Preciso Me Encontrar
I took another zip of my coconut. The water tasted sweet, refreshing, as if I was drinking it for the first time. “…É o momento em que você sente todas as emoções de uma vez. O momento em que você começa a entender que nem tudo na vida precisa ter uma resposta. Que algumas coisas

checkmarks
You check the messages again. You notice that the two little checkmarks remain gray. You ask yourself why and you make an excuse in your head as to why. You know you are wrong. Or worse, you are are right. What was once blue, now no longer. You thought that maybe this time it would

Returning to mate
“Te ves un poco mas flaco” said my friend as he poured me another cup of mate. “Mejor no flaco si no mas….ligero”. The accent hits me like a train going a thousand miles per hour. The smell of warm humid air touches my skin. The loud conversations surround me as I step outside to

Real Friends
No, I think I’ll stay in tonight Skip the conversations and the “Oh, I’m fines” No, I’m no stranger to surprise This paper town has let me down too many times Why do I even try? Give me a reason why I thought that I could trust you, never mind Why all the switching sides?

home / wifi
After just 4 short days in Colombia, I decided to call it quits Its not that I didn’t like the country, its just that it was time to go.While walking home up a hill it began to rain and I shortly found myself asking…”what am I doing here?” Having traveled for 6 months now, my

No Pasa Nada
Later to a dinner?…no pasa nada Forgot to call someone back? …no pasa nada Care about anything in life? …no pasa nada An expression I have come to loath while being here in Argentina. It means, “dont worry about it”, “it doesn’t matter”, or “nothing happens”. An expression often used by Argentinians to indicate that

accepting alone
You take a deep breath and realize what just happened. You say to yourself that it can’t be and it won’t be. It has. For a moment, you think that its happening outside of you. Something that you have read or heard on televisions. But its not, its happening now and its happening to you.

4 years lost – virtually
Its crazy to think that it can be gone so fast, but sure enough my words are gone. NO back up can restore it. No know-it-all regarding digital can recover it. No digital print left behind, no thoughts to be archived. I lost 4 years worth of blog posts and I am left with only a

I have come to relize that…
1. I have come to realize that, my butt: is not as big as i would like it to be , and wonder why my moms is really big. 2. I have come to realize that, when I talk: i have a lisp 3. I have come to realize that, if I love someone: i

Cómo decirte
“No sé cómo decirte que hoy me he dado cuenta del tiempo que perdí contigo dando vueltas a un sueño donde me jurabas ser el unico y ha resultado ser tan solo una promesa. No sé cómo decirte que hoy me he dado cuenta que has apurado a fondo mi paciencia hoy sé que has

[gasp]
My chest hurts. Its an unbelivable feeling to feel what I feel. So many emotions. Doubt. Fear. Anger. Disappointment…..Hope? I can’t recall a time where I have felt such pain. Have I ever felt it? I wonder if I was jumping to conclusions. If it was not true then why does it hurt so much. So

broken holidays
Its hard sometimes to swallow. My family is falling apart. What was once the one thing that kept us all together, seems like its now all deterating and there is not way to stop it. I think about it more and more as times goes by and especially during the holiday season. Its the one

Leaping forward
I could feel my blood boiling when I picked up the phone. My subconscious reminding me wether this was the right decision. How would I pay for my rent? What about my family? Fuck it, just do it. I called my boss who was visiting her family in Michigan… “Hey…[enter small talk here] ….so anyways…I

2 months of change
While I dusted the dust of my keyboard, I began to think when was the last time I had written here. As I have recently learned, a lot can happen in 2 months: I MOVED. I received the phone call around 9 pm at the end of February. It was my brother. He informed me

interim soul mate
“I am so glad we found each other. He is my soulmate” I heard my friend say as I somehow swallowed my soon to be jaded comment. I wanted to speak to bad, but knew that his was not the right place nor the right time. Why fuck up someone’s happiness with all your jaded

predicting the unpredictable
No one can really predict what our life path will lay out for us. Some believe in destiny while others believe in fate. But why is it that as hard as we like it to, some things in life can not be and/or do not want to be…controlled? “It must be your pride. Give it

judging love
It is said that Love will conquer all. It will defy any obstacle. Move any mountain. Sustain any relationship. But I wonder – does it really? Above EVERYTHING else, does it??? My mother used to say that when Hunger comes through the door, Love will leave through the window. I didnt know what she meant

yo soy un hombre sincero
Yo soy un hombre sincero, De donde crece la palma, Y antes de morirme quiero, Echar mis versos del alma. Yo vengo de todas partes, Y hacia todas partes voy: Arte soy entre las artes, En los montes, monte soy.
