About love, pets and friendship

In my whole life I was in loneliness, because making friends isn't mine, and when I was a kid this wasn't an exception.

I remember when I was five years old, and one morning, my mom gifted me two little ducks, they were very small and adorable!! For the first time, I was a bit scared, but then I loved them. Their names were Roberto and El General.

We used to play all the afternoons in my grandma's garden, looking the flowers and eating them (haha, just my ducks did that), and when the night falls, we used to sit down and look the stars while I pet them. In summer, I used to put a bucket of water so they swam in the fresh water, and it was very funny!

But, one morning, I realized that they weren't in my house: my grandfather took them to a friend's  housethat  lived in the south of Chile, because the ducks destroyed my grandma's garden and some other things. I remember that I was very sad, I really loved them and they were my only two friends...

Sometimes, I remember them, and I feel a bit sad, they were very important to me and I wished we had a last goodbye. I wonder if they missed me, but the thing that really matters is that the other family gived love to them like I used to do.

In my life, I had a lot of pets, but these ducks have a little space in my heart.

The story of my favourite photograph

One day, when I was six years old, my parents went with me to a place that everywhere talked about, this place was called "Fantasilandia". 

I remember when we were in my dad's car, near to the entry of the park and I saw all the things that Fantasilandia has, like big attractions, roller coasters and a pirate ship. I was very excited, because there was a lot of things to do!

The bad new was that, for my height, I could not get on many attractions. So, me and my parents started to look for one that were for me.

After looking for a long time, we found one attraction that was somekind of wheel of fortune, but for kids, and the space to sit was painted with a ladybug theme. I get on with my mom, and my father took a pic of us smiling.

I think that this picture is important for me because it remember me when life was simpler, when I didn't get on trouble with everything and, maybe, when I was more happy.

My favourite book OR film

I usually don`t watch movies or read books, because they are very long for me. I mean, stay sit and quiet for two hours is something that don`t match with me. But, when a book or a movie are a masterpiece, exist an exception.

The first book that I really enjoyed was "Trotzdem Ja zum Leben sagen. Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentratrionslager", in german, or "Man`s Search for Meaning" in english. There is a history set in the world war II, when nazis used concentration camps to erradicate jewish people. Our protagonist, Viktor -who is also the author-, is a psychologist, that inside of the concentration camp, started to analyze how the place and the people are.

The book had three parts. Viktor used three phases to describe how  prisioners react to everything, like their first perspectives of death and pain, when they lose the meaning of their life, or lose moral or ethic concepts like apathy and understanding. I have to be honest, read this makes me feel sadness, because we all now how awful and unfair it was! 

The last part is about the liberation, and I think that this phase is the worst to the prisioner, because is when he is saved and come back to his house... and discover that his entire family and friends are dead, his is alone. 

I really recommend this book, isn`t too long and has a lot of thoughts about love, pain and life in general. And, it is a little piece of history.
