Dear Life…
Dear Life, It’s about time I wrote you a letter. It could be angry, but it’s not, because I know well that I am not entitled to anything, either the good or the bad. You just set us forth and we walk our miles, doing our time on this earth, knowing well that at least […]

Disappointed but not brokenhearted.
When I was a teen, a terrible one, my father always told me, “lovers come and go, but I will always be there for you through thick or thin because you are my daughter, and I love you unconditionally. Don’t ever forget that.” Now, more than ever, I know this to be true.

Después de la tormenta llegó la templanza y las ganas de vivir.
Siento cierta templanza. Después de la tormenta las aguas se han calmado. Veo el mundo de otra manera, quizá con una visión más tranquila. Tengo poco ánimo de lucha. No porque me falten las fuerzas, sino porque las cosas las voy tomando menos a pecho y la aceptación de las situaciones desagradables llega antes.

We win, we lose.
Life is an exercise in winning and losing. Every time we win, we lose as well. I won my freedom but lost my puppy. I knew well it was going to happen. It was painful but, inevitable. I wanted the best care for him and I gave him up to my ex. I don’t think […]
