So, I've been asked several times to put translations for the parts in Spanish. At first I didn't want to do it, why? Because many of the people in Wattpad are not native English speakers, including myself, and no one, and I mean NO ONE puts translations on words that might be difficult for some. I've seen cases in which someone asks what a word means and is told to "look it up the dictionary". Or cases in which the author is clearly not very comfortable using English and people make fun of them because they got some words wrong.
Where I want to go with this is: I wanted to make a book in both Spanish and English because there are many people who are Native Spanish speakers and read books here in Wattpad. When I was thirteen or something and I was just beginning to use this app, I would have loved to see that someone used both languages as I did, because that is my situation, I speak Spanish and English both as mother tongue and I use both languages in an every day basis, and I even mix them sometimes.
So, even if at first I didn't want to put translations, and I still don't like the idea, I ask you, if you don't understand something or need a specific part translated, comment it and I will tell you its translation to English.

I hope you all understand that I'm not doing this because I'm mean and don't want you to understand what's written. Isn't this a great chance to learn a new language, to try to learn and understand before judging? This isn't just something about a book, it's something about life. I am sick and tired of listening in the news that a man, woman, child or anyone was attacked or harassed because "they are speaking Mexican" (which, by the way, is NOT a thing) or any other language but English.

Mucho amor,
Esther
