Pronounced ve-nə-ˈzwā-lə

A little sincerity

I opened this tumblelog to show off a little bit of the beauty of my country to my foreign friends. And it’s all true. Every single thing I’ve posted here is true, and shows a part of Venezuela that isn’t often reflected on the news abroad.

But unfortunately, what those newscasts show is very true, also. We are in the hands of the government that has undermined democracy by using it, ironically. They claim they want to be inclusive when they are in fact the most excluding government we have ever had. We are in a point in our history where we are paying hundreds of years of imperfect democracy. And we might be slowly sliding back into a dictatorship.

I may have not updated in a while, and I apologize, but it hasn’t been easy to show the true, positive things about my country, when so much ugliness is coming out. Please don’t abandon us, as you didn’t abandon Iran.
