Ladies of Hive Contest #205 // The Footprint I Wish to Leave Marked [ENG/SPA]
2️⃣ Our life is like a journey, it is full of moments, some more memorable than others, pause for a moment to think, if you would be at the end of the road, what are the footprints you wish to leave?
As I read this my head started to remember every situation, every moment of my life that I knew and didn't know how to cope, every thing I learned, every reaction, emotion, word I gave to someone and/or something in particular.
At my young age I have been through many things, which hurt or not, have taught me to see from different perspectives and have shown me another way to walk, no matter if I made mistakes or not along the way.
I feel that all that teaching allows me today to be able to talk about some of those things I have lived through and to be able to explain what I did, how I realized it, how I went on with my life after that and what I learned.
I am aware that we all go through many things but we do not all express ourselves in the same way, we do not cope in the same way, there will always be someone with more experience, more advice to help, with another way of seeing things and all that is fine. We all come to learn, to teach, to live... it doesn't matter who can do more or not, but the fact of not wasting those opportunities to show others a little of our experiences, sometimes, it may not mean much to some or the subject that is shown may not be so deep, but even if we don't realize it, it can help someone else.
I always asked myself “why is that happening to me?” No matter how much I taught myself later on to know what to do in the future, I always had the doubt of what else I could do with what I had learned and one day I realized it because of my mom.
We had both gone through a similar situation in love and in the end we had both cried, but she for the first time asked for my point of view and advice because she saw that I was taking my own situation differently and she didn't understand why.
It took me a while to explain what had really happened to me and how I dealt with it, but she listened calmly and started to put into practice what I was doing. From then on I noticed a change in her, she smiled more and was finally taking care of herself and enjoying her moment.
This example may not mean anything to some people or it may not be something deep or moving, but for me it did, and not only because it was my mother, but because I was able to “help”, that in spite of her age or experience, I was able to collaborate, to be part of her development in that painful process she was going through. That's when I understood that no matter who you are, what experience you have, or whatever, there will always be someone who can give and/or receive a hand in the process and show other ways. That's when I realized that I could help someone else with what I experienced.
It doesn't matter who the person is, it is the fact of leaving that small mark to someone who needs it or not, but at some point it will be useful.
It doesn't matter if we already went through what someone else went through, there is always a lot to learn and teach.
That is one of the marks I want to leave, everything I learned. I want to contribute from that little by little, the fact that it serves someone to improve their life path or simply bring a smile to their face, that's what I want to leave.
No matter how painful or not my process has been, I want to be part of an improvement for those people who need it and if I can make them smile again, then I will have done some good.
This is a little bit part of my way of thinking, which in itself, is part of my life. There are things I can tell and things I'm not ready for yet, but I strive to do it so that I can free myself and help others.
This is part of me and part of what I want to leave in my path even if it comes to an end.

2️⃣ Nuestra vida es como un viaje, está llena de momentos, algunos más memorables que otros, detente un momento a pensar, si estuvieras al final del camino, ¿cuáles son las huellas que desearías dejar?
Al leer esto mi cabeza empezó a recordar cada situación, cada momento de mi vida que supe y no supe sobrellevar, cada cosa aprendida, cada reacción, emoción, palabra que le di a alguien y/o algo en particular.
A mi corta edad he pasado por muchas cosas, las cuales duelan o no, me han enseñado a ver desde diferentes perspectivas y me han mostrado otra manera de caminar por más que me equivoque o no en el camino.
Siento que toda esa enseñanza me permite al día de hoy poder hablar sobre algunas de todas esas cosas vividas y poder explicar qué hice yo, cómo me di cuenta, cómo seguí con mi vida después de eso y qué aprendí.
Soy consciente que todos pasamos por muchas cosas pero no todos nos expresamos igual, no lo sobrellevamos de igual manera, siempre habrá alguien con más experiencia, más consejos para ayudar, con otra manera de ver las cosas y todo eso está bien. Todos venimos a aprender, enseñar, vivir… no importa quien pueda más o no, sino el hecho de no desperdiciar esas oportunidades de poder mostrarle a los demás un poco de nuestras vivencias, a veces, puede que no signifique mucho para algunos o que el tema que se muestre no sea tan profundo, pero eso aunque no nos demos cuenta, puede ayudar a otra persona.
Yo siempre me preguntaba “¿por qué me pasa eso?” Por más que me enseñaba luego a saber qué hacer en un futuro, siempre tenía la duda de qué más podría hacer con lo aprendido y un día me di cuenta a raíz de mi mamá.
Ambas habíamos pasado una situación parecida en el amor y al final habíamos llorado las dos, pero por primera vez me pidió mi punto de vista y un consejo porque veía que yo estaba tomando mi propia situación de otra manera y ella no entendía el por qué.
Me llevó tiempo explicarle lo que me había pasado realmente y como lo afronté, pero escuchó tranquilamente y empezó a poner en práctica lo que yo hacía. De ahí en adelante noté un cambio en ella, sonreía más y por fin se estaba ocupando de ella misma y disfrutar de su momento.
Este ejemplo puede ser que para algunos no signifique nada o que no sea algo profundo o conmovedor, pero para mi si y no solo por el hecho de que se trataba de mi madre, sino por el hecho de que yo pude “ayudar”, de que a pesar de la edad o la experiencia que ella tuviese, yo pude colaborar, ser parte de su desarrollo en ese proceso doloroso por el que ella estaba pasando. Ahí entendí que no importa quien sea, que experiencia tenga, o lo que sea siempre habrá alguien que pueda dar y/o recibir una mano en el proceso y mostrar otras maneras. Ahí me di cuenta que podía ayudar a otra persona con lo que viví.
No importa quien sea la persona, es el hecho de dejar esa pequeña marca a alguien que lo necesite o no, pero en algún momento le sirva.
No importa si ya pasamos lo mismo que alguien más, siempre queda mucho que aprender y enseñar.
Esa es una de las huellas que quiero dejar marcadas, todo lo que aprendí. Quiero aportar de eso poco a poco, el hecho de que le sirva a alguien para mejorar su camino de vida o simplemente le saque una sonrisa, eso quiero dejar.
No importa que tan doloroso o no haya sido mi proceso, quiero ser parte de una mejora para aquellas personas que necesiten y si logro que vuelvan a sonreír, entonces habré hecho un bien.
Esto es un poco parte de mi manera de pensar, que en sí, es parte de mi vida. Hay cosas que puedo contar y cosas que todavía no estoy lista, pero me esfuerzo por lograrlo para así poder liberarme yo y ayudar al otro.
Esto es parte de mi y parte de lo que quiero ir dejando en mi camino aún aunque llegue a su final.

Wisdom does not always go hand in hand with age, because at a young age you can have a lot of life experience, and there are those who have a long time of life with short experiences (and I have crashed a lot with that, hahaha) ~
Your example with the situation you share with us about you and your mom is an example of that 👏 and how great to know that first, not only you had the ability to support her with your advice but she asked your opinion, that's so wow, in my environment not many older people accept advice and education, being younger you keep quiet because of manners.
I really liked your note Mariana, I hope with all my heart that life compensates you for those bad times and that there are still many moments of happiness in your path, no matter what it may be 🥂 💐
I agree with you, I have come across people like that and regardless of age, sometimes it's better to keep quiet out of manners, but it's good when, regardless of age, they also want to know your point of view and that is nice.
Thank you so much for reading and giving me your opinion, I also appreciate your good wishes and I wish the same for you in a multiplied way! 🌺💗
Hola, creo que por todo eso que dices que has pasado te ha vuelto una mujer fuerte, con la voluntad de ayudar a otras mujeres que han pasado por tu misma situación. Es muy agradable leerte. Yo he leído otros de tus post en la comunidad. Te mando un fuerte abrazo desde Cuba. Saludos 🤗.
Te agradezco las palabras, me alegra que hayas leído, muchas gracias! Saludos belleza!
