Human ingenuity or, my delusions at two in the morning.

Siendo sincero creo que todas las personas que han inventado algo lo hacen porque no podían dormir y se quedaban mirando al techo, ese techo que utilizaron para desatar todas esas barbaridades y ridiculeces que imaginamos en la soledad de nuestra habitación, pero que en algún momento pueden convertirse en algo realmente interesante y diferente a lo que solemos ver y si tenemos un poco de suerte y en el caso de unos pocos afortunados cien millones de dólares, puede convertirse en una realidad.

Algo que me han dicho toda la vida es que ninguna idea es estúpida, es realmente estúpido quien la desperdicia. De hecho, muchos inventos se crearon por error, como la penicilina o el microondas, o algunos otros empezaron como algo, pero luego descubrieron que podían usarse para otra cosa, como la Coke, que empezó como una medicina y se convirtió en la deliciosa bebida carbonatada que nos hace daño pero que no puede faltar en una fiesta. Podría decir muchas cosas, pero en serio, los inventos humanos generalmente surgen de una idea que puede sonar súper estúpida. Por ejemplo, para crear mi invento en un momento de locura y caos mental decidí que si no se me ocurría algo útil iba a buscar la manera de hacer ropa con cáscaras de piña, obviamente lo dije en broma. ¿Quién diría eso en serio? Lo primero que me viene a la mente si alguien dice eso es que gracias a esa persona voy a tener el disfraz de Bob Esponja de mis sueños para Halloween. ¿Adivinan qué? A un tonto ya se le había ocurrido antes que a mí y ahora mismo está ganando un montón de dinero haciendo ropa con fibra de piña. ¿Sabes cuál es la diferencia entre él y yo? Exactamente, tenía una idea tonta, pero él decidió seguir adelante con la suya, que al principio parecía tonta, y yo me reí y dije que era demasiado tonta. Así que la próxima vez que se te ocurra una idea que te parezca muy tonta, mejor anótala, porque podría ser una idea millonaria y, si no la llevas a cabo, ¿quién será el tonto ahora? Ya te lo advertí.

Relationships or, sailing in the infinite sea of possibilities.

Relationships are something very, Very, VERY complicated, you never know when you may meet someone, and you never know if that person you barely met may become the next person who knows everything about you. There are many types of relationships, for example, those you have with your neighbors, I get along well with my neighbors, so much so that I think that in addition to being neighbors, they are already friends, we help each other in everything we can, when my family got sick from COVID -19 there in 2020, they were not afraid of us, nor did they distance themselves from us for that reason, on the contrary, they did the shopping for us and helped us in whatever they could, they even made us food, they were very good, that's it when you are grateful for that family that you get along the way. Other types of relationships are those you make at work, in my case at school, my colleagues, my teachers, and the workers within the institution, I also get along well with the...

Porcelain doll, What are you hiding behind the door?

Photo by Alexander Suhorucov from PEXEL One of the great evils in the world is always trying to pretend because if you don't fit the standards, the world decides to mold you to preference. Another very big problem is accepting our appearance, especially when it is not what is commonly found in the expected standards, people are filled with advertising, advertisements, and commercials full of beautiful, aesthetically beautiful people, women with beautiful hair with bee waist and perfect tan; muscular, tall and manly men. In social networks, perfect skin prevails, generally created with makeup and beautiful faces that are far from common reality, it is when in the heads of people, especially young people, a small bee begins to hover that carries with it a question. and that it will be able to grow, grow, and grow until it becomes the biggest bee you have ever seen, and with it the doubt grows: Am I not a pretty person? Currently, many movements promote the acceptance of all types...

Identities or, the hard work of being yourself.

When we grow up we start to have a little freedom, we express what we like and what is no longer our type, we start to go out with more people, now we have friends, my friend Roberto likes pizza, Sofia doesn't like fish, Agustín says that the best racing video game is Gran Turismo 6, Clara believes that Morat is the best band of all, but Alejandra tells her that Imagine Dragons is a thousand times better, I lean more toward Sofía's opinion, but I think the Cuarteto de Nos sounds better, sometimes I wonder what made Clara think that Morat is one of the best bands and why I don't think the same, or why Akemy says that the best music is salsa, although I agree which is because it is his family's favorite music, whenever you pass by his house they have "Rebelión" at full volume while his father d...
