Hello, dear people!

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been crazy about Spiderman. My life consisted of watching his movies, reading his comics, playing with his figurines, and dressing in his suit. I WAS CRAZY. I got to the point of insanity that I wanted to be him. I imagined myself fighting villains and saving my city. But as a child I realized how impossible that was. Not because I didn’t have his superpowers, but because my city didn’t have tall buildings like his. At first I thought that city didn’t even exist, but my mom told me it existed, but that it was far away. I knew right away that my mission was to get there and I kept begging my mom to take me, but she couldn’t. Not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't - the financial situation was desperate. Growing up, I realized that I was not Peter Parker and that I would never be Spiderman, but the desire to visit that city was still present. In the meantime, my parents divorced and my financial situation was even worse than last year. Now I’m sure I won’t be visiting that city any time soon, and I know I have to and I have to. I would love to visit all that this city has to offer and eventually find out, "Is there Spidey?"
