Ten years ago I used to be a dreamer young girl living in a place where dream was kind of an impossible. I dreamed of the most extraordinary place in my mind. Being a Cuban girl, have a perfect and free place to live was just a fantasy I imagined to escape the reality. The reality of my poor land dominated by hatred and will of a group of people that have not wished at all of seeing a free Cuba.

It will be good to going to a park with fulfill trees of flowers during spring; or revel in of a gorgeous and clear beach in summer, looking at lake’s surface as smooth as glass, reflecting the lovely summer sky. The sounds of the splashing waves against the shore provide no better cure for insomnia. Feeling the relaxing breeze of the fall while you take a nap on a leave’s mattress makes you be transported to other dimension. The good thing is that as an eighteen years old girl I understood that was almost impossible to be in a place like the one in my dreams. So it was only an escape to in my mind.

My very own place has wide streets quite people and brilliant photo ads. It has an intense, blue, clean and vivid sky during the day and a glittery dark and peaceful sky during the night.
The perfect place or better say, perfect dream that it feels
