Why do some people admire Latin American cultures but not want to be from or live in those countries?

Nah, I’m better far away from all of that. But I really do love it there, as a tourist.

Did you know it’s normal over there to work 6 times a week like 10 hours per day? I love my heritage but in the West I work 5 times a week 40 hours, including lunch. It’s also normal to have 10, 20 minutes lunch.

I love Latin America, I grew up there but have to admit quality of life is better in the west. There are laws that protect the workers and it’s all together more comfortable, less crime too.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Life is just better in the West. The traffic is horrible, the noise never stops and I will repeat myself, the crime. Terrible crime.
