Mรฉrida, Venezuela



I remember wanting to live in this city since I was a child, when I passed by I kept looking at the city with longing, the streets, the places, the people... I could see beauty behind every corner in the small city, and few things excited me both as a child and the dream of living in beautiful Merida... I remember very well the tickling in my chest every time I looked at the buildings, I imagined the view from the top, I wanted to see the entire city from above and then go through all the corners, feel that Merida was my amusement park.

I had an opportunity to live in the city a couple of years ago, and the truth was not a very pleasant experience, however, Mรฉrida was still there as beautiful as ever, and I couldn't be more in love with that city that was teaching me to see the two sides of the coin, the good and the bad, and I remember very well that my last day living in the city I decided to walk alone aimlessly, just admiring the cold beauty of the wild streets, a farewell which I thought would be Definitively, and when I returned home I felt that something was missing, I wasn't really home anymore...

Few people managed to understand the irony of my situation, I loved that city so much that I avoided visiting it, until, as if it were through the stages of mourning, I accepted that it was not final, that life could be difficult for a student, and I decided to prepare myself Better this time, so that when I had to see my beloved Merida again, I could be up to it, and the day I had to return, I saw more beauty than I had ever seen in that city, so much so that we were greeted with open arms, and things could never be better in the city of the knights of Merida.

The city is changing, it is as if I lived in a different city every day, there are fewer and fewer people, our brothers cross borders seeking a better future, and the streets empty, and yet, beauty does not escape, magic de Mรฉrida accompanies all over the world our Andean brothers who now admire other landscapes, because our perception of beauty is limited to the ability we have to see things from another point of view, there are small worlds around us, small landscapes that They tell fantastic stories, landscapes that we often ignore because they are distracted, and if I can assure you, it is that what I love most about photography is because it has taught me to look everywhere, it has taught me to see beyond what is known. see at a glance, that there is geometry, symmetry, magic, in everything around us...

Recuerdo desear vivir en esta ciudad desde que era un niรฑo, cuando pasaba por ahรญ no paraba de mirar la ciudad con anhelo, las calles, los lugares, la gente... podรญa ver belleza detrรกs de cada rincรณn en la pequeรฑa ciudad, y pocas cosas me ilusionaron tanto cuando era niรฑo como el sueรฑo de vivir en la hermosa Mรฉrida... recuerdo muy bien el cosquilleo en el pecho cada vez que miraba los edificios,me imaginaba la vista desde la cima, querรญa ver la ciudad entera desde arriba y luego recorrer todos los rincones, sentir que Mรฉrida era mi parque de diversiones.

Tuve una oportunidad de vivir en la ciudad hace un par de aรฑos, y la verdad no fue una experiencia muy grata, sin embargo, Mรฉrida seguรญa ahรญ tan hermosa como siempre, y no podรญa estar mas enamorado de esa ciudad que me estaba enseรฑando a ver las dos caras de la moneda, lo bueno y lo malo, y recuerdo muy bien que mi รบltimo dรญa viviendo en la ciudad me decidรญ a caminar solo sin rumbo, solo admirando la frรญa belleza de las calles salvajes, una despedida la cual pensรฉ que serรญa definitiva, y cuando volvรญ a casa sentรญ que algo me faltaba, ya no estaba en casa realmente...

Pocas personas lograron entender lo irรณnico de mi situaciรณn, amaba tanto esa ciudad que evitaba visitarla, hasta que, como si superara las etapas del duelo, aceptรฉ que no era definitivo, que la vida podรญa ser difรญcil para un estudiante, y me decidรญ a prepararme mejor esta vez, para que cuando me tocara volver a ver a mi amada Mรฉrida, pudiera estar a la altura, y el dรญa en que me tocรณ volver, vi mas belleza de la que jamรกs habรญa visto en esa ciudad, tanta que nos recibimos con los brazos abiertos, y las cosas jamรกs pudieron estar mejor en la ciudad de los caballeros de Mรฉrida.

La ciudad es cambiante, es como si viviera en una ciudad diferente cada dรญa, cada vez hay menos gente, nuestros hermanos cruzan las fronteras buscando un futuro mejor, y las calles se vacรญan, y sin embargo, la belleza no se escapa, la magia de Mรฉrida acompaรฑa por todo el mundo a nuestros hermanos andinos que ahora admiran otros paisajes, pues nuestra percepciรณn de la belleza se limita a la capacidad que tengamos para ver las cosas desde otro punto de vista, hay pequeรฑos mundos a nuestro alrededor, pequeรฑos paisajes que cuentan historias fantรกsticas, paisajes que muchas veces ignoramos por estar distraรญdos, y si algo puedo asegurar, es que por lo que mas amo la fotografรญa es porque me ha enseรฑado a mirar a todos lados, me ha enseรฑado a ver mas allรก de lo que se ve a simple vista, que hay geometrรญa, simetrรญa, magia, en todo lo que nos rodea...
