“It’s been 13 years since I left New York. I’m here because of this strange situation that is happening around the world with covid-19. In Colombia we do not have a quick access to the vaccine. So what I thought was best was to come and get vaccinated here…The whole last year has made me realize a lot of things have changed in my life.
I moved to a new apartment in 2020. I was with my husband at that time and we were starting to create this new life. We got into this investment and remolding. It had been a whole big project for us.We are just finishing up and unpacking and we are locked down with the extreme quarantines. And two weeks later, in this situation, my husband says he’s no longer happy in our marriage and he doesn’t want to continue plus he wants to be with someone else. It was shocking…
I consider life is like a checkerboard. Life just moves one one piece from one place to another and you don’t know why is that movement happening. But there are reasons…Now I feel that, over time, I can see myself and I see things that I didn’t realize were happening and feel more comfortable about me, about being by myself and being happy by myself. Which is something that I’ve been discovering. And that is good.”
