RE: Summer Reflection #35: Roots of Gold

in #philosophy4 months ago

I am about 7 hours by plane from the land where I was born and raised. Those were wonderful memories that I will never relive, those days of my childhood and teenage years. Those who grew up around me, I no longer know, because people change and personal matters take us away from each other.

Today, I have no ties that anchor me to the place where I became a man, I would say only the passport of dual nationality.

The paths of life are personal. When I returned to Venezuela in December 2022, after 12 years of absence, I felt like a stranger, many things had changed.
