That's great! I'm a native Spanish-speaker too, I'm from Spain! I translate Spanish poems for fun, so English-speakers can enjoy them too. it's so nice to meet other Spanish-speakers too, there's not that many around here ^^ thank you for the ask once again!

also YEAH so nice you're having good day even if it just started. :)
