2018-12-5 Hoy me siento drenada. Y claro, se lo puedo achacar a los 40, a los nenes, al trabajo... Pero la realidad es que eso no tiene nada que ver. Eso está todos los días y HOY es que me siento drenada. ¿Por qué? Antes hubiera pasado días sintiéndome confundida y culpable preguntándome por qué, … Continue reading Mía

Letting Go Is Really About Holding On
Everybody is talking about letting go these days. I read about it everywhere. People seem to be obsessed with the notion of "letting go". I understand it completely, but the more I ponder the concept of letting go, the more I realize that in order to let go, you have to do the opposite. First … Continue reading Letting Go Is Really About Holding On
Meditation and Spirit Guides
Ok. I wasn't going to write about this because it was a supremely personal experience and there is no need to share it, but then again, maybe it's good to share it, so here goes... I was flipping out. I was having a horribly stressful day and I was obsessing about things that were not helping … Continue reading Meditation and Spirit Guides
Time is All We Have
So I wrote a poem about time that I haven't published because I didn't really like it and I realized that I needed to develop the whole time subject better. It seems to me that time is the only actual real thing that exists. And the curious thing about it, is that time comes more … Continue reading Time is All We Have
Resistance is Futile
I've been thinking a lot about resistance lately. What exactly is resistance? Well, in an electrical circuit (yeah, I'm going nerdy, but bear with me), resistance is a material that slows down the flow of the current. Obviously, that's what resistance is in everything: Something that stops the flow. And what happens when there is … Continue reading Resistance is Futile
Inclusion Writers – My bad, but not really
When Frances McDormand said "inclusion riders" during her acceptance speech at the #Oscars2018, I could've sworn she said "writers". "Inclusion writers" made so much sense to me I even tweeted it. You see, I'm a writer. And writers are the people who include the characters in their stories. Whether it be a book, short story, … Continue reading Inclusion Writers – My bad, but not really
Why Standing Rock Matters Way More Than Anybody Thinks
Today I read an article about the North Dakota Pipeline and Standing Rock that pleaded to everyone for help. I've been thinking about Standing Rock for some time now and well, her plea reached me and I will do what I do best, write about stuff. I think Standing Rock is way more than … Continue reading Why Standing Rock Matters Way More Than Anybody Thinks
“Antes que cante el gallo” -cine opinión
Ayer tuve la oportunidad de sacar un rato para disfrutar el cine local. Ya hace unas semanas están hablando sobre la película "Antes que cante el gallo" escrita por Kisha Tikina Burgos y dirigida por Arí Maniel Cruz. Seguramente ya han leído montones de reseñas y esta sea otra más, pero aquí va. Empezaré por … Continue reading “Antes que cante el gallo” -cine opinión
Como se siente ver a Mónica Puig jugar por medalla olímpica para Puerto Rico
Yo me imagino que ya todos los Boricuas saben como se siente esta pendejá. Un rush cabrón de adrenalina mezclado con el corazón hinchado de patria y un poquito de sexy porque hay que admitir que la Mónica está linda. Entonces de repente te das cuenta que acaba de ganar al menos plata. Ya es medallista. … Continue reading Como se siente ver a Mónica Puig jugar por medalla olímpica para Puerto Rico
Placement Is Everything In a Bookstore
Today I went to a local bookstore where they have copies of my book: The Bookmark. The idea was to stake it out, see where the books were placed and if people were looking at it. Well, at first I couldn't find it at all as it was placed on a bottom shelf (not the … Continue reading Placement Is Everything In a Bookstore
