Who’s rich? Who’s poor?

These days, when I’m counting every sol, a donation comes out of nowhere in my RON account. It sais “today it’s my treat”. The dear friend that sent it explains on whatsapp: “I was thinking of those days when we were in the town and you were buying the food … and I said that if I were there with you, I’d like to buy you a lunch”.

It’s one of those amazingly beautiful things that can happen because I put myself in a vulnerable position. People can help you only if you need help and they know it. My ideal used to be to not need help, but I realise what a poor life that would have been.
