How easy we judge people next to (or not next to). Everything else is easy, except for your own. We then seek a solution to others. And how hard it is to manage what you have inside. Many times we idealize specific people, as if they were all right. And how little we know about what they have inside, other than the image.

To me, the sporty girls were sending me as a child. I had idealized them. I thought that to be an athlete you had to follow a certain stereotype: eating healthy (without chocolate), not being very heavy and moving with beautiful hair and running well. I was out of that canon. I didn't have good hair, I had a lot of weight and I was clumsy when I was running. I imagined how awkward it was, in elementary school, when I was doing physical education, I threw the fences. I didn't really like physical education that we were taught at school. Almost all the games that were made were related to the race, and I didn't get along with it. We were taught many games related to endurance and none to work force.

When I was a kid, the athletes would envy me. I had idealized them. I thought that in order to be an athlete, one had to follow a certain stereotype: eating healthy, not having much weight...

I felt like I couldn't do what they were teaching us, and I got into my head that I couldn't be an athlete. But it wasn't just me, my environment and especially my family thought the same thing. Maybe because I was a little clumsy, maybe also because I had more weight than I did. But life goes around a thousand laps, and believe that, today, I have a few days without doing sport.

I've learned a lot. The first is that there are a thousand types of sports, and the key is in the pursuit of taste. That shame should be set aside (although the tents have always danced the first times). We all have the first times, and no one has been born learned here. I've learned that you don't have to idealize. That we all have our problems here, that everyone has their own problems and that it is necessary to ask for help (even if it seems difficult). I have learned that I can be an athlete and that all stereotypes can be broken. And you don't have to have good hair to run.

Although theory seems simple, practice is difficult. So even though I have four txapelas to lift stones in Euskal Herria, it's hard for me to say that I'm an athlete. But I taught Karmele as a little boy that, although he doesn't believe himself to be a little boy, he's capable of many things he proposes himself.

La blancura is not on vacation

I can't contain the fire that hugs me inside, and I can only write these stupid words so I don't get mastered by despair.

I hate hypocrisy, I hate whites. The problem is that whiteness is everywhere, that we are all white.

It is well known that all the institutions take... [+]

Proposal of the model of the Basque Marriage of Lekeitio for the PNV to investigate the path of reflection

In 1977 the Basque Country Kopa of Lekeitio was launched, a time of transition. At the time of the Republic, in 1931, the first Basque Wedding left the Batzoki. In 1964, the Euskadi Wedding Championship was also held in Lekeitio, in tribute to Resurrection Maria Azkue.

Celebration of Hispanidad

A few years ago I spent a weekend in Pamplona. It was October 12.

I was surprised to see dozens of Latin Americans celebrating ephemerides, with concerts, txosnas and everything. Had I celebrated the conquest of my ancestors? ! I thought that the cultural assimilation of the... [+]

To what extent should they be small farmers?

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]

Does eco-axism come to us?

The eco-social crisis generated by capitalism is causing global unrest across the planet. The "summits" of material and energy resources, establishing limits for growth and accumulation, entail imbalances between nature and society. The crazy wheels of extractivism, climate change... [+]


What we have to defend

One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]

Learning to say goodbye

Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]

Territory and architecture

Hysterical materialism
Scrap

The smell asked for a gesture, but since it had not done so (no other smell could be expected), neither did the others. “No, no, they’re not all. There are no living parts, I have not left anyone alive, for example, without lips (have you seen? ). They seemed perfect until... [+]
