Sunday again... or I should better say My Monday is here again...
At what point do you look at your life and realize that you are not where you thought you would be? I am in a bit of rut I guess. This may sound silly.. but I look at Pinterest and the Pins I have added to my dream home board and can't help but think that I may not accomplish that.. ever! I look at my high school mates and see that they have graduated and are now engaged and/or pregnant and just freeze. I had a great life back in GA and everything made sense, I could see my future there and aspire to these things. To the house, the car, the wedding, the family! and here.. things are just so... ugh! IMPOSSIBLE! the government is so useless, they do not do anything!! Only help the poor by taking away from those that work, and as if that weren't enough there are robbers in every corner waiting for you to leave your house and take your stuff. I do not feel safe here. there, I've said it. I do not feel safe, I do not. I keep thinking someone is going to get in my house when I'm asleep, or while I'm at work. These criminals are unstoppable! They always get away with it, why? because of the government. The steal from you and kill you, do a year in jail, sometimes not even that, and then they are out in the streets again! Stealing and killing. You have kids with guns who have no consequences for their actions because they are under 18! It doesn't matter if they killed or not, if they are under age the government only speaks to their parents and hand them out a "warning". Believe it!!
It is a joke, seriously it is exhausting! to feel this way, about a place which should be your home! I know that right now the States are pretty messed up too... but at least there you call the police and they get to your home within 5 minutes... you can kiss that good bye here. The police officers are non existent, useless and incompetent. They rather not get involved, they do not help and protect. That is not their motto here.
Uruguay revolves around soccer, that is all anyone cares about here. After the soccer game against Ecuador on Friday the country can not stop talking about the loss. It is still on the cover of the papers, even though I can assure you there are far more important things going on here. We are a country full of small minded people, no pioneers, no real fighters, and that is why this country is never going to go anywhere; because there are no candidates to take it anywhere.
One may look up and research about this country, and see how our president tries to help out the poor, and provide health insurance for everybody, but what they do not read about on papers or on the internet is how we really live here. You are not going to see the truth, you won't read about the thousands of people that are robbed daily... because we, as a country, simply do not report it. It is a known truth, it doesn't shock anyone, it is depressing to keep reading the same things over and over again so that is why newspapers to print this, and news shows don't tell you this. They have been telling this story for years... and nothing has changed, so they keep telling you about our soccer team,and about our president... and they settle.
To me... it is all bullshit.
