Hello girls it's been a while since I participated in the contest, I had been a little absent from Hive but upon my return it is inevitable to attend the contest that always brings magnificent questions this time I want to answer both, What or who inspires me and my role model growing up. Let's get to it.

What or who inspires me

What an interesting question, I loved it because it forced me to reflect, to make an exercise of self-knowledge, and well, I think that throughout my life I have found things or people that inspire me, I would say that much of my life I have been inspired by music, also the visual arts more briefly, but thinking about my current life I said to myself, well music does not inspire me as before because certainly my purposes have changed and I have subtracted importance to music to give way to other important things.

The year 2024 was the beginning of my venture, a retro arcade, I hadn't really thought about it, but starting my video game business was mainly driven by inspiration.

When I was a kid, I frequently visited video game arcades, at the beginning when I was about 5 years old I went with my father and my brother to a place wrongly called Genesis, we called it that way because it had an advertisement for the Sega Genesis console, which was booming.Going to that place was simply magical for me, it was a long hallway with about 50 consoles in a row, to order the game you had to choose one among hundreds of covers stuck high up on the walls.

It's hard to explain how I felt there, but just remembering that place, the sound, the smells make me feel good, I think if I could go back to the past one day I would go there. Then I started going to other video game arcades on my own, when I was older, between 8 and 10 years old. There were several video game arcades near my grandmother's house, and in the same block of my house there was another one, I remember being the first customer of that arcade near my house, Saturday at 9 in the morning I was there without fail.

All these memories of my childhood made me want to recreate these places in the present, and it gives me great satisfaction to be able to give happiness to the new generations and also to the previous generations that likewise enjoy enjoying their childhood video games again. I feel that every child deserves to have a place like this near their home, just as I had them, because it leaves us marked for life, we never forget the places where we were happy, and I imagine in the future all my customers will remember my arcade with nostalgia.

Who was my role model during my growth

Well, I think that during our growth we adopt a little bit of each of the people with whom we are most connected, I think I had never thought about having had a role model. I know that there are people who for different circumstances have someone very well established. However, I don't find an answer very out of the traditional, because I think that my role models were always my parents. My brother, who is 3 years older and I feel that in some way he must have also become a role model during my childhood.

A cousin of mine with whom I had a special bond also influenced me a lot in my growth, because we had many things in common and somehow also pushed me to venture into some areas related to art, but not beyond that.

To conclude I would say that my family, my mother, my father and my brother, were my role models during my growth.

Thank you very much

Hola chicas de hace tiempo que no participo en el concurso, había estado un poco ausente de Hive pero a mi regreso pues es inevitable atender al concurso que siempre trae magnificas preguntas en esta ocasión quiero responder ambas, Que o quien me inspira y mi modelo a seguir al crecer. Vamos a ello.

Qué o quién me inspira

Que interesante pregunta, me encantó porque me obligó a reflexionar, a hacer un ejercicio de autoconocimiento, y bueno, pienso que a lo largo de mi vida he encontrado cosas o personas que me inspiran, diría que gran parte de mi vida me ha inspirado la música, también las artes visuales de manera más breve, pero al pensar en mi vida actual me dije, bueno la música no me inspira como antes pues ciertamente mis propósitos han cambiado y le he restado envergadura a la música para darle paso a otras cosas importantes.

El año 2024 fue el principio de mi emprendimiento, una sala de videojuegos retro, no lo había pensado realmente, pero iniciar mi negocio de videojuegos fue impulsado principalmente por la inspiración.

IMG_20241217_180445.jpg

Cuando era niño, visitaba con frecuencia las salas de videojuegos, al principio cuando tenia unos 5 años iba con mi padre y mi hermano a un lugar mal llamado Genesis, le decíamos así porque tenía un aviso publicitario de la consola Sega Genesis, la cual estaba en pleno auge.ir a ese lugar era simplemente mágico para mí, era un pasillo largo con aproximadamente unas 50 consolas en fila, para pedir el juego debías elegir uno entre cientos de portadas pegadas en lo alto de las paredes.

Es difícil explicar cómo me sentía allí, pero solo el hecho de recordar aquel lugar, el sonido, los olores me generan mucho bienestar, creo que si pudiese regresar un día al pasado iría allí. Luego empecé a ir a otras salas de videojuegos por cuenta propia, ya teniendo más edad, entre 8 y 10 años. Había varias salas de videojuegos cerca de la casa de mi abuela, y en la misma cuadra de mi casa había otro, recuerdo ser el primer cliente de aquella sala de juegos cerca de mi casa, sábado a las 9 de la mañana allí estaba yo sin falta.

Todos estos recuerdos de mi infancia me llevaron a querer recrear estos lugares en el presente, y me da mucha satisfacción poder dar felicidad a las nuevas generaciones y también a las generaciones anteriores que de igual forma disfrutan volver a disfrutar de sus videojuegos de infancia. Siento que todo niño merece contar con un lugar así cerca de su casa, tal como yo los tuve, porque nos deja marcados para toda la vida, nunca olvidamos los lugares donde fuimos felices, e imagino en el futuro todos mis clientes recordarán mi sala de videojuegos con nostalgia.

Quién fue mi modelo a seguir durante mi crecimiento

Bueno, creo que durante nuestro crecimiento vamos adoptando un poquito de cada una de las personas con las que más nos vinculamos, creo que nunca había pensado acerca de habe tenido un modelo a seguir. Sé que hay gnte que por distintas circunstancias tienen a alguien muy bien establecido. Sin embargo yo no encuentro una respuesta muy fuera de lo tradicional, pues yo pienso que mis modelos a seguir siempre fueron mis padres. Seguramente también lo fue mi hermano, quien es 3 años mayor y siento que de alguna manera también debe haberse convertido en un modelo a seguir durante mi infancia.

Un primo mío con quien tenía un vínculo especial también influyó bastante en mi crecimiento, pues teníamos muchas cosas en común y de alguna manera también me impulso a incursionar en algunos ámbitos relacionados con el arte, pero no más allá de eso .

Para concluir diría que mi núcleo familiar, de mamá, papá y hermano, fueron mis modelos a seguir durante mi crecimiento.

Muchas gracias
