Mi Cultura
Hay momentos en cual me siento orgullosa de mi cultura. Tan pronto como llegan esos momentos, tan pronto se van. What is there to be proud of? The machismo injected in our veins? The erasure of indigenous communities? The anti-blackness? The cultural appropriation? The constant denial that any of these issues occur? Sure, our music … Continue reading Mi Cultura
Accepting Failure
Well, I finally did it; I failed. 2019 is the year I failed. I failed a couple of classes. I failed to post consistently. Even though I was taken back by this new concept of failure, I am okay with failing. I am glad that I failed. Despite failing, I still have the same hopes … Continue reading Accepting Failure

Habits I’m Implementing
Everyone makes posts about the habits you should be doing, but I hardly see people post about the habits they need to practice. I can sit here and tell you about what you should be doing to be more productive or to better your mental health, but the truth is I don't always follow them … Continue reading Habits I’m Implementing
A Letter to October
Oh, October. You’re here at last. I’m glad you’re here. Halloween. Spookiness. Festivals. Coziness. The color orange. What else could I ask for? It’s been too long since I last saw you. You haven’t changed one bit. I can’t wait to sit down in front of the T.V. and just feel like a little kid … Continue reading A Letter to October
