Class: Miami Connection (document)

Again encloses every one of the rooms, again dividers
without pictures, garments scattered, books stacked like the Tower of Babel.
Counting the flat where I was conceived I don't recollect
this is my fourteenth move. In the first place with my folks, at that point
just with my mom, at that point alone, at that point to London, at that point
wedded, at that point to Miami and now back to London with a tyke.
So are the progressions, with many basic components -, for
example, dishes and glasses wrapped in daily paper - and particular, particular
subtle elements of another difference in road, neighborhood, nation or course.
I really did not leave Miami yet, but rather as I headed out
to Argentina on my child's "visiting visit" for half a month, it
didn't bode well to keep my flat here if in May I returned just for 10 days.
The thought is to come back to London "light",
without spending fortunes in transoceanic and overweight changes at air
terminals as a year prior, when we landed at these shores with the mystery any
desire for not crossing the sea again for quite a long while.
That is the reason the specific thing about this move is the
division of products that we are completing with my better half without having
separated us. A large number of the articles, plates and books collected amid
these years will go to Ecuador, others to Argentina, and will quit meandering
heedlessly as their proprietors, trusting that some time they will choose to
stop.
As I said in the presentation, there are many sorts of
moving in the life of one (I take 14 ... my better half until the point that
she met me had just moved once and now goes for her 6th).
When I was little I discovered them captivating. There was
no preferred concealing spot over the huge wicker container conveyed by the
grown-ups to move our furniture, or better development material for my
qualities than the library tables, unarmed and helpless before my creative
ability.
Be that as it may, throughout the years I comprehended why
such a great amount of worry in the elderly. Such huge numbers of recollections
put away, so much pointless mark of "delicate, treat deliberately",
both disassembled home and new house to be discharged. Not even the pits of my
wooden châteaux could keep those progressions under control.
At 12 years old, the primary division purchased. Despite
everything I didn't know every one of the attractions of the house itself, so
my mom's close to home fulfillment appeared to be crazy considering that our
goal was a significantly littler flat than the past ones.
My total dismissal of private property happened amid the
principal weeks, when my mom did not enable me to put a hand on the dividers
all together not to soil or move a household item so as not to scratch the
floor. The last swings of the apartment drove all her those two situations
cleaner than the salons of a royal residence outside.
At that point came my own loft, significantly littler than
that of my 12 years, yet with key components that right up 'til the present
time mean for me the best articulations of individual flexibility: not to make
the bed in the morning and to utilize fabric clothes and no paper napkins to
eat, dry the dishes and clean the table.
On April 2, 2000, precisely seven years prior, the mother of
the considerable number of expulsions, the main exit of the nation, the
intersection of the Atlantic, the landing not to an obscure neighborhood but
rather to a totally new city, with its own traditions, their own particular
dialect and the names of the lanes that I never learned.
The entrancing thing about this change was that I couldn't
convey furniture, libraries or beds on the plane. For fourteen days, I went
just into two or three bags: I was a little garments, a couple of books, some
photographs, nothing that measured more than 10 kilos, nothing with legs, no
wood or iron.
Be that as it may, the delicacy does not keep going long.
That is maybe one of the considerable riddles of man today, his capacity to
wind up plainly overwhelming in a matter of months. Gradually everything amasses,
the stereo to tune in to the circles, the light to peruse during the evening,
holders to hang garments and the main decorations of the business sectors and
fairs we now walk.
When we need to acknowledge we as of now have our own
particular furniture, new artistic creations, racks, organizers, utensils,
glasses and dishes that can be suceled - they too - to be in any way wrapped in
daily paper later on
travel.
When it came time to come to Miami, crossing the Atlantic
again with such an overwhelming burden included boxes sent by vessel,
organizations in the Old Continent with related organizations in the New,
traditions requesting clarifications and auditors soliciting the qualities from
the stock ("reason me , Mr. Examiner, that to which you call stock is my
life ").
What's more, now everything begins again ...
I met individuals who were conceived and kicked the bucket
in a similar house. That he was upbeat knowing by heart each edge of his home,
each stain on the divider. I never felt like one of them, they never left me
either.
Be that as it may, I should concede that I am as of now
tired of putting my entire presence in boxes, of wrapping each uncertainty and
each conviction on paper, of leaving worn spots in each office that is behind.
It will be the years, it will be the family, it will be
sentimentality ... or, on the other hand essentially that I never again know
what number of changes I have to get to a house.
Do you know the appropriate response?

Matias, I'm winning: 16 moves.
I incorporate expulsions inside the nation and returns.
I make a division: one thing is the physical development of
the packs and another altogether different, it is the part of the development
towards another place.
The previous is monotonous, even horrendous. The second,
then again, is an incredible enterprise.
Knowing is not stalling out in life. It is developing.
We appear on the scene with nothing and we leave with
recollections. Everything else happens.
That is the reason I like the progressions.
In spite of the fact that at my age, commonly I would want
to have a "corner on the planet", where I can be more quiet (well far
from the urban areas, obviously).

Hello there Matias? What number of moves does a house, the
recollections of the little room, the dividers, the scent of the perils of the
room window. Not to have spared the containers of Harods, Gath and Chaves, the
worn out changes, to radiate affections to pick up put, the best toy, the
companions of the area are antagonized, the neighbors, the traders is each of
the a pity. You get accustomed to it, yet it is difficult. Pay floor right. Or,
on the other hand HOME? I moved just three times throughout my life, yet when I
can experience the place, I recall. A welcome from Argentina of your comrade
Matilde.

Sera Matias That with the agnos we quit being Mafalda and we
need to be somewhat Susanita? . I have likewise moved commonly more than the
normal (15 times add up to in 35 years of life). I feel of interminable
obliteration with a crate house on the opposite side of the Atlantic and with a
house on this side holding up to have pictures on the dividers and an agreeable
couch to peruse. What's more, following six years we are prepared to begin
again not with a few bags loaded with horse crap yet with a child by the hand,
scholarly titles of vital colleges and some pertinent expert experience and a
formula of sustenance Exotic Paradoxically this house, the trasteo, is the
house in which I have lived the greater part of my wedded life, it is the house
in which my child still rests in a travel bunk yet he can stroll around openly
now he gives his initial steps. In this house without agreeable couch, without
pictures on the dividers my little family has celebrated and cried the delights
and distresses run of the mill of life as a couple. This house is
unquestionably our home yet it is not our home yet. In this house I hear the
prepare at 9:30 p.m. what's more, I understand that I need to be a Mafalda and
today I may want to be Susanita (I as of now have the sovereign, the primary
youngster and well I just miss the house).

Matias, these contemplations go to my spirit, over the most
recent 9 years I have moved 5 times, that in the wake of having originated from
my nation (Cuba) as a tyke and lived in New Orleans for just about 30 years.
Once in a while I believe that I begrudge the individuals who dependably remain
in a similar place with everything that is recognizable, yet in addition these
progressions have served me to toss the futile, procure the fundamental,
encircle myself with what truly interests me and I like, I have referred to
urban communities inside and out not as a vacationer but rather as an occupant,
to put it plainly, the progressions are encounters - and you need to live them.

I read to you and I was enticed to tell my moves yet I got
lost, so I chose to go into my life after I exited my mom's home (which implied
forgetting two houses in London in only one year). All things considered, I've
moved 17 times since I was 17 and went to examine in Caracas.
Only yesterday, from my third home in Miami in 6 years, I
was simply posing those inquiries. Until the point when I will change? At the
point when will the genuine home come? I might want to feel that soon, however
I have surrendered, I figure my temperament won't permit me. I'm sad I couldn't
answer you, yet it gave me help to realize that there are others in my
circumstance. As they would state in Venezuela: wickedness of numerous, comfort
of dolts.

Dear essayist, in all actuality I don't have an answer
however perusing your story pulled in me to revealing to you that you are not
the only one in that profession, since I was conceived and I lost the how
frequently I moved, for various life circumstances. word that you compose I
came straightforwardly in light of the fact that finally and now at my 45 years
with my better half we purchased a house just 3 months back, and my girls is
the first occasion when I instruct them to do what they need and to reveal to
us that shading they need their rooms, their draperies and put where.
