I write this at almost 4AM, with a bit of insomnia and with a thousand thoughts and many more on my head,

My account is about to expire, but since I managed to sell some of the stuff (more on that later), I guess it doesn't hurt to add one more year. Silly as it sounds, I've come to need this place, in a way. Is like one inch of me that exists apart from the rest, a sanctuary of sorts.

Now, I've been selling my stuff here cause as of june 28th i will return to Venezuela. It has been a very tough decission but one I consider right.

Situation in Spain ain't easy, not that it is easy anywhere, Venezuela in particular, included. However, the chances (some of them at least) are not coming as they should, and while I have learned a lot during this last years, I just cannot bear the idea of living of the money my parents sent me, not at this point in my life. There is no sense in building a false idea of independence around the fact that I am away from home while I cannot support myself.

Is a tough situation cause, well, Venezuela is a very tough place to live, some of you are from there, some live nearby, so I guess you have an idea of how absurdly insecure my country is right now. It won't be a walk in the park, but i think I have enough common sense to keep myself from trouble. From there, is basically start my live all over. In that, I have support, not only from my family, but also from an extraordinary group of friends (Araid and Sper included, even thou she is a bit far)
I have a ton of ideas and proyects and desire to finally make my way into the world. I don't see these coming months as the ending of something, but a transition into a new begnning, after all, and I quote that Semisonic song..."every new beginning comes from some other begnining's end"

Who knows, live has many twists and turns, perhaps I will be knocking in othe doors near Venezuela, in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, it is a big world out there, I'm sure there's a place for me.

On the other hand, it is tough cause I've come to love this city, it has a piece of my heart, forever. Barcelona will be forever my home, la meva casa.

So, as I click to renovate another year of SG account, I think that I should thank those who make me want to stay. That includes the amazing Paprika and Lethal , two of the most beautiful and amazing women I have had the luck to meet. Also Holly Star and Iluvenis, you girls are awesome, and of course, Taraluv , merci pour entendre, mon ami.

Anyway, here are some pics from the latest short film i worked as art director.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who comes into this silly blog,

Rafa
