After about 7 weeks of being on this side of town, i must say i feel like i am living here. I have gotten used to the street signs, the smells, the weather, the currency, the norms, the sharp contrasts, and the people. It has been a really intersting ride... this life im living. I do see sharp contrast practically on a daily basis.. but honestly, the more time i spend here, and the more time i spend with the people, the less idealisitc i become. i am currently having a difficult time with the "live simply so that others may simply live." This somehow made sense to me before... i loved this quote. If you have ever recieved an email from me, then you recognize it from my signature... but i am having a serious issue with it because out of the numerous things I am learning, one of them is: so really, how is me living simply in my home going to better the fact that my host mom still has no hot water for the night?
if u are reading this, chances are the i love u... thanks for reading my blogs... emotional vomits will soon be spurting up in the next few blogs... considering the fact my parents are coming TODAY! :)
ADios amigos!
ps. i got the chance to see the ballet folklorico in the palacio de bellas artes last sunday night in Mexico CIty. W O W.
I love it. i love the sound of mariachi more than i ever did before. And this means, a lot.
About Me
- Damaris
- In the words of Julieta Venegas: Oleada No quisiera detener esta oleada que me lleva a dónde, a dónde no lo sé, sólo me muevo con ella. Y nadie ahí me conocerá, y a nadie ahí reconoceré pero no tengo miedo. No quiesiera detener esta oleada que me lleva Y todo lo que ya viví, lo sigo cargando Lo llevo muy dentro de mí nunca lo he olvidado, lo siento tan cerca de aquí, lo llevo muy dentro de mí. Voy en busca de un lugar, en este mundo abierto donde me pueda yo quedar, para empezar de nuevo. Y nadie ahí me conocerá, y a nadie ahí reconoceré pero no tengo miedo. Y todo lo que ya viví, lo sigo cargando Lo llevo muy dentro de mí nunca lo he olvidado, lo siento tan cerca de aquí, lo llevo muy dentro de mí. :)

i know how you feel dude. Every day I see people who have the oppertunity and ability to get off the streets, but because of events in their life, they simply cant. And all i can do is just sit and listen to their difficult stories and hope one day they will regain their strength. I feel completely powerless.
i love you a lot, y tengo ganas de hablar contigo muy muy pronto!!!!!!
I think I love as much as you love mariachi music...
maybe more...
for sure more!
I meant to write "I think I love YOU as much as you love mariachi music..."
