What Was My July 11, 2022 Like in Cuba

I awoke on July 11 without any expectations, it was just a regular working Monday. Before leaving, I watched a video by a university student.

The news has been spreading like wildfire since Saturday July 2nd. It was all very confusing in the beginning…

It was 4 PM on Sunday afternoon. There had been electricity all day, which is rare during these times of non-stop blackouts.

It was 2014 and most of us Cubans didn’t have Internet access at the time, however, a piece of news spread by word of mouth:..

It’s becoming harder to build or fix up a home with your own means. It’s practically impossible unless you have family living abroad to help.

If you can’t get out of here and don’t have the means to change society, it’s crucial you create a protective bubble to not lose your mind.

The present of an enslaved people is very sad, which is unable to make progress on its own and is forced to live like a mere parasite.

I can’t switch on the small electric stove, so I open the fridge, take out a bit of powdered milk and stir it with some water from the tap.

These lawmakers (if we can call them this) only play the sad role of raising their hand & approving anything adopted by Cuba’s ruling elite.

Yep, it’s indeed difficult, but it’s not impossible. At the end of the day, happiness is just a journey, we never really reach it.
