A Melancholic Monday in Venezuela [ENG/ESP]
At times like today I can't stop thinking about how vital yesterday was for all of us Venezuelans. I am in Puerto Ordaz Bolivar, Venezuela. I think I speak for many when I say that uncertainty, pain, sadness and not least, a certain strength that leads to a motivation that demands some kind of change/movement (not yet well channeled but with a clear goal; freedom) accompanies us. The night was still quite long and when the outcome of the moment was known. Midnight, dawn and sunrise, all present in those times.
Today's morning rose with a terrible loneliness that was evident in the streets of many cities thanks to the closing of stores, the absence of public transportation (even of the common civilian) and the small number of people around. As if everyone was united in the same feeling and unable to return to everyday life. Even the weather seems to have agreed because it was quite cloudy and with a drizzle that did not stop falling all day. So I decided to go for a walk and take some pictures. A record of the images of this day.
There were no children playing, nor people spending the afternoon on the benches, nor that joy that in spite of everything characterizes us. However, as the day went on, I could notice that despite the melancholy, the force I spoke about in the first paragraph was increasing and that it was manifested in many areas of my country. I do not have how to say if that is the rule (if it is "right or wrong"), but it is definitely something expected. It is a natural reaction of a cause. Decisions have been made. We can only wait, see how everything behaves these days and keep the faith that things can get better. For the moment, I leave you with this photograph. I hope my next publication will show another side of our reality. Thank you very much for stopping by.
En momentos cómo hoy no puedo dejar de pensar en lo vital que fue el día de ayer para todos los que somos venezolanos. Estoy en Puerto Ordaz Bolívar, Venezuela. Creo que hablo por muchos al decir que la incertidumbre, el dolor, la tristeza y no menos importante, cierta fuerza que conlleva a una motivación que exige algún tipo de cambio/movimiento (aún no bien encausado pero con una meta clara; libertad) nos acompaña. La noche fue bastante larga aún y cuando se conoció el desenlace del momento. Medianoche, madrugada y amanecer, todos presentes en esos tiempos.
La mañana de hoy se alzó con una terrible soledad que se evidenció en las calles de muchas ciudades gracias al cierro de comercios, la ausencia de transporte público (hasta del civil común) y la poca cantidad de personas que se encontraban alrededor. Cómo si todos se unieran en un mismo sentir y viéndose incapaces de volver a la cotidianidad. Incluso el clima parece haberse puesto de acuerdo pues estuvo bastante nublado y con una llovizna que no dejó de caer en todo el día. Es así cómo decidí salir a caminar y tomar algunas fotografías. Un registro de las imágenes de este día.
No hubo niños jugando, ni personas pasando la tarde en las bancas, ni esa alegría que a pesar de todo nos caracteriza. Sin embargo, conforme transcurrió el día pude notar que a pesar de la melancolía se fue incrementando esa fuerza de la que hable en el primer párrafo y que se manifestó en muchas zonas de mí país. Yo no tengo cómo decir si aquello es la regla (si "está bien o mal"), pero definitivamente si es algo esperado. Es una reacción natural de una causa. Se han tomado decisiones. Solo nos queda esperar, ver cómo se comporta todo en estos días y mantener la fe de que las cosas pueden mejorar. Por los momentos, los dejo con estas fotografías. Espero mi próxima publicación muestre otra cara de nuestra realidad. Muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí.

I hope everyone is safe. We see what is happening with reports on X. Sad times as people cling on to power using any method they can.
Greetings from here. I think X is the only social network where our situation has gone viral and that's a good thing. The methods do not justify the end, I think that has been attempted to be demonstrated now. Thank you very much for your support and comment, a hug.
Yes I keep looking at X to see what happens. I have friends in Venezuela so I worry about them. A big hug and stay safe.
