Así despido el año viejo / This is how I bid farewell to the old year
Cuando sean las 12,
las 12, medianoche,
mientras el reloj suena,
yo le diré "adiós" a una célula,
que enfermó a mi perra
y terminó con su vida sin dejar que me despidiera.
When it is 12 o'clock,
12 o'clock, midnight,
as the clock chimes,
I'll say "goodbye" to a cell,
that made my dog sick
and ended her life without letting me say goodbye.

Es que está célula no es normal,
esta enferma y enferma a las demás,
le dicen "cáncer" en todo lugar
y yo hoy la perdono y la dejó marchar.
This cell is not normal,
it's sick and it makes the others sick,
they call it "cancer" everywhere
and today I forgive it and let it go.

Por eso, quise perdonar a esta enfermedad y decirle adiós, con la fe de que Tekila ahora disfruta del cielo y me espera al final del arcoiris. Elaboré este muñeco con papel, no necesité nada más que tijeras, pegamento, algodón, marcadores y papel kraf.
Hello dear friends, we are ending the year and in some Latin countries, for December 31, we make a doll called "old year", which takes everything we want to say goodbye to the year that passed and thus start the new year with the best energies. Thinking about 2023, it was perfect, the only black spot was the illness of my dog Tekila, who died of cancer that filled her body.
Therefore, I wanted to forgive this illness and say goodbye, with the faith that Tekila now enjoys heaven and waits for me at the end of the rainbow. I made this doll with paper, I needed nothing more than scissors, glue, cotton, markers and kraf paper.

The first thing I did was to cut out the shape, which is round and with legs that adhere tightly to the other cells. I painted the details with markers or colors. I put hair, to make it more graceful and it is filled with pieces of paper and cotton, as these materials are easy to moisten with alcohol and then ignite. I made it small, because the idea is to be able to do it at home, without having to go out and that its burning is fast.

These are rituals that are done in Colombia to say goodbye to the year and although it may sound strange to forgive an illness, I feel that humans should forgive every situation that caused us pain, so we can be calmer. So at 12 o'clock at night, when everyone embraces each other and some dance, I will say goodbye to the bad cells, to start 2024 renewed and without sadness.

I say goodbye friends, with much affection, wishing the best for all of you this new year, that you never lack smiles and that you let go of everything that does not make you happy, to start a 2024 full of love, peace, tranquility and ease.

Me encantó la idea. Aquí en Perú también quemábamos muñecos en año nuevo. Aunque ahora lo cambiaron por piñatas, jaja. Abrazotes hasta Colombia.
