It's been exactly four year, five months, and five days ago that I wrote my last blog. I haven’t written since because I guess I haven’t had anything to say. My love for writing seemed to slip away when the pandemic hit. I laid my ink pen aside, and I buried my novels and short …
To the Girl Who Was Just Friend-Zoned…
Somehow he found out. Somehow the truth about how you felt about him came back around to his ears. You tried so hard to keep it inside you. He might have heard it from a friend or overheard you talking about him to a friend, but somehow he heard and he talked to you about …
To All the Mountains I’ve Climbed,
I remember being at the bottom. Looking up at your giant peaks thinking about how I finally made it to the last part of my journey. I had come so far. I had come to this point and there was no turning back. But then I started to climb. I steadied my heavy back …
If You Are Human then Your Life Matters.
Someone once told me I was racist because I believed all lives mattered because we were all human. That honestly kinda stung. It hurt me a lot. Rocked my core. If that person only knew the heart I had for Hispanic culture. If that person only knew that I once stayed in the mountains with …
You Are Not A Mistake, You Are A Miracle

The Seasons are Changing and So Have I
Flower buds are starting to grow on the dogwood tree that grows outside my window. The snow has been lightly falling here and there, but I know that spring is just around the corner. The seasons will be changing soon, but I feel as if I have been changing more rapidly than they have. There are …
The Emptiness That Fills Us
I consider myself a person who has everything I could ever want. I've always had a roof over my head. I was raised by loving parents. I have the sweetest friends. All of my life I have never gone hungry or thirsty. All my life I have been so blessed to say that God has …
Fully Exposed with Nothing to Hide
There was a time in my life where I was constantly looking over my shoulder. I lived with a secret and was afraid of being found out. I hid in the shadows when the light came around so that no one could see I was struggling. I was ashamed of the things I had done …
Embracing Singleness
There was always that one guy in High School that all the girls were crushing on. I could hear their whispers behind me in class about who they thought was the cutest this week. Of course, this was only a natural part of growing up. Walking down the hallway, I always saw girls and guys …
