Cuban Blues

---

To be Cuban today is, among many things, to know that you will have to say goodbye at some point to some, if not many, of your friends. You find nostalgia in any corner, photograph, song or memory you shared together. You will find yourself represented in fictional characters in more than one film that deals with the subject. In my personal case, I have had to say goodbye to at least 50% of my friends. Today, I enjoy and am grateful for every second with those who are still close to me.

A few days ago, some of my friends who graduated with me from college finished their diploma course and we took the opportunity to get together and celebrate. We met at the house of one of them and with laughter and drinks we had a memorable evening. Here are the photos of a very particular fellow, her name is Lulu and she was a fierce animal until we offered her a snack, then, she became a very lovely animal.

In that moment full of joy and anecdotes, a Cuban film I saw recently, 'Habana Blues', came to mind. Anyone who has seen the film will know that nostalgia invaded me and I couldn't hold back a few tears, but I didn't want to sadden the atmosphere, so I kept my composure and controlled myself not to cry. It was a wonderful evening, we reminisced, we laughed, we danced, we talked, we drank, we ate, we were happy.

I hope that all my friends achieve their goals, whatever they may be. But I also hope that life will bring us together again those who are too far away to embrace with the body, and instead, we embrace them with the soul.
See you soon hivers
A hug in the distance.
