Chile Awoke

Since October 18 everything has been very strange,  I still remember that Friday that I had to dance and after I finished the presentation I did not know how to go to my house. When I managed to take the bus that day I realized that people had joined more, on the bus I felt somehow the joy between people, many things have changed since it all started.

I have never been very close to the neighborhood where I live but I participated in the cacerolazos near of my house, I went with my sisters I wanted them to be part of this, to see how people organized. Sometimes I went with my parents for a drive around San Bernardo Square or around our neighborhood to see what was happening.

The first few weeks I slept very little because the helicopter bothered me and because I felt very distressed, I spent the whole day watching what happened, and also  I ate very little those days. In the week I went to the Plaza dignidad with my cousins, at night I managed to sleep, I felt that I was doing something. 

Since it all started I had a mixture of emotions, rage at seeing what the things that the government and the military did, afraid that something would happen to my family, friend or even to me, and joy because I was excited to see that people resisted and joined, because this was something that had to happen, nobody can endure so many injustices.

I don't know how things will continue from now on, I feel there is still a lot we have to fight for. I like to see how people keep fighting and that they don't want to be taken anymore. And as you mentioned in your blog "the seed of rebellion has sprouted and will continue to growing"
