Heat. Heat. What if I mess up completely. What if my voice cracks.What if I forget everything I'd practiced for weeks and just stand here like a deer in headlights. Actually, you know what. Scratch that.What if I don't mess up. What if I nail this perfectly, hit every point, get a standing ovation, and yet feel absolutely nothing. Because that's the scarier question, isn't it.Right now, a part of me is floating somewhere around the back of this room, watching this nervous kid on the podium and thinking, "Wh ...

So when I was 2 years old, my parents had just moved to a new town, my dad would take me along this certain path to all the shops and everything. So one day uh I mean I didn't really know the names of the streets, but I knew the turns, the smells, the feel of it, right. So one day my parents had left me with the neighbors and I decided to retrace this path all by myself.No plan, no map, just a tiny human with maximum confidence. I walked for maybe two, three kilometers, utterly convinced that I could come b ...

Who were you. 10 years ago, who are you today. And more importantly, who will you be tomorrow.If you think the answer is obvious, let me tell you, you do not know who you will be because identity is a river, not a stone. I was that obedient child, ever eager to please my parents, teachers, and a lovable friend to many, matter of pride perhaps. But what about that childhood fun and freedom that I silently forfeited.Then came university. I stepped out of my serious tag and explored fun, freedom and a bit of r ...

[music] So there I was, flat on my bed, thumb locked in a marathon with the endless scroll. You know the kind of boredom I'm talking about, but even switching apps feels like a workout. I was bored out of my mind.Absolutely nothing to do. And of course, my parents were in the background on repeat. Get off your phone.Go do something productive. Go outside and touch grass. Yeah, no thanks.Here's the thing. Productivity to me always sounded like a tax form in human form. It reminded me of grown-ups in suits.5- ...

Heat. Heat. Some of the most defining moments of my life didn't happen during loud arguments or in big dramatic explosions.They've happened quietly, in silence, at dinner tables, in classrooms, in WhatsApp groups. moments that seemed just ordinary on the outside. But within me, something shifted.Not anger, not even sadness, but just that that tight uncomfortable pause. An incident from a few years ago comes to my mind. It was one evening dinner was noisy, casual.You know, the type of family chaos that feels ...

[Música] Qué lindo este teatro. Mi abuela Cristina Portot fue una gran productora de teatro y eso a mí me regaló un recuerdo fundacional de mi vida. Yo tenía entre 6 7 años y habíamos ido con mi abuela a la calle San Diego, al teatro Caupolicán a cortar las entradas del Cabarevillú, una obra muy exitosa que mezclaba teatro y cabaré y que ella producía junto al gran Tomás Vidiella.Ya había comenzado la función, se sentía ese murmullo, esa esa energía y mi abuela, yo aproveché que ella estaba ahí con otras pe ...
