Hola amigos, emocionada por traerles nuevo post, espero que todos se encuentren excelente, hoy les quiero compartir algo que me llena de mucha nostalgia y alegría, anteriormente pase casi 4 días en casa de mi tía en el pueblo donde nació mi madre, debo confesarles que me costó un poco por el hecho de que no tenía Internet ni teléfono, solo tenía a mi familia y la naturaleza, pero luego me fui adaptando poco a poco, el ver estos niños constantemente jugando a todos lados, divirtiéndose al máximo, comprendí muchas cosas.
Sin mas nada que decir, empecemos con esta aventura.
Hi friends, I'm excited to bring you a new post, I hope you all feel excellent, today I want to share something that fills me with much nostalgia and joy, previously I spent almost 4 days at my aunt's house in the town where my mother was born, I must confess that it was a little difficult for me because I had no Internet or phone, I only had my family and nature, but then I adapted little by little, seeing these children constantly playing everywhere, having fun to the fullest, I understood many things.
Without further ado, let's start with this adventure.
Cuando era niña solía disfrutar mucho ir a casa de mi abuela que vivía en Potrerito el pueblo que les hable anteriormente, me gustaba mucho disfrutar de lo que me ofrecía la naturaleza, podía correr a todos lados, jugar con tierra y sobre todo jugar con mis primas, era muy divertido, me sentía libre de andar jugueteando por todos lados, lo que me gustaba más era el sancocho que hacían, y por supuesto comer muchísimas frutas, mi favorita es la mandarina, no tenía límites para comerlas, pero poco a poco fuimos creciendo, ya más tarde mi abuela falleció y ya prácticamente no íbamos al pueblo, solo de vez en cuando a visitar a mis tías, pero últimamente este año fuimos unas cuantas veces, pero no a quedarnos, solo a visitar, y todos ellos han sido una bendición enorme.
When I was a child I used to enjoy going to my grandmother's house who lived in Potrerito, the town I spoke to you about before, I liked very much to enjoy what nature offered me, I could run everywhere, play with dirt and above all play with my cousins, it was a lot of fun, I felt free to play around everywhere, what I liked most was the sancocho they made, and of course to eat lots of fruits, my favorite is the tangerine, I had no limits to eat them, but little by little we grew up, later my grandmother passed away and we practically didn't go to the village anymore, just from time to time to visit my aunts, but lately this year we went a few times, but not to stay, just to visit, and all of them have been a huge blessing.
El día sábado mis padres me dicen que prepare un bolso con ropa porque nos quedaremos un día para los rezos de mi abuela que estaba cumpliendo 4 años de fallecida, yo por supuesto accedí, creí que nos vendríamos el domingo, pero resulta que duramos casi 4 días, el martes por la tarde nos regresamos a nuestro hogar, nos les mentiré como dije anteriormente, me costó mucho, primero porque no me gusta durar mucho tiempo en casa ajena, el dormir, bañarme todo eso se me hace un poco incómodo, además de no tener señal ni Internet, fue un poco difícil, pero a pesar de las circunstancia, pude observar durante esos días como los hijos de mis primas jugaban constantemente en todos lados y siempre mantenían una sonrisa que reflejaba ternura y diversión, entonces me dije a misma ¿Por qué no divertirme con ellos? Algo muy importante de mencionar, es que no me solían gustar los niños, se me hacía muy difícil entenderlos, y siempre solía decir que “son muy fastidiosos”.
On Saturday my parents tell me to prepare a bag with clothes because we will stay one day for the prayers of my grandmother who was turning 4 years of death, of course I agreed, I thought we would come on Sunday, but it turns out that we lasted almost 4 days, on Tuesday afternoon we returned to our home, I will lie to you as I said before, it was very hard, first because I do not like to last long in someone else's house, Sleeping, bathing all that makes me a little uncomfortable, besides not having a signal or internet, was a little difficult, but despite the circumstances, I could observe during those days how my cousins' children played constantly everywhere and always kept a smile that reflected tenderness and fun, so I said to myself Why not have fun with them? Something very important to mention, is that I did not used to like children, it was very difficult to understand them, and I always used to say that "they are very annoying".
Deje a un lado mis preocupaciones, y empecé a interactuar con los niños, pero más que eso, me propuse a pensar como ellos y dejarme llevar por la diversión, no saben el alivio que sentí cuando lo logre, pude jugar con cada uno de ellos y sobre todo pude entender cada cosa que hacían, por qué a veces se portaban mal, o hacían una travesura, o simplemente porque lloraban, y los comprendía, porque al final de todo yo también fui una niña, esa niña que solía oprimir en mi interior, pero luego de todo esto, la deje libre ¿y saben qué? Me siento increíble.
I put aside my worries, and started to interact with the children, but more than that, I set out to think like them and let myself be carried away by the fun, you don't know how relieved I was when I did, I was able to play with each one of them and above all I was able to understand everything they did, why they sometimes misbehaved, or made a mischief, or simply because they cried, and I understood them, because at the end of it all I was a child too, that child who used to oppress inside me, but after all this, I set her free and you know what? I feel incredible.
Seeing how those kids had fun made me remember when I used to have fun with my cousins, I felt free again, I could run around everywhere, I got too attached to a cousin's daughter, whose name is Antonella, she is usually a bit daring and quite imperative, something I noticed was that Antonella was constantly scolded by her aunts, at first I got on their side, because it was very understandable, she didn't pay attention, but then little by little I understood, who was wrong wasn't the girl, they were them, I understood that this little 4 year old only needed attention in every aspect, and above all she needed understanding love and patience, something I offered her during those days, and believe me it was like that with all the children, I was able to understand them and know what they needed, and I don't blame them or their parents, every human being makes mistakes, but I would have liked to be able to tell their parents something about how their children feel most of the time, but I didn't say anything, because who am I? I haven't had children, nor do I have the right to give my opinion about that, I don't know their reasons, or anything, so I'm just going to offer all my time, love, patience, understanding to these children.
Cuando me despedí de ellos sentí un vacío enorme, realmente quería seguir disfrutando con ellos, pero quien me dio más nostalgia fue Antonella quien en varias ocasiones la vi caerse continuamente muy feo, y ni una gota de lagrima derramo, pero se me partió el alma al verla llorar cuando me marchaba, la abrace fuertemente y le dije que cuando volviera le traería un regalo, pero ella quería irse conmigo, y así me fui, la vi llorar hasta que el carro avanzo y no pude verla más, me sentí muy mal, realmente ella necesita mucha atención, pero sobre todo paciencia, cumpliré mi promesa al volver al pueblo, tratare de llevar algo para todos, espero tener el dinero suficiente para comprarles a todos algo.
When I said goodbye to them I felt an enormous emptiness, I really wanted to continue enjoying them, but the one who gave me the most nostalgia was Antonella who on several occasions I saw her fall continuously, very ugly, and not a drop of tears fell from her eyes, but my soul broke when I saw her crying as I was leaving, I hugged her tightly and told her that when she came back I would bring her a present, but she wanted to leave with me, and so I left, I saw her crying until the car moved forward and I couldn't see her anymore, I felt very bad, she really needs a lot of attention, but above all patience, I will keep my promise when I return to town, I will try to take something for everyone, I hope I have enough money to buy everyone something.
Me gusto pasar tiempo con ellos, sus sonrisas me generaban una paz que buscaba constantemente este año, ellos jugaban con lo que tenía, no tenían preocupaciones ni estrés, solo buscaban la diversión en lo más mínimo, así debemos ser los adultos, de vez en cuando dejar salir nuestro niño interior, buscar lo bueno en los pequeños detalles, la belleza que nos ofrece la vida, valorar lo que tenemos, aprender amar aquellos que lo necesitan, y sobre todo a no perder esa sonrisa que motiva a otros a seguir adelante, estar agradecidos siempre con todo.
¡Gracias por su infinito apoyo! Nos vemos en próximo post.
I liked spending time with them, their smiles generated a peace that I was constantly looking for this year, they played with what I had, they had no worries or stress, they only looked for fun in the least, that's how we adults should be, from time to time let our inner child out, look for the good in the small details, the beauty that life offers us, value what we have, learn to love those who need it, and above all not lose that smile that motivates others to keep going, be grateful always with everything.
Thank you for your endless support! See you in the next post.
