🪷 {01/12/25} ✦ "Without contemplation there is no revelation" 📿 🦋 🎑 | Holos&Lotus ✦ 🇪🇸 │ 🇺🇸
✦ On this peaceful afternoon at the end of the year, the words of my very religious elders echo in my head: "Be merciful, to yourself and to others" - Edition in FotoJet, photos by @Tesmoforia ✦
🇪🇸 ~ A medida que se acerca el final de 2025 reflexiono sobre mi lista de metas y deseos por cumplir que me propuse en 2024/2025; cuántos de ellos he cumplido, cuántos quedaran para el próximo año, en cuáles seguir perseverando y cuáles dejar ir con tranquilidad.
🇺🇸 ~ As the end of 2025 approaches, I reflect on my list of goals and wishes for 2024/2025: how many of them I have achieved, how many remain for next year, which ones to continue pursuing, and which ones to let go of with peace of mind.
Tambien he reflexionado sobre algo que aunque suene o se lee obvio, es una pregunta que resuena en mi cabeza por los acontecimientos que han ocurrido a lo largo de 2025, y es qué tipo de persona quiero ser.
I have also reflected on something that, although it may sound or read obvious, is a question that resonates in my mind due to the events that have occurred throughout 2025, and that is what kind of person I want to be.
Quiero decir, yo se quién soy, pero no lo había meditado desde hace tiempo, en todo su significado y reconsiderando todos y cada uno de los rincones que pueda alcanzar esa pregunta. ¿Qué queremos ser más allá de nuestro rol en la familia, trabajo o para quienes nos rodean?, todos queremos ser personas decentes y buenas, ¿pero qué es realmente ser una buena persona?. Quién eres cuando nadie te ve, quien eres cuando crees tener la razón, y qué cosas eres capaz de hacer cuando crees que tienes el derecho sobre una situación o tema.
I mean, I know who I am, but I hadn't thought about it in a long time, in all its meaning and reconsidering each and every corner that question can reach. What do we want to be beyond our role in the family, at work, or for those around us? We all want to be decent, good people, but what does it really mean to be a good person? Who are you when no one is watching, who are you when you think you are right, and what are you capable of doing when you believe you have the right to a situation or issue?
✦ Lately, I haven't been very hungry; I just don't feel like eating anything, but even so, I try to eat healthily and give thanks, knowing that I am fortunate ✦
✦ I have also noticed that during lunch or shortly after, it is easier for me to meditate and concentrate on organizing my thoughts ✦
✦ Perhaps because my family notices that I am not hungry, they give me sweets to cheer me up. I am sorry to worry them ✦
Meditando, ser buena persona no es creer o pensar que lo eres, serlo lo determinaría tus acciones y lo que vas dejando a tu paso, lo que siembras tanto conciente como inconscientemente.
Meditating, being a good person is not believing or thinking that you are one; being one would determine your actions and what you leave behind, what you sow both consciously and unconsciously.
Algunas otras preguntas que se me ocurren relevantes como indicativo creo serían: ¿En qué clase de situaciones te gusta involucrarte?, ¿qué narrativas son especialmente afines contigo?, ¿cómo reaccionas cuando algo no te gusta y crees tener la razón?. Porque debe existir una coherencia entre lo que crees de ti mismo y lo que haces.
Some other questions that come to mind as relevant indicators would be: What kinds of situations do you like to get involved in? What narratives do you particularly relate to? How do you react when you don't like something and believe you are right? Because there must be consistency between what you believe about yourself and what you do.
Actualmente después de mucha introspección, descubrí que enserio quiero procurar ser flexible, no me siento cómoda juzgando a los demás, ni siquiera cuando "las cosas son demasiado obvias". Cada ser humano tiene sus propias luchas y cargas, y me embargan sentimientos de malestar y tristeza cuando recuerdo haber asumido una posición donde todo es negro o blanco, pero jamas gris.
Currently, after much introspection, I have discovered that I really want to try to be flexible. I don't feel comfortable judging others, even when “things are too obvious.” Every human being has their own struggles and burdens, and I am overcome with feelings of discomfort and sadness when I remember taking a position where everything is black or white, but never gray.
Hoy cuando veo una situación difícil mi primer instinto es qué puedo hacer o sugerir para lograr una conciliación entre las partes o aunque sea, mitigar o reducir los efectos negativos de esa situación, porque muchos problemas ocurren y personas son lastimadas por el simple hecho de no darse la oportunidad de escuchar y ser escuchado, y también, cuando se habla de más, cuando se dicen cosas que nada aportan a la resolución y liberación de esa situación difícil.
Today, when I see a difficult situation, my first instinct is to think about what I can do or suggest to achieve reconciliation between the parties or, at the very least, mitigate or reduce the negative effects of that situation, because many problems arise and people get hurt simply because they don't give themselves the opportunity to listen and be heard, and also when they talk too much, when they say things that do nothing to resolve and alleviate that difficult situation.
✦ As I ate this ice cream and was surrounded by the kittens in the house, I reflected intensely on what things I need to correct and reconfigure in myself, in my personality, my way of seeing things, and my attitude toward life. The first thing I was sure of was that I no longer want to judge others or make judgments about others ✦
✦ Even if I believe I am right, one true word can do more harm than you can imagine, even getting out of control; and then you realize that it would have been better not to say anything and let it go ✦
✦ And that's another important issue. Letting go of things. Many situations today find their way and solution through logic and naturalness; it is people's stubbornness that turns a little rain into a hurricane ✦
Yo se que la regulación de los sentimientos es un tema complejo, que las emociones muy intensas pueden abrumarte, pero cuando eres ya un adulto considero que tienes las capacidades suficientes para reconocer que debes respetar a tus semejantes, que es tu deber no permitir que tus sentimientos (ego) te nublen el sentido de responsabilidad, como para no darte cuenta de lo muy equivocado que puedes estar al sumar cosas negativas a una situación ya muy negativa por si sola. Y es que es esa la motivacion de esta reflexión, estoy muy preocupada por todos los conflictos que he presenciado este año a multiples niveles y en diferentes contextos, de la mano de personas que en verdad creen que estan haciendo lo correcto.
I know that regulating feelings is a complex issue, that very intense emotions can overwhelm you, but when you are an adult, I believe you have the capacity to recognize that you must respect your fellow human beings, that it is your duty not to allow your feelings (ego) to cloud your sense of responsibility, so that you do not fail to realize how wrong you can be when you add negative things to a situation that is already very negative on its own. And that is the motivation for this reflection. I am very concerned about all the conflicts I have witnessed this year at multiple levels and in different contexts, involving people who truly believe they are doing the right thing.
Volviendo a la pregunta original de esta nota, sobre qué tipo de persona quiero ser, yo quisiera seguir siendo una persona primordialmente contemplativa, que no siente la necesidad de opinar ni inmiscuirse en todo lo que ve o escucha. Tambien quiero seguir siendo una persona respetuosa, sin importar si los demas son o no respetuosos conmigo (ser reactivo esta de moda y no es una moda que quiera seguir), quiero apreciar la vida y valorarla como lo que es, y ser algo mas que una especie de termómetro moral para mi entorno.
Returning to the original question in this note, about what kind of person I want to be, I would like to continue being a primarily contemplative person, who does not feel the need to give an opinion or interfere in everything they see or hear. I also want to continue being a respectful person, regardless of whether others are respectful to me or not (being reactive is fashionable, and it is not a trend I want to follow). I want to appreciate life and value it for what it is, and be more than just a kind of moral thermometer for my environment.
Puede que suene dicho con ligereza porque las relaciones humanas tienen infinitas aristas, pero como mi naturaleza no es rencorosa para mi mente es natural superar y querer encontrar armonía. Desde lo mas profundo de mi corazón, anhelo y deseo el bienestar de todos porque la naturaleza universal del bienestar, es multiplicarse.
It may sound flippant because human relationships have infinite facets, but as I am not a resentful person by nature, it is natural for me to overcome difficulties and seek harmony. From the bottom of my heart, I long for and desire the well-being of everyone because the universal nature of well-being is to multiply.
Hoy reflexiono que quiero ser un ser humano lo mas coherente posible, sin excusas ni peros, sé que no podemos controlarlo todo pero podemos controlarnos a nosotros mismos y eso es muy poderoso, ser dueño y único responsable de la correspondencia entre quien crees que eres y tus elecciones; para 2026 yo quiero perseverar en un camino y forma de ser pacífico (también en todo lo que sume a mi creatividad) sin importar el ambiente que generen otros en el entorno compartido, vale totalmente el esfuerzo de ser y guardar la serenidad en un momento de nuestra historia donde tantos padecen de ansiedad, y a todos los que la sufren, deseo que pronto encuentren lo que necesitan para tener paz en sus mentes y tranquilidad en sus corazones, para que puedan seguir adelante y perseguir lo que los haga felices 🌻 💛 🐑
Today, I reflect on how I want to be as consistent as possible, without excuses or buts. I know we can't control everything, but we can control ourselves, and that is very powerful—being the owner and sole responsible party for the correspondence between who you think you are and your choices. By 2026, I want to persevere on a peaceful path and way of being (also in everything that adds to my creativity) regardless of the environment that others create in our shared surroundings. it is totally worth the effort to be and maintain serenity at a time in our history when so many suffer from anxiety, and to all those who suffer from it, I hope that you soon find what you need to have peace in your minds and tranquility in your hearts, so that you can move forward and pursue what makes you happy 🌻 💛 🐑
introspection,
and revelation.
no one travels anymore
