No one said it's easy, not easy at all, but the great things in life require a great degree of sacrifice and perseverance.
