cambiu / change

¿Cuánto lleva un cambiu? Una medalla por un segundu, una carrera por cinco años, unes canes por tola vida... Los cambios pa los que trabayamos, tienin fecha de caducidá. Y son esnidiosos. ¿Qué me diríes si, dempués del cambiu, vieres que ye too igual? Llegasti a esi llugar onde tanto naguabes tar, ganasti`l premiu que tanto preparares, y tuvisti tolos títulos que queríes y más. Agora, yes otru.
Tas sentáu al sol y nun replicaríes si tuviere orbayando. La medalla, podíes tirala al regatu y tovía mañana habría que madrugar pa dir trabayar. Y entós, ¿ a ú ta la diferencia? L`alma, la chispa, la gracia. Nun ye daqué que nos pase. El cambiu sal de dientro y poro, siempre somos distintos y siempre somos nós.

How long does a change take? A medal for a second, a degree for five years, some white hairs for a whole life... The changes we work for have a date to be preserved. And are elusive.
What would you say if after the change you saw everything is the same? You arrived to this place you longed for so much, won the prize for which you worked hard and obtained whatever diploma you wished for.
Now, you are a different person.
You are lying in the sun but would not complain if it was raining. Your medal, you could as well throw it to the stream and you would still wake up the next morning for another working day. So then, where does the difference lie? The core of it, the spark. It is not something that happens to us. The change springs from inside and so, were are always different but always ourselves.
