My Word and Its Lights (Who I Am)

Hello! dear steemians.

My name is Cristian Fragoza. I am 19 years old, of which 4 I have dedicated to writing poetry, stories, essays and some other criticism/opinion articles about topics of my interest. I'm not very organized about what I write, sometimes it's good, other times it's bad. I study philosophy at the Central University of Venezuela and illustration in an art school.

I will tell you a little about the things I do and love: In addition to writing, I am a blacksmith (apprentice), I know it may sound strange that a student of philosophy performs this job, but that will explain in another post; I make doors, windows and other works that can help me, but what I love about this job are the possibilities of creating anything, such as artistic works or just something that i imagine.

Sometimes, the city absorbs my strength and many times my spirits, but I always find refuge in two things I love, drawing and books. Then, in addition to my writings, I will show you what I draw; I really like Chinese ink and engraving. As to books, my favorite genre is horror and romantic, but I read more books of art and philosophy.

And finally, but no less important are flowers and my city. For those who do not know, Caracas is the capital of Venezuela, which is not going through one its best moments; This economic and social situation has caused that the city to be in deplorabel state , but that does not prevent it from loving it, because every day I find more reasons to love it and value it. I walk and meet it, and try to make all those around me learn to see the city with other eyes (a friendly one) and so everyone loves it in their own way, but at the end, love the city. And well, and finally, I cultivate ornamental plants on my roof and when I have some in bloom I will show them (and when I get some on the street too).

This is one of my orchids - cattleya mossiae-

I will write what is happening in my mind and what my heart thinks.

Best regards!
