Changes that don't come | Thoughts

Change is the only thing that is constant. Nature changes sometimes silently and slowly, trying not to be perceived, sometimes abruptly and overwhelmingly, as when there is a volcanic eruption, a tsunami, a tornado, scaring everyone who contemplates it, but changes are what is always there and remains.

Cambios que no llegan | Reflexiones

El cambio es lo único que es constante. La naturaleza cambia a veces en silencio y despacio intentando no ser percibida, otras veces de forma brusca y avasallante como cuando se produce una erupción volcánica, un tsunami, un tornado, asustando a todo el que lo contemple, pero los cambios es lo que siempre está y permanece.

When I think of changes, I smile because I like them. Even though the event may be unfortunate, I look for ways to view it positively. I believe that to change is to move forward and grow, even if it hurts, I think that whoever adapts to change will be the one who best takes advantage of any situation. What is the point of resisting change? Yes, it's going to happen anyway, but being a lover of change doesn't mean that it will happen to me, not from my point of view.

Cuando pienso en los cambios, sonrío porque me gustan. Aunque el evento pueda ser desafortunado, busco la forma de verlo positivamente. Considero que cambiar es avanzar y crecer aunque duela, pienso que quien se adapte a los cambios será quien mejor saque ventaja a cualquier situación. ¿De qué sirve resistirse a los cambios? Sí, de igual forma, va a suceder, pero ser amante de los cambios no significa que me ocurran, no desde mi punto de vista.

In the last 20 years my life and environment has not had significant changes, frustrating me in a way that you can't imagine, nothing has changed; not for the better, the neighborhood where I lived is still the same, with the same deteriorated streets, and the houses without physical improvements, at most some houses get a touch of color to their walls every 5 years, and I say I lived because since 4 years ago I returned to my grandmother's house to take care of her and that is where I grew up and spent my childhood until adolescence, is another community that has no changes that I could mention.

When a community changes its environment is because it is advancing, progressing, but I will talk about my personal environment, I came to this house after the people who used to live here left, without the minimum sense of belonging and gratitude for the roof that sheltered them without any price, they deteriorated all the spaces and step by step with the help of my mother and brother, we were restoring and solving the problems of this environment.

En los últimos 20 años mi vida y entorno no ha tenido cambios significativos, frustrándome de una forma que no se imaginan, nada ha cambiado; no para mejor, el barrio donde vivía sigue igual, con las mismas calles deterioradas, y las viviendas sin mejoras físicas, cuando mucho a algunas casas le dan un cariño de color a sus paredes cada 5 años, y digo vivía porque desde hace 4 regrese a la casa de mi abuela para poder cuidarla y es donde crecí y pase mi infancia hasta la adolescencia, es otra comunidad que tampoco tiene cambios que pudiera mencionar.

Cuando una comunidad cambia su entorno es porque está avanzando, progresando, pero hablaré de mi entorno personal, llegue a esta casa después que se fueran las personas que antes vivían aquí, sin el mínimo sentido de pertenencia y agradecimiento por el techo que los cobijo sin precio alguno, deterioraron todos los espacios y paso a paso con la ayuda de mi mamá y hermano, fuimos restaurando y solucionando los problemas de este ambiente.

Today I feel better with a more pleasant space, the road is long, so I go step by step. I would like to say that I am happy in my environment, but I would be lying: the house where I live is very big and needs maintenance, especially in winter time. There is weeding to be done and it is hard work that awaits me alone.

And just as my environment has not changed much in the last 20 years, neither have my personal experiences, but that is a subject for another publication. Since I don't want to keep complaining, let's just say that there have been no changes in my community because we have not yet learned the lesson of choosing better leaders, and that for there to be change you have to move proactively and that, as cliché as it sounds, real change starts with you.

Hoy en día me siento mejor con un espacio más agradable, el camino es largo, así que voy paso a paso. Quisiera decir que estoy feliz en mi entorno, pero mentiría: la casa donde vivo es muy grande y necesita de mantenimiento, sobre todo en época de invierno. Hay que desmalezar y es un trabajo duro que me espera a mí solita.

Y así como no hay fuertes cambios de mi entorno en los últimos 20 años, tampoco lo hay en experiencias personales, pero eso es tema para otra publicación. Como no quiero seguir quejándome, digamos que no se han dado cambios en mi comunidad porque aún no hemos aprendido la lección de escoger mejores líderes ademas para que exista un cambio hay que moverse proactivamente y que, aunque suene a cliché, el verdadero cambio empieza por uno.

All the images are from the streets of my community, from today. This is my current environment, the same streets that saw me grow up and now grow old.

Todas las imagenes son de las calles de mi comunidad del dia de hoy, este es mi entorno actual, las mismas calles que me vieron crecer y ahora envejecer 🥹

It is sad when we see how time passes and we are like paralyzed and dawning at the same starting point.
But the power of change is in us, my friend, so don't get discouraged, because at some point you will get off the ground.


Es triste cuando vemos como pasa el tiempo y estamos como paralizados y amaneciendo en el mismo punto de partida.
Pero el poder del cambio está en nosotros, amigo, así que no te desanimes, porque en algún momento despegarás.

Changes are inevitable, and tend to come at one point in or another, it's quite dishearting that your community has experience and changes in the last few years.

Sometimes down here we're usually at the mercy of the rich citizens who deemed it fit to implement some changes, other than that most of the leaders care less, the only leader who implemented the major changes in our community was deprived of the opportunity to run a second term by his political party, making us wonder what would have been had he been opportune to run again, maybe we would have been better than we presently.

However, we're grateful for life and should take it upon ourselves to bring in leaders that ahs empathy of the People at at.

Looking at the photos of your street, I must say that your part isn't much difference from ours!

Thanks for giving us an insight about your community.

When there are no good leaders the community stuffers, individuals are limited and hence no change.
But in all just be grateful for life💞
