Today, Sunday April 27th, has been a pretty quiet day for me, in fact, I would say that I have been feeling very bored, so it is inevitable that my mind has started thinking about things or activities that I used to do that were very useful to disconnect from real life. So I thought of 3 things that I remember that I used to do frequently and that since some time ago I didn't do again for different reasons, and well, I must admit that they are things that I miss too much because at the time these became part of my day to day life.
The first activity that came to my mind was attending live concerts, I remember that throughout my life this was a frequent activity both as a teenager and as a migrant. It was not necessary that they were big concerts, it was enough that they were local bands on small stages doing what they liked and offering a good show. I don't remember how many concerts I went to in my life, I only know that there are dozens and that is something I would like to go back to, the magic of live music has no comparison. The truth is that I'm back in Venezuela and it's been many years since musical events have been organized here like before, so I guess I'll have to wait patiently for one to be announced.
The following activity is mostly linked to the place where I used to live, so it is quite complicated for me to take it up again, however, I have tried to find something similar here and it has not been possible yet. The ramen I used to eat at Shimaya restaurant in the city of Lima was amazing, I tried to go there at least every 15 days to taste that dish, and well, I didn't do it much more often since it was expensive, but it was really worth it. I also liked to eat lasagna in a small restaurant near where I used to live, they gave a very special flavor to the meat and the sauce, I still remember quite clearly my experiences there. As I said, the flavors of those dishes lie quite far from here, but I will not rest until I find something similar.
Another thing I used to do practically every weekend was to play soccer with my coworkers, I remember that I was in charge of organizing the games and reserving the field. For a couple of hours we would play without resting and it was really good for me to exercise and sweat out toxins, but the best of all was that I had fun without limits, this sport was always a great catalyst for me, I play it since I can remember, but now I have more than a year without kicking a ball and that is something I regret. For now, I don't know any groups of people who do this activity to join them, but I guess the time will come.
The truth is that life is changing progressively and little by little we are leaving some habits and building others, however, I can not help but feel some nostalgia for those things that I talked about above and although they seem to be a little distant, I will try to do them as far as possible and adapted to my new environment, there are things that are out of my hands, but there is always something that can be done about it.
