I had days living a situation that the truth is that I was not very well to say. I tried to hide it and go on with my life as if nothing happened because the only truth is that life does not stop no matter what (unless what we already know happens), but the truth is that even though I gave 100% of my effort it was not enough.

To top it off I had philosophy classes and my mind was not concentrating at all, in fact I remember saying “I wish everything could be different as if by magic” and just at that moment casually someone asked the professor about what he could say about magic. That of course brought me out of my thoughts and did make me pay attention. In fact I paid so much attention that I remember what the professor told us:
“As children we are taught magic as those non-normal things that happen, like a rose appearing in a hat or someone disappearing and reappearing. Then as we grow up we realize that magic “doesn't exist” and only children have the right to believe in it.
However, as years and experiences go by, life itself is in charge of showing us that magic does exist and each one of us has it. What do I mean? Logically, none of us could put our hand in a hat and pull it out and make a bird come out of it or who knows what, but what we know as magic when we are children is just a trick where the hand is faster than the human eye. On the other hand, as we grow up, our magic is more invisible than we think, but at the same time more perceptible than we might think, although this may seem a great contradiction at first glance.
Let me explain this so that you can understand me. Sometimes in our daily life it is normal for us to smile at people or simply be kind and if we see that something looks good on someone we know we tell them so and we give them a smile. That is part of our invisible magic that everyone can perceive; and maybe that person was having a really bad day and we took away their sadness and made their day better.
Another magic that we have, is that sometimes we can break the armor that someone close to us has placed for sufferings that we do not know. And how do we do that? Very easy, we just have to be ourselves and our magic will do the job, because the essence of each one of us has the power to break barriers that are proof against almost everything, except love.
For example, at this moment, I am giving you some of my magic, because in addition to teaching you about philosophy, I am making each of you see that the magic you have is capable of changing the world. Guys, do not think that just because you do not see your own magic does not mean that it does not exist. Because just by being able to perceive the magic of each one of those around us or of the people who are important to you, that is already magic, because the eyes of the soul allow you to see beyond the visible.”
These words of the professor remained resonating in my mind, and as if by magic, I no longer felt so driven to make that decision because of what was happening to me.
What decision am I going to make? I don't really know yet. But I want to trust that my magic will do its best to guide me to make the “right” decision if there can be one in this case.
Thanks for reading me until the end, if you liked it please let me know.

Tenía días viviendo una situación que la verdad no me tenía muy bien que se dijera. Intentaba ocultarlo y seguir con mi vida como si nada porque la única verdad es que la vida no se detiene pase lo que pase (A menos que pase lo que ya sabemos), pero la verdad aunque daba el 100% de mi esfuerzo no era suficiente.
Para rematar tenía clases de filosofía y mi mente no se concentraba para nada, de hecho recuerdo que dije “Ojalá todo pudiera ser diferente como por arte de magia” y justo en ese momento casualmente alguien le preguntó al profesor sobre qué podía decir sobre la magia. Eso por supuesto me sacó de mis pensamientos y sí me hizo prestar atención. De hecho presté tanta atención que recuerdo lo que el profesor nos dijo:
“Desde niños nos enseñan la magia como esas cosas no normales que suceden, como aparecer una rosa en un sombrero o desaparecer a alguien y volver a aparecerla. Luego al crecer nos damos cuenta de que la magia “no existe” y sólo los niños tienen derecho a creer en ella.
Sin embargo, conforme pasan los años y las experiencias, la misma vida se encarga de demostrarnos que la magia sí existe y cada uno de nosotros la tenemos. ¿A qué me refiero? Lógicamente ninguno de nosotros podría meter la mano en un sombrero y al sacarla hacer que saliera de él un ave o quién sabe qué cosas, pero sucede que eso que conocemos como magia cuando somos niños, es sólo un truco donde la mano es más rápida que el ojo humano. En cambio al crecer, nuestra magia es más invisible de lo que creemos pero al mismo tiempo más perceptible de lo que se pueda pensar aunque esto a simple vista parezca una gran contradicción.
A ver, explico esto para que me puedan entender. A veces en nuestra cotidianidad es normal para nosotros sonreírles a las personas o simplemente ser amables y si vemos que algo le queda bien a alguien que conocemos se lo decimos y le sacamos una sonrisa. Esa es parte de nuestra invisible magia que todos pueden percibirla; y es que quizás esa persona estaba teniendo un día del asco y nosotros alejamos su tristeza y le mejoramos el día.
Otra magia que tenemos, es que en ocasiones podemos romper la coraza que se ha colocado alguien cerca de nosotros por sufrimientos que no conocemos. ¿Y cómo hacemos eso? Muy fácil, basta con ser nosotros mismos y nuestra magia hará el trabajo, porque la esencia de cada uno tiene el poder de romper barreras a prueba de casi todo, excepto a prueba de amor.
Por ejemplo en este momento, estoy dándoles a ustedes de mi magia, porque además de enseñarles sobre filosofía, les estoy haciendo ver a cada uno que la magia que tienen es capaz de cambiar el mundo. Chicos, no crean que porque ustedes no ven su propia magia significa que no exista. Porque nada más con poder percibir la magia de cada uno de los que nos rodean o de las personas que son importantes para ustedes, eso ya es magia, ya que los ojos del alma te permiten ver más allá de lo visible.”
Estas palabras del profesor me quedaron resonando en mi mente, y como por arte de magia, ya no me sentía tan impulsada a tomar esa decisión por lo que me estaba sucediendo.
¿Que qué decisión voy a tomar? La verdad no lo sé aún. Pero quiero confiar en que mi magia hará todo lo posible por guiarme para tomar la decisión “correcta” si es que puede haber una en este caso.
Gracias por leerme hasta el final, si te ha gustado por favor déjamelo saber

Perhaps my comments about your decision are a bit strong and, in my opinion, unfair. However, I would like to point out that I deeply value this community of writers at TheInkWell. In no way does what is happening make me stop loving this community. For me, it has been a home of learning and unique, wonderful, exquisite experiences. A place where I grew in the world of literature in ways I never imagined, even though I never liked reading novels and stories. Today I enjoy reading very much. I have also found in you (TheInkWell) a place of continuous growth, of continuous learning. I am very grateful and always will be. I love you, guys! ❤

Hello, @theinkwell. You should check your IA tester. First, I know this good fellow author. Maybe she is not a famous writer but she's a very talented girl. Here, Im gonna show you three results from 3 different AI testers:
Quillbot.com
Zerogpt.com
Last but not the least ChatGPT
Finally, I used ChatGPT (the real one, https://chatgpt.com) and this is what it explained to me:
“If it was written by a person, it is possible that they used a machine translator or some AI assistance. Do you know where the text came from? That would help to analyze it better.”
Yes, the deepl.com tool was used.
“That explains a lot. DeepL is pretty accurate but sometimes translates too literally or with constructions that sound a bit unnatural in English, which can make the text look AI-generated.”
So, dear @theinkwell, I kindly ask you to reconsider this text and take into account my friend’s effort. She has put great dedication into it, and I believe it deserves fair evaluation. Thank you very much in advance.
It's heartening to have someone go to bat for a friend. However, we do not use free AI detectors. We pay for a professional service. It was not an issue of translation, because the scanner has a multi-lingual capability. We scanned it in the original Spanish. Here is the result:
I repeat, I don't know why that came out, but no sentence in this writing was really written with AI. All I did was to open word and write what I felt, that I turned it into a story? Yes, it's true, I gave it that approach, but I didn't really use AI at any time.
A reasonable, impassioned argument for a friend. I appreciate the spirit.
Hi @agmoore
And I will continue to stand by it and I will not change my opinion, it is necessary that someone who understands Spanish reads it.
Very good evening, excuse me, I think there has been a big confusion since absolutely not a single sentence of this writing has been done with artificial intelligence. I simply made the decision to use the topic of magic as an outlet for a recent situation and I didn't even search for the image with AI. I can attest that 100% of this writing has been done by me and not by AI even to be translated.

Regarding the support in the comments, at the time of uploading my post, no one had posted any and so I could not support any of them.
You can't accuse an author of writing a text with AI without any evidence, otherwise it amounts to defamation.
Do you have evidence to refute the contrary? Great, in that case, show it. Otherwise, you should retract your statement and seriously reconsider your biases.
What would that bias be? What would be the basis of the bias? We know nothing about this writer except her writing. Defamation? We're curators. It's our job to make judgements. In this case we have a professional AI detector to guide us.
Let me see if I understand... You're accusing someone of using AI, using an AI yourself? That's the most hypocritical thing I've read in a long time.
So you think a person can't write well today without AI? I know this writer, I know her off-screen, and I know for a fact that she's a sincere person. Spanish is her native language; it's obvious she'll have a knack for writing well in that language. Or do writers of other languages have to follow a writing pattern so we don't get accused of falsifying our texts? Come on, this AI thing is getting out of hand.
