Home is not merely the space where you live. A true home is the place where you love and you are loved.

"Goals"

HOMELESSNESS: A condition in which it's supremely hard for veteran digital workers find the means to produce and reach a proper state of mind as to think with calm about create and publish good content. And comment/interact with other people online in an effort to try generate Steem rewards and some incomes for our survival.

Well buddies, I am homeless. And that's the reason of my recent absence within the platform. And also the reason of my sudden powerdown that I never did ever before along my three years around here.

From this past May 9 I have no home. Because the family of the apartment where I've been living in a rented room this last year, taking advantage of a fortuite opportunity that they couldn't afford to miss have abandoned the country in a rush running away of the increasing hardships and awful economic situation currently in Venezuela.

Until few days ago, I had no choice but jump from a cheap motel to the next in order to not see my old bones sleeping on the extremely dangerous streets of Caracas. But now my savings and financial resources are starting to run out and money scarcity is beating me mercilessly. There was no way to find another place to rent, stay and live in with some stability so far. And obviously, there is no internet access available either to produce not even a single cent anywhere.

So, fortunately and thanks to the help, sacrifice and great effort of an old good friend. Of the scarce handful of those that I still have who are living in this country or that are still alive in this planet. I am now temporarily refuged in his house where, evidently, he have not the proper space to shelter me for long time.

He lives in a small town in the surroundings of Caracas. A town close enough to Caracas that it's even officially considered part of the metropolitan area of the capital.

But, argh the irony. ¡Oh boy! ¿Can things turn out worse in this country? Yes! of course they can. In Caracas the capital of the country everything has been going pretty bad. But over here in Los Altos Mirandinos the entire population has been suffering for a long time and still suffer of permanent blackouts and systematically programmed energy power cuts twice a day. Sometimes three times a day randomly for three or four hours in a row. With the additional disastrous results that each time that we are without electricity, there is no water or telephony or communication services available in the zone either. Nor the regular landwired nor wireless for mobile phones.

All these calamities due the constant lose of landline wires, batteries, equipments and key instruments & accesories that have been stolen from the transmision towers and communication centrals in the region which provide such services and never has been replaced anymore.

In fact the whole place looks like an authentic war zone. The only thing left is to hear the sound of the machine guns around and that of the planes bombing us. ¡Wadda regrettable mess my friends!

¿How the heck one can work and be productive under this situation? ¿How the heck a country can produce, evolve and prosper in these highly adverse conditions? Without electricity not even the merchants can work either because their POS doesn't work to make their usual sales & settle their commercial banking transactions. And when almost no one here have access to cash in order to be able to pay for and purchase their most basic consumer products due the lack of bolivars in cash everywhere. You tell me what we can do. ¡Holy shit!

Just take a few minutes to think about this that I'm telling you.

Therefore my internet access time is very limited. I'm currently using my mobile phone data plan in the measure that I can when we have electricity which is way expensive and I have to be extremely careful to manage it wisely to try to be online without waste my balance too soon.

If any of you who are reading this message feels like willing to help me out in some way. Don't hesitate to drop me a comment with your ideas and suggestions. Maybe through a collective brainstorm together we could be able to make the ideas and possible solutions flow in a more positive vibe in front of a very dire situation.

On other hand, please excuse me the bad news and the poor quality of this post. I felt obliged to give some explanation about my absence within the community and the reasons of my recent powerdown. Actually, I don't intend to leave this platform any time soon and my commitment here is long term. But my current situation is very serious and I had to make an urgent decision to try to fight it as the most effective way as possible.

Let's hope that on a next post I could be able to bring more detailed information on the table regarding my plans and alternatives to combat the current adversity and better my situation and that of those in my surroundings.

We'll keep in touch buddies!!
