The past is gone / El pasado ya pasó - LOH contest week #277 (eng-esp)
Greetings, friends!
Dear @sacra97, if I could travel through time, I would go to the future. I would do it without a second thought. However, I would do so with one thing very clear in mind: I only want to know about my children. I don't want to know anything about myself, my job, my health, or anything that directly concerns me. I prefer that to remain a surprise.
I would love to peek a few years into the future and see them. Seeing their adult faces, knowing if they finally chose the career they always mentioned or if life took them down a different path.
Above all, as a mother, I want to know they're okay, happy, and healthy.
That's all I need. As a mother, you spend your life worrying about them, and having that certainty, even for a moment, would be an enormous relief.
But, I repeat, I don't want to know about myself. I don't want to know if any of my current projects, which I'm so excited about, turn out well or not. I don't want to know if I'll achieve my professional goals or if I'll end up doing something else.
That uncertainty is what gives life its excitement. I like the idea of moving forward without knowing what's coming, of striving every day, and then, when something good happens, being able to celebrate it with all the excitement in the world, without having seen it coming. My children are the only thing I would make an exception for.

Saludos, amigas!
Estimada @sacra97, si pudiera viajar en el tiempo, iría al futuro. Lo haría sin pensarlo dos veces. Sin embargo, lo haría teniendo algo bien claro: solo quiero saber de mis hijos. No quiero saber nada de mí, ni de mi trabajo, ni de mi salud, ni de nada que me concierna directamente a mí. Eso, prefiero que continúe siendo una sorpresa.
Me encantaría asomarme unos años adelante y verlos a ellos. Ver sus caras de adultos, saber si al final se decidieron por la carrera que siempre mencionaban o si la vida los llevó por otro camino.
Sobre todo, madre al fin, quisiera comprobar que están bien, que son felices, que tienen salud.
Solo con eso me conformo. Como madre, una pasa la vida preocupada por ellos, y tener esa certeza, aunque sea por un instante, sería un alivio enorme.
Pero, repito, de mí no quiero saber. No quiero enterarme si alguno de mis proyectos actuales, que tanto me ilusionan, sale bien o sale mal. No quiero saber si cumplo con mis metas profesionales o si termino dedicándome a otra cosa.
Esa incertidumbre es la que le da emoción a la vida. Me gusta la idea de ir avanzando sin saber lo que viene, de esforzarme cada día y que, cuando llegue algo bueno, pueda celebrarlo con toda la emoción del mundo, sin haberlo visto venir. Mis hijos son lo único por lo que haría una excepción.

This is a sign that you have the interest of your children ahead of yours. You're not self-centered. B
The future is my greatest concern as well. What my children and descendants will face in an increasingly divided and troubled world, a world that has become more dystopian where freedom and liberty is forgotten. I'm thinking long termed more like a 'Chinese Auntie' in a pro-liberty sense.
Happy Travels @iamberenice 🕗
