The crawl to reassemble myself back to where I was – as if I was ever untouched. But, to reclaim something that was ripped from me. To purge all emotions in the wake of burdens and obligations. Pretending you’d rather love than burn the world to cinders. When you realize what was stolen never really…

To Do For Myself
What is the last thing you learned? There are many things I can do, but I was lacking in what I can do for myself. I had come to a point where I stretched myself thin, always seeking to seem pristine, and helpful to others. The last time I was cast down because I couldn’t…
How Do You Find Time?
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain. When I first heard the question, I laughed at it. But now it’s annoying, and I have many reasons as to why. I have always created, so I considered asking where I find time to be on the sly side. Perhaps I should ask how…
Lessons
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Mistakes and failures should really be called lessons. What did you learn? Can you take something awake from needing to start again? Starting over isn’t bad, especially when you’re well equipped. Having gone through a difficult situation, where you know nothing but…
Kindness
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? When we are young, we are often told that bad things happen to help us learn. While this is fairly true…what about when good things happen? I feel we take those moments for granted. As an example, I am Afro-Mexicana. So all of my days, my…
Being Overly Independent
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. It really is ok to do things on your own…but there are some matters where you do need help. This phase was hard to let go of because I was certain it sustained me, but it really only kept me in the dark….
The Horizon
Am I walking through a desert…or am I close? How to know? I think it’s a feeling you get. A pattern you broke. An inherited mess you cleaned without harming others. You realize you’re feeling things the way you did when you were free – like when I was 12. Everything was a daydream and…
We Did It
What advice would you give to your teenage self? For certain, I would tell her that all the terrible things people told us about ourselves were to stop us from being great. That no one deserves your kind of love. And that dressing how you want doesn’t need others opinions – especially with how unhappy…
Not Willing to Try
What bores you? People with no initiative. Individuals who would rather compare themselves to someone else…rather than get up and try. It’s boring because it’s one dimensional behavior. The context of conversations are always pity parties, or love bombing (HUGE red flag.) Telling me what I do is incomprehensible is boring. It’s not impossible, it’s…
Can He Outdo Himself?
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. My s/o is not short of terrible tales of his ex. One story basically ruined Valentines Day, also had the holiday in wondering for me. Out of respect, I won’t divulge details, but I will offer you a glimmer of hope. February 2024, we decided to…
