I finished the boat race painting today!

ID: a digital painting of a boat race in bright colours. Three dinghies are sailing close together from right to left creating some spray at the bows. The first boat is bright pink, the second a bright cyan, and the third a bright yellow. Each boat has highlights in the colours of the other two boats. In the background is a hillside covered in green trees, accented in yellow and blue. The sky is blue with deep purple clouds /end ID

This whole project and revisiting my old writings, photographs and drawing has filled me with many many thoughts.

I'm very proud of this picture. I love it. Because in my head and memory, this day is not gray at all. It's filled with laughter, the typical family jokes, having a boat ride, you know, I would even bet it was a Sunday. It felt like a Sunday, summer (even though it's autumn), family day. And yet here is this picture so gloomy, dark, cold, windy, fucking cloudy day.

Sometimes I wonder, did I feel that way inside too?

Was is sort of capturing what my soul was at that moment? I thought about how I said (to myself in an internal monologue) that photography is about capturing the moments, and yet many, many of my pictures were taking in a rush. A lot of them was in the middle of doing touristy things or in the way to other more important stuff. More often than not with weird backgrounds, never levelled, blurry af. I love those.

Was this like that? Just a random shot that turned out good cause it feels nostalgically and angst? Sometimes shit ain't that deep. WTF did I know? I was 17yo back then and thought I would become a doctor by 25. I was happy AND excited about passing the exam for medschool.

Maybe that shot was just that, a shot. Nothing else to search for in it, no deeper meaning.

Although, my dusty old long lost labcoat might say, that it was "Cronicas de una Muerte Anunciada" or in English, Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Which, according to the google AI is not as commonly used in english so here are some fucking synonyms.

Believe me, I'm more Bye-Lingual than bilingual.

English Equivalents:

If you are looking for other English idioms and phrases that convey a similar meaning, you can use:

An accident waiting to happen: Something with obvious flaws that is bound to fail eventually.

The writing is on the wall: A clear indication that failure or disaster is imminent.

A foregone conclusion: A result that is obvious long before it happens.

Coming events cast their shadows before: Early signs suggest what will happen in the future.

Buenos días

El 27 de Junio del 2020, fue la primera vez que me subí a un velero para hacer un curso de iniciación con mujeres a la mar, en el sailor moon.

En medio de la pandemia y de un momento clave en mi vida, acercarme al mar fue todo un acierto.

En esa primera salida vino un delfín a saludarnos y mi corazón se sentía lleno de alegría. En aquel entonces me parecía todo un reto aprender a navegar.

Hoy estoy en mi tercer año haciendo una travesía cruzando el mar mediterráneo, disfrutando de la maravilla que es la madre Naturaleza, acompañándonos delfines, amaneceres, atardeceres, soles, lunas, estrellas, y de personas que me hacen llenar de experiencias y recuerdos inolvidables, silenciosos mágicos, risas y momentos súper divertidos y aprendizajes increíbles…

Nunca había conocido a una mujer que supiese navegar y manejar un velero y tuviese la valentía de atravesar los mares y de enfrentarse a numerosas aventuras de todo tipo… y sinceramente me alegro de encontrar esa mujer en mí, me siento muy agradecida por lo que la vida me ofrece y me muestra, por la realidad que se crea a mi paso, que hace que me sienta tan dichosa, cumpliendo objetivos, logrando metas y alcanzando sueños, mientras disfruto de la vida.
