SPARKLES
Sparks,
electrical connections,
dazzling strange world.
Disguised as humans,
peacocks,
jeweled,
dressed,
to please,
to love each other,
to feel good.
Covering to beautify,
to connect us, to introduce us,
to be business cards,
to love each other.
Choices,
sought-after rags,
outfits to show ourselves,
to achieve being ourselves.
Garments to sparkle,
to dazzle,
to be
the best
we can be,
showing the superficial side,
to show a side of our life,
to feel that we have a second skin,
that skin, those fabrics that make us even more ourselves.
Dedicating time to dazzle with the sparkles of living,
to be as we want in every moment.

CHISPORROTEOS
Chispazos,
eléctricas conexiones,
deslumbrador mundo extraño.
Disfrazados de humanos,
pavos reales,
enjoyados,
vestidos,
para gustar,
para amarnos,
para sentirnos bien.
Cubriendo para embellecer,
para conectarnos, para presentarnos,
para ser tarjetas de visita,
para amarnos.
Elecciones,
buscados trapos,
vestuarios para mostrarnos,
para conseguir ser nosotros mismos.
Ropajes para chisporrotear,
para deslumbrar,
para ser
lo mejor
que podemos ser,
mostrando el lado superficial
para mostrar un lado nuestro de la vida,
para sentirnos que tenemos una segunda piel,
esa piel, esas telas que nos hacen aún más nosotros.
Dedicando tiempo a deslumbrar con los chisporroteos de vivir,
para ser como queremos en cada momento.

To be ourselves is becoming more and more of a privilege. Nicely written
Thank you, Soren. It truly is a privilege.
Sometimes we need those external sparkles and second skins just to protect and reveal who we really are inside.
You are most welcome Carlos to be oneself requires bravery
Absolutely, Soren. It takes a lot of courage to just be who we are. Thanks for the insight!
Always my pleasure my friend.
Good write C.
Thanks, Orchidee! Glad you enjoyed it.
What a joyful and thoughtful piece, Carlos! Fashion becomes both presentation and revelation...a chosen surface through which identity, confidence, and connection become visible. Sometimes becoming ourselves begins with deciding how we wish to appear. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you, Tristan! You nailed it—sometimes that "chosen surface" is exactly how we start showing our true colors.
Always love your perspective.
