This is not my regular style... and this is not my regular description, so please read it and let me apologize for my crappy english.

I don't know how things are going to you, but here in Spain, we're in a very serious financial crisis. Our unemployed rate is over 5,000.000 and so many people is becoming seized or evicted becouse they have no money.
I don't want to talk about politics but I'm not satisfied with the reforms our goverment is taking.

My father, a hard worker since he was 14 years old, is unemployed since two years. Affortunately my mom works as a cook. I'm searching for a job too, and I had to do a waitress course for the unemployed this year, becouse living of my art is almost impossible. I haven't found a job yet.

A lot of my friends here are in the same situation.

We live in Asturias, a small autonomous community in the north of Spain. If you haven't heard of it, google it.
I deeply love where I live, I always believed this was like paradise. But I can't find a good job here, and probably I will have to move to a bigger city or maybe to another country. I'm saving money for it, but thinking about this breaks my heart.

I'm very attached to my people and our habits, I don't want to leave my friends or my family.

But I want to live by my own, and earn money from my art. I would love to study animation and a lot of things I can't do here...

I feel kicked out from paradise :(

PD: I don't think Adam and Eve had razorblades in paradise.

this is a great piece! I'm sorry for your predicament, but your work is so top rate that if you do have to move,(sad as that may be.) I'm sure you'll bloom wherever you're planted.

Sad but true. Portugal is on the same situation, not sure if not worse (we just have a great political and economical organization... I think it's something genetically put on us! XDD) Força
