Today "La isla de la pereza" Came Out to the World
There are moments that, seen from the outside, seem insignificant. A published link. A book available in a digital store. A cover that appears on a screen among millions of others.
But for someone who was present during the process, those moments carry weight.
Last night, as I was getting ready for bed, I received an email from Amazon notifying me that La isla de la pereza (The Island of Sloth) was now available on Kindle. After so much time working in silence—writing, editing, doubting, reorganizing ideas, and learning about things I never thought I'd have to learn—the book was finally released into the world.
And yes, I confess something: I became my first customer.
I bought my own book.
I wanted to see it as any reader would. To open it, browse the table of contents, explore the links, feel the rhythm of reading beyond the manuscript and into the finished product. And as I read the first chapters, something curious happened: I stopped seeing it as "the project" and began to see it as a real book.
I think that's when I understood that one stage had ended.
La isla de la pereza wasn't born as a literary exercise or an attempt to "have something published." It arose from the need to understand certain human processes from within: burnout, fragmentation, prolonged fatigue, misunderstood discipline, and also the possibility of gradually rebuilding oneself without turning life into a permanent war against oneself.
I didn't write this book because I think I have perfect answers. I wrote it because I needed to organize experiences, observe them honestly, and try to find a more integrated way of living. If the book manages to accompany someone on that same journey, even just a little, then it will have fulfilled its purpose.
Today I made a quiet announcement on WhatsApp and Instagram. No big campaigns or much noise. Honestly, I believe that important things rarely need to shout.
Now the book begins a journey that no longer entirely belongs to me. It will reach—or not—the hands of those who are meant to find it. And while that happens, I keep working. Because writing, in the end, wasn't about arriving at this specific moment. It was about learning to walk this path.
To those who have supported, listened to, read, or accompanied me during this time: thank you.
And above all, thank God, who has allowed me to get this far even during times when I thought I couldn't.
