Echoes
I stepped carefully around the corner, the familiar sights and sounds hitting me like a brick to the face. My eyes watered. I could practically see us, all of us, back then, clustered around the outdoor tables in front of the pizza shop, the bar, the coffee shop. I could smell the various stalls from the events we’d been to on this street. I could taste the churros and nachos.

Language shapes identity — and you’ve turned what once felt isolating into something expansive. That kind of transformation is no small thing. Thank you for sharing your heart and your history. "I am redeemed" and "I am" are two on the top of my list of favorite songs.
Power to you
Hugs to all
I know a bit of Spanish, learning a new language is hard, I admire those who master it. You seem to have mastered a few, well done.
