A Beautiful Family Memory [TBT] ESP/ENG
Portada diseñada por mi en el editor de Canva
Today I'm sharing a single photograph I found in the trunk of memories. One of my cousins had posted it on her WhatsApp status, so as soon as I saw it, I didn't hesitate to ask for it because it brought back so many memories. I was about 16 or 17 years old, and I remember that on that occasion we were celebrating a double birthday: my cousin's (the owner of the photo) and my grandfather's. They both had their birthdays on the same date, and I say "had their birthdays" because my grandfather is no longer alive.
Para hoy traigo una sola fotografía que encontré en el baúl de los recuerdos, la había publicado una de mis primas en su estado del whatsaap, así que en cuanto la vi no dudé en pedírsela porque me trajo tantísimos recuerdos de ayer, yo tenía unos 16 o 17 años y recuerdo que en esa ocasión estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños doble: el de mi prima (la dueña de la foto) y el del abuelo, ambos cumplían años en la misma fecha, y digo “cumplían” porque actualmente el abuelo ya no vive.
I remember we were especially happy because one of my cousins (the girl in the black swimsuit with her hair swept to one side) was rejoining the family after she had been upset with us for a while. I don't even remember why, but I know it was just a silly teenage thing 😄. Anyway, as I was saying, we were all very happy about her return.
Recuerdo que estábamos especialmente felices porque una de mis primas (la chica con traje de baño negro y el cabello hacia un lado) se estaba reincorporando a la familia, luego de que pasó un tiempo disgustada con nosotros, ya ni recuerdo porqué, pero sé que era una absoluta tontería de adolescentes 😄, bueno, como les decía, todos estábamos muy felices por su regreso.
I was the girl in the blue swimsuit, the one indicated by the white arrow in the photo. I looked so different, not just in appearance, because I was a brunette then and now I'm blonde—but in every way. Looking back, I remember being naive and a dreamer, much more so than I am today. We all know that whether you've had bad experiences or not, the years toughen you up a bit when it comes to dreams, but without a doubt, I was very happy. Sometimes we don't realize how happy we are in the present; we focus too much on planning for the future, and when we become adults, we also live longing for the past 😔. But we don't really realize or appreciate how privileged we are in the present 🤗. That's what matters and what we should take advantage of: looking back and being grateful, but enjoying the present at every moment, with those who are still by our side, with the experiences we've already lived that have made us who we are.
Yo era la chica de traje de baño azul, la que está señalada con la flecha blanca en la foto. Me veía tan distinta, no solo en apariencia, porque entonces era morena y ahora soy rubia, sino en todos los sentidos. Cuando miro en retrospectiva recuerdo que yo era ingenua y muy soñadora, mucho más de lo que soy hoy en día, porque ya sabemos que hayas tenido malas experiencias o no, los años te curten un poco en cuanto a sueños se refiere, pero sin lugar a dudas era muy feliz. A veces no sabemos lo felices que somos en el presente, nos enfocamos demasiado en planear el futuro y cuando llegamos a adultos también vivimos añorando el pasado 😔, pero en realidad no nos damos cuenta y no dimensionamos lo privilegiados que somos en el presente 🤗, eso es lo que vale y lo que debemos aprovechar, mirar al pasado y agradecer, pero disfrutar el presente en todo momento, con los que aún permanecen a nuestro lado, con las experiencias ya vividas que nos hacen ser quienes somos.
Well friends, that was my Throwback Thursday post this week—short but sweet, with a thought that I hope will be helpful not only to me but to all of you. May God always bless you in every aspect of your lives.
Bueno amigos, ese fue mi TBT de esta semana, corto pero conciso, con una reflexión que espero no solo me sirva a mi misma, sino a todos ustedes. Que Dios los bendiga siempre en cada aspecto de sus vidas.

STOPMy dear friend! You've made a very important point in your post today. Yes, sometimes we don't seem to realize how privileged we are, but in a way, people with such a positive energy as yours understand all the phases of life, and that strength is what allows you to face each day and resolve every challenge with grace. I think we always retain some of that youthful innocence, but we do become more mature, especially in our decisions. I want you to be well and keep smiling, no matter how difficult each day may be. A heartfelt hug to you from afar, and thank you for being part of #TBT Thursdays...

Thank you for your words, my friend. The truth is, contrary to what you might think, I've actually been more pessimistic than positive, but time and faith have taught me that positivity is the only tool for surviving when you feel overwhelmed. That's how it is; you have to enjoy every stage of life, embrace it, and savor it to the fullest. May God bless you abundantly and may you be very happy.
