My National (not so national) Holiday.

National Holiday in our country is celebrated on September. The reason of this holiday it is supposed to be the independence of chilean people, like who had born and lived here in during colonial age, and were governed by the spain monarchy even when this last one weren't present in the territory.

The thing here is what does it means to be chilean nowadays, because that conflict has been left on the past and also we can question what people did participate of that conflict. The previous is because the people who has sign to get sovereignty were part of the elite intelectual conformed by two strong political groups, conservative and liberals, who even they have left behind their opposite ideas to get on. But, the native people who lived here since always, instead to asking them or make them participate to it, they weren't considerate to it, contrary they were repressed for a long time (and some cases they still being it today). So this nationalism thing for me isn't real.

So I called this post, "my national (not so national) holiday", because of course I did celebrated and I did rest too. But I didn't do it on the name of our homeland. Nowdays, I could say, every society has their own holidays stipulated by their nations, like their traditions related to the history of every country (the told history), and what they considerate relevant.

So if i has those days to do whatever i want, cause even when i would preffer that were different, they won't, and it would be very hard to change it. So intead to staying at home like the all day, what its obviously an option for me, i take advantage of it and as most of my friends stayed on Santiago those days, we hanging out, but no to "fondas". We take it like if were normal free day, but many of them.
