Ladies of Hive Community Contest #292 [ESP/ENG]
Portada diseñada por mi en el editor de Canva
It had been a long time since I'd participated in one of these Ladies of Hive contests, and I was really looking forward to it; I missed it. This week's questions really resonated with me in some way.
Yo tenía mucho tiempo sin participar en uno de estos concursos de Ladies of Hive y la verdad es que ya tenía ganas de participar, lo extrañaba. Las preguntas de esta semana me hacen sentir muy identificada de alguna manera.
1️⃣ If a magic genie could grant you one — and only one — wish, what would that wish be, and why?
Si un genio mágico pudiera concederte un (y sólo uno) deseo, ¿Cuál sería ese deseo y por qué?
There are so many things I'd like to have, but with just one wish, it's almost impossible, right? Does it matter if the wish is somewhat far-fetched? Because if so, the list to choose from would be even longer 😄. In that case, I could choose to be rich, but it's already been confirmed that money doesn't buy what we truly need: true love (I don't mean romantic love, but universal love), loyalty, friendship, air, time, life... in short, money becomes useless compared to what is truly essential in life... beauty? Beauty is fleeting and useless. So, if I could choose among the many wishes I have, I would like to be able to see my deceased relatives at least once a year, to be able to get together with them and talk at length, tell them how life is going on Earth, be able to hug them tightly 😥 I think that way I wouldn't miss them so much. As a believer, I know that one day we will all be reunited, but... if I could see them at least once a year, their absence wouldn't hurt so much. Perhaps I could also use the wish to travel to the past, to any era, and enjoy the best moments.
Hay tantas cosas que me gustaría tener pero con tan solo un deseo es casi imposible ¿cierto? ¿No importa si es un deseo algo inverosímil? porque si es así la lista para elegir sería más larga aún 😄. En ese caso, Podría elegir ser rica pero ya está más que confirmado que el dinero no compra lo que realmente necesitamos: amor verdadero (no me refiero al amor romántico sino al amor universal) lealtad, amistad, el aire, el tiempo, la vida... en fin, el dinero se vuelve inútil ante aquello que realmente es esencial en la vida... ¿belleza? la belleza es efímera e inútil, entonces si pudiera elegir entre los tantos deseos que tengo me gustaría poder ver a mis familiares que ya han fallecido al menos una vez cada año, poder reunirme con ellos y hablar largo y tendido, contarles de como la va la vida en la tierra, poder abrazarlos con fuerza 😥 creo que así no los extrañaría tanto. Como creyente que soy sé que un día todos nos reuniremos de nuevo pero... si pudiera verlos al menos una vez por año no dolería tanto la ausencia. Quizá también podría usar el deseo para viajar al pasado, a cualquier época, y disfrutar de los mejores momentos.
2️⃣ Summer, dry season, wet season, or fall — what is your favorite thing about the current season in your country and/or the thing you dislike the most about it?
Verano, estación seca, estación húmeda u otoño: ¿qué es lo que más le gusta de la temporada actual en su país y/o lo que más le desagrada de ella?
Unfortunately, in Venezuela we don't have seasons like in other countries. Here, it only rains for part of the year, and the other part is sunny and bright—that's it, as if it were summer all the time 😄. So I would love to see snow sometime in my life, although there is an area in my country (in the Andes) where it does snow, but I haven't been there in December and January, which is when it snows. Right now, we're in the rainy season, and although it's my favorite time of year (I really enjoy watching the rain fall; it's a habit I inherited from my maternal grandfather), I've had to be outside during a downpour, and it's not pleasant at all. Once, I got caught in a torrential downpour while walking home from work, and to top it off, I had a terrible stomach ache (it was awful 😫). But when you're sheltered at home, and with relaxing music playing, it's very comforting to watch the rain; they're simply two different perspectives. However, I also think about the people whose homes are flooded and that makes me sad; I wish we could all enjoy the rain without problems.
Lamentablemente en Venezuela no contamos con estaciones como en los demás paises, aquí solo llueve durante una parte del año y en la otra tenemos un sol radiante, eso es todo, como si fuese verano todo el tiempo 😄, así que me encantaría poder ver la nieve alguna vez en mi vida, aunque hay una zona en mi país (en los Andes) donde sí cae nieve, pero yo no he ido en diciembre y enero que es cuando neva. Justamente ahora estamos en el período lluvioso, y aunque es mi favorito (disfruto mucho ver la lluvia caer, es una costumbre que heredé de mi abuelo materno) me ha tocado estar afuera durante un aguacero y no es nada agradable. En una ocasión me agarró un aguacero torrencial mientras yo regresaba caminando de mi trabajo y para colmo tenía mucho dolor de vientre (fue terrible 😫) pero cuando estás resguardado en casa y además con música relajante es muy acogedor contemplar la lluvia, simplemente son dos perspectivas diferentes. Sin embargo también pienso en las personas a las que se les inunda su hogar y eso me da tristeza, quisiera que todos pudiéramos disfrutar de la lluvia sin problemas.
Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in this contest, I'll be reading your entries.

Your desire to see family members who have passed on is very moving, as you say, to hug them, and it's hard not to miss them. Also, being able to enjoy the rain without the problems you describe would be wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experiences, @mairene1
Tu deseo de poder ver a los familiares que se han adelantado al final del camino es muy emotivo como dices, para abrazarlos y es difícil no estrañarlos, así como poder disfrutar de la lluvia sin los problemas que nos describes sería genial, gracias por compartir tus experiencias @mairene1

Hello @mairene1. Your story resonated with me because I grew up without both sets of grandparents. All my life I've seen others interact with their grandparents and heard them talk lovingly about them. It's deep rooted feeling of loneliness I have thinking about them and wondering what their lives were growing up. I've so many questions to ask that Ancestry and other programs can't answer.
Thanks for your story. Beautifully written and heartfelt. If only. Take care and have a nice start to your weekend.
