Colombian Pride

Friday, May 8th, 2015

When we travel or migrated from Colombia, we become of one form or another ambassadors of our country, infecting more and more people outside our culture, that Colombian essence that makes us unique. Born and raised in a privileged country, which makes us fill with pride, valuing the wonders and advantages that we Colombians have born and grown up in this country. When I refer to a privileged country, I speak of a place that surprised us with its diversity of climates and landscapes, their dialects and customs which generation after generation have marked us as we are going to grow, making us unique, special, more human and sensitive to what happens around. We stand out by being very United and have that need to be surrounded by those who really love us and they have been with us at all stages of life. For this reason, the family circle for us plays a very important role in our lives.

Nothing richer than a family reunion or a walk with our loved ones and between larger that circle, better. Perhaps for this reason always seek celebrate each success of each Member to organize those warm and pleasant evenings with Grandma, uncle, cousin and up to the dog. While far away, we are looking for a family, and try to relate with other Colombians. Therefore, we are glad whenever we hear a paisa, costeno, caleno or rolo, and try to engage in a conversation. We have a need to search for people and help the Colombian that needs it. We are not so alien to what might happen to another countryman, thus only talk for awhile or we are with that person in a short time. It becomes a temporary company which pleases, valued and appreciated in some way. In my personal experience, I have lived these changes and I need to be in contact with people who accompanied me during my life and the last few years. That’s why despite having all applications that thanks to the Internet facilitates such communication, since a few months ago tale with a service that helps me not only to talk with my family and closest friends, but also with those who do not handle a computer or do not have Internet such as my grandma and some guys who just by dialing a fixed number from any phone, communicate with me. The red phone has been a great help to not lose that close contact with my roots and that identity that I take so much pride. Original author and source of the article
