Échame el Cuento: llené mí pared de ilusiones [ESP/ENG]

Hello to everyone in the Mundo Hispano community! Today I'm joining the initiative of "Échame el cuento", which is brought to you by @brujita18 and @annafenix. So this time I come with a lot of desire to participate because the theme of this week awakens many memories of my childhood/adolescence: what poster of your favorite artist/figure did you decorate your room with? And I do have a few things to tell about it, so join me in this anecdote.

When I was about 6-8 years old, I liked to decorate my bedroom space (it wasn't a room for me alone, it was shared), specifically the side of my bed (one wall), with drawings I made and stickers (the kind that come in the albums) of some cartoons that I liked. It wasn't much, but I liked it and I also left a lot of stuffed animals that slept with me every night. I liked to watch all those figures and i imagined thousands of stories while I fell asleep. When I was about 10-12 years old, i started to feel much more enthusiastic about wanting to get some kind of image that was of higher quality.

Ese deseo de mejorar mi pared se vió motivado por un fanatismo intenso que tenía por el anime "Naruto". Yo amaba ese anime. Recuerdo que no tenía como verlo y tenía que esperar un año completo para que lo transmitieran en los canales públicos de mí país (solo lo pasaban en las vacaciones). Así que yo procuraba recolectar toda la información, todos los objetos y cosas que pudieran "darme algo" de ese anime. Así es cómo un buen día un amigo de mi hermana (quién también amaba Naruto), nos invitó a una convención de Anime que se daría en nuestro municipio. Allí pude conocer lo que era un stand lleno de pequeños objetos que me hacían muchísima ilusión. Menos mal ahorraba de mis recreos y pude hacerme de una colección de chapas, una bandana y entre mi mamá y mi papá me compraron unos 2 poster. Yo estaba muy feliz.

Así es cómo Naruto estuvo conmigo un buen tiempo. Realmente me gustaba verlo porque me llenaba de mucha emoción, de una energía de puro optimismo, diversión y fuerza. El personaje de Naruto es él de un niño que a pesar de la más terrible adversidad, sonreía, no se rendía y daba todo por él y por los otros. Yo creo que pocos personajes lograron ese bonito efecto y hoy recuerdo con cariño todas esas cositas que cómo niña me dieron mucha felicidad. Así que amigos míos, está es mi historia. Muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí y leer. Les envío un fuerte abrazo y nos vemos en la próxima oportunidad.

That desire to improve my wall was motivated by an intense fanaticism I had for the anime "Naruto". I loved that anime. I remember that I had no way to watch it and I had to wait a whole year for it to be broadcasted on public channels in my country (it was only shown during vacations). So I tried to collect all the information, all the objects and things that could "give me something" of that anime. That's how one day a friend of my sister's (who also loved Naruto), invited us to an Anime convention that would take place in our town. There I was able to see a stand full of small objects that made me very excited. Luckily I was saving from my breaks and I was able to get a collection of badges, a bandana and between my mom and dad they bought me about 2 posters. I was very happy.

That's how Naruto stayed with me for a long time. I really liked watching him because he filled me with a lot of emotion, with an energy of pure optimism, fun and strength. Naruto's character is that of a boy who despite the most terrible adversity, smiled, didn't give up and gave everything for himself and for others. I believe that few characters achieved that beautiful effect and today I remember with affection all those little things that as a child gave me a lot of happiness. So my friends, this is my story. Thank you very much for stopping by and reading. I send you a big hug and I'll see you next time.
