FROM PEACE TO STORM: General Public
On Emily Andrango real life
18th November, 2021Everyone maybe thinks that moving from the rural area
to the city is something easy and even something beautiful, but truly believe
me, not is not.
So, here is my perspective of how it was changing my
life from a really peace zone to a really noisy and dangerous, with also some
quotes of my grandfather, that is going to help us to understand this difficult
situation, I hope you enjoy reading :D
I was born in the rural area in the Holy Field (for being
more specific) and I lived right there until I was 10, but all of you don’t
imagine how incredible was living in the Holy Field, my first and unique home,
I was all my day with the horses, ridding them or giving them food, also I was
in love with the goats, I think that are like little dogs, are so cutie and
beautiful. But of course, nothing will be rosy all the time, although I
honestly would have preferred my perfect life to last a little longer.
First of all, let's talk about what my life was like
when I moved in.
At the time the machines were created, the cities
literally exploded, all the work and labor was in the cities which implied that
the sales in my family dropped exponentially, my family made jackets with
sheep's wool, but with the machines, nobody bought to my parents and people
directly asked to the factories, that was a huge problem to our economy, we had
to rationalize the food… Can you imagine eating all days tomato soup? But the
last straw was when my grandmother fell ill with a fever and we couldn't afford
a doctor, which made my parents decide to move to the city. The day we packed
our bags and were ready to leave, it has been one of my worst days, saying
goodbye to my uncles and cousins, it was horrible but nothing was sadder than
saying goodbye to my grandparents, because as my parents worked all day my
grandfathers took care of me and with the simple fact of moving alone with my
parents it was like leaving with strangers…. that last goodbye made me really cry,
but I knew it was a see you soon not a see you never.
And now, how this affected our entire family.
When we arrived in the city it was a bit difficult to
find a place to live, everything was too expensive, but fortunately we found a
place, it was not beautiful as my room in the country, but at least I had a
place to sleep, the rest of the days were not improving, I changed the tomato
soup for the spinach soup and I had neither horses nor goats to distract me,
only the trains and factories were heard all over the place, however, sometime
later my parents did get a good job and our life In the city was improving
little by little, but in the rural area things were not going very well, my
grandfather told me "Nothing is the same without you Emy" that phrase
hurt me to the soul, he also told me that they were all sad, after our
departure, my cousins no longer played and only fought, my grandparents had
no reason to smile and their life was more boring and despite the money that we
sent them, they did not feel comfortable - Grandpa- "Everything changed,
the family broke up and although we have more money, I prefer the life of
before than this life without happiness".
Honestly, how could you have read about this blog,
coming to live from the countryside to the city has been a bit complicated
until now even that now I 16 years old, honestly neither money nor technology
replace my life with horses or my Grandparents, so I'll go live with them when
I'm 18, remember that this is just my point of view and how I see life, people
only learn when it happens to them.
