Otro Atardecer

otro atardecer- bad bunny ft the marías

Someone said, "Blue is your favorite color because you keep taking pictures of the sky." It is true, but that is something I had not realized before.

During the day, it is art on an enormous canvas with cloudy doodles, white stains, and muted blues. It reminds me of the ocean and the peace I feel while sailing, as well as my youth on a sunny day, lying on the grass, eagerly anticipating the weekend, with my friends singing and eagerly waiting for noon to return home.

During the night, it becomes a charcoal paper adorned with brilliant points and occasional clouds obscuring its yellow pearl, which humans call the moon. It reminds me of walking through the mountains, the sound of waves in Cancún, and late road trips with my mom and dad.

During the transition between day and night, it explodes with pigments, fires, and rubies, as if someone had taken a bottle of red paint and dust and suddenly thrown it into the sky. It reminds me of last summer, driving back home while listening to "Otro Atardecer" with my sisters beside me, both of whom are named María.

Where are you? You just disappeared, there is still a part of me that you don't know. Because I've been thinking about you, if the life gives me the opportunity I will kiss you again. Time will go, but I will not forget you.

I come from a city called Machala, and I have traveled quite a bit. Yet, I have never felt as relaxed as I did while watching a sunset there. Perhaps I never will, as the feeling of being a carefree teenager will not return.

Passionfruit

*I suggest to listen the song while reading    passionfruit- drake During winter, I visited a fishers' town, strolled along the cold sea, and felt the icy breeze. I plunged into the chilly water and discussed university journeys with my colleagues. As it gets dark early, we began cooking dinner together. "Passionfruit" played smoothly in the background, reassuring me that everything was okay and I had accomplished things beyond my imagination. After the meal, we played a game to see who knew each other better, laughing heartily. Suddenly, around 1 a.m., we decided to go out. Feeling dizzy, we wandered through the city to the only bar in town, which was bustling. We then visited one of the sketchiest clubs I've ever been to. The music was terrible, and the patrons looked dubious, but being with my friends made it an unforgettable night. I pondered whether these friends would remain in my life. By the harbor, I reflected on how, years ago, people set sail from here, nev

Never Let You Go

*I would suggest to listen the song while reading   -never let you go- kygo ft. john newman This is dedicated to the ones who are no longer with us. Those people whose voices or smells one day we will forget. Time is so harmful and the mind is so fragile that sometimes we cannot store all the amazing things in our head. To my grandparents, uncles, cousins, friends, pets, and all the people who have left this world, I wish I could have shared more time with you. I wish I could have shared another meal or laugh, my graduation, and my successes. But your time with me already taught me enough - enough to be stronger, wiser, and thankful for every second on this earth. Even if you do not believe it, you are a part of me. You have already set one brick on my life wall. I was 11 when my grandfather on my dad's side passed away. I felt so miserable for not having treated him better. I still remember how he raised me and when he used to show me his biceps, a symbol of his hard work life. I

Freeze

*I suggest to listen the song while reading  -freeze- kygo Is your first time listening this song. Lying on your bed, you gaze at the ceiling, reminiscent of a horizon - a uniform expanse of color with the lights of your room softly illuminating the space. It feels like a serene and tranquil night, accompanied by warm weather. As you contemplate the rapid passage of life, memories of yesterday, recent weeks, past months, and previous years flood your mind. While you cannot recall every moment, a medley of emotions emerges. You recall the first time your mother left you at school, the nervous anticipation of a competition that ended with your victory, and the profound experience of expressing your feelings to someone else. Cherished and somber moments intertwine within your thoughts. You feel the insignificance of your presence in the vastness of the universe's existence. You sense that one day your loved ones will be gone, and perhaps you will find yourself seated in a wheelchair,
