Hello @flaws, what a nice post, let me congratulate you because you expressed very well the situation of our country, I am also Venezuelan and although I am not your age, you know how to use words very well.

In my particular case, I am 40 years old and I have two professions, T.S.U. in computer science and Lic. in Administration, currently unemployed because I was working as a teacher and I had to quit because I was not earning anything and the stress affected my health a lot with serious migraines.

I tell you this because independently of the age and the professions in very difficult to live in Venezuela, I have spent the last year open, and I have stopped eating to feed my dog, in very strong this situation but always I see the glass half full, I consider that it is a learning process and if today I do not have to eat then it is a day to depurate my body and to learn to value a grain of rice.

Steemit is wonderful just 5 months ago I learned about this platform, I do not earn much but the little I get serves me to buy half a carton of eggs sometimes and above all gives me much hope for the future, allows me to express my emotions and gave me great joy to meet and communicate with many people in the world.

pd. even received a postcard from a friend in taiwan @livingktaiwan

Thanks for this post, the Venezuelan is transforming to become a powerhouse in the future, holding on to technology.

Merry christmas.
