"interior designer reviews architects plans"

Such a great and insightful series, fun to watch (if one is interested in the topic, which I am)!

(The original architects should be ashamed about creating so "sluggish" floorplans!

What will littleFedi's official-ish Plushie end up being ?

Whatever it is,

I want one.

Or two.

Or a few.

Getting old isn't a problem...

English

Aging is not a problem; it is a natural part of life,
like becoming young after childhood, like becoming
an adult and maturing after adolescence and youth.
Aging is not a problem; it is a transition like the
others. One hardly notices the passage of time, and
suddenly, one day, you are there, at the threshold of old age.
You begin to walk more slowly, to expect less from life
and from people; you have less strength, both physical
and moral. But you also understand many things more deeply.
You begin to feel more tired, yet also more at peace.
You have fewer ambitions, but also fewer fantasies.
Aging is not a problem; the problem lies in not realizing it,
being unable to accept it, or fearing it. One might fear
entering this stage because one knows it is the last;
there is no other age to follow. It is the final crisis,
the final transformation. One is afraid because one knows
there is no next chapter; afterwards, the end simply
arrives, everything comes to a close. That is the fear.
Perhaps as children we fear becoming adults because,
in some way, we sense there is an end, even though
we have only just begun.
Even so, we can move from one stage to the next with
a certain pride and great hope. But in this stage, old age,
there is no "after," no next destination.
And we begin to take stock: lamenting what never came to be,
knowing it never will, that there are no more chances,
and lamenting what did happen, because it wasn't enough.
The cookies in the tin run out; the chocolates in the
fridge door are gone. The glories, the struggles, and
even the drive to keep going gradually fade away.
Then, one wishes to tell children and grandchildren
to think carefully about everything, to make good decisions,
and to take care of themselves, because one day they
will reach this station, and the luggage they carry will be
either what they have dragged along all their lives
or what they have let go. This final chapter will be
strongly determined by all the preceding ones.
At every step of the way, we shape our ultimate destiny.

No es problema envejecer...

No es problema envejecer, es parte natural de la vida,
como hacerse joven después de la infancia, como hacerse
adulto y madurar después de la adolescencia y juventud.
No es problema envejecer, es una transición como las
anteriores. Uno casi ni se da cuenta del paso del tiempo y
de repente un día ya está allí, en la puerta de la vejez. Uno
empieza a caminar más lento, a esperar menos de la vida
y de la gente, se tiene menos fuerza, física y moral. Pero
también se entienden muchas cosas más profundamente.
Uno se empieza a sentir más cansado pero también más
tranquilo. Se tienen menos ambiciones pero también
menos fantasías.
No es problema envejecer, el problema es no darse
cuenta, no poder aceptarlo, tenerle miedo. Se puede tener
temor de entrar en esta etapa porque uno sabe que es la
última, no hay otra edad después, es la última crisis, la
última transformación, uno tiene miedo porque sabe que
después no hay otro capítulo, después simplemente viene
el final, se termina todo. Ese es el miedo.
Quizás de niños tememos ser adultos porque de algún
modo intuimos que hay un final y recién hemos empezado.
Aún así se puede pasar con cierto orgullo y con mucha
esperanza de una etapa a otra. Pero en esta, la vejez, no
hay un después, no hay siguiente destino.
Y empezamos a hacer balance, lamentar lo que no fue,
sabiendo que ya no será, que no hay más chances,
lamentar lo que fue, porque no fue suficiente. Se acaban
las galletas en la lata, los chocolates en la puerta de la
heladera. Se van terminando las glorias, las luchas y hasta
las ganas.
Entonces uno quisiera decirles a los hijos y los nietos que
piensen bien cada cosa, que tomen buenas decisiones, que
se cuiden, porque un día van a llegar a esta estación y su
equipaje va a ser el que hayan arrastrado toda la vida o el
que hayan soltado. Este último capítulo va a estar
fuertemente determinado por todos los anteriores. En
cada parte del camino, amasamos el destino final.

I was thinking that there's a feature on LittleFedique I haven't used or explored that would be interesting since I've been writing since I was a child. Pressed by my daughter and younger sister, I'm curating some of my writing and poems to publish something. They're taking care of it since I don't really feel like doing anything. My daughter is a linguistics and literature teacher and a writer (just like her father), and my sister also writes and has contacts with writers from my country. Well, I do too, but it's been many years since I've seen any of them.
So I'd like to share some things on the blog, as a way to practice. I'll do it in Spanish, my native language, and also translated into English. For translations, I use several online translators and then correct them based on my own self-taught knowledge of English.
In other words, try LittleFedi as a writer's blog.

@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com I was putting together a little list of some of my favorite jazz artists for @tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one when I remembered an extraordinary jazz-hop act that you should check out for something unlike anything you've ever heard (unless you happened to come across this one before):

One of the most unique records I've had the pleasure of adding to my eclectic collection of musical treasures 🪎
