Ocean Waves


Sometimes we go through things beyond our understanding. Life throws us in different directions. Many times, obstacles are put in front of us. We have to learn to overcome change, grief, fear, and challenges. We don't know why we are put here. We don't know why we meet people. Why we befriend them or fall in love. And why sometimes, things fall apart. People get taken away from us. But I'm a firm believer that there's a reason for everything. We have to go through the difficult times to learn to overcome them and know how to get through them the next time. People come into our lives to brighten them, to teach us things, to understand them better. We don't know when our time will come. But I believe it's up to us to make the most of our lives. To inspire. To hope that we brought something into the world. That we made a difference in someone's life. That even if tomorrow isn't promised, we made the most of today. And that's all matters. The ocean is endless, ongoing and unbothered. The waves ripple through causing the water to move forward. Just like the ocean, we have to learn to move forward. As sad as you might be today, as afraid as you might be, just remember, "life goes on and so must we."

Here To Stay

Tenía 6 meses cuando mis padres trajeron a mí y a mis hermanos a los Estados Unidos. Querían una vida mejor para nosotros. Esperaban que tuviéramos más de lo que ya teníamos en México. Eso es lo que esperaban. I'm sorry, this is America. In America, we speak English. I was brought to the United States as a 6 month old baby with my siblings. My parents, hoping for a better future and more opportunities, uprooted our family here. That's what they hoped. I've been here for about 26 years of my life. 1 and a half of those years were spent in Mexico. One year was spent back in Mexico when I was 4 years old. I still had a visa then so we were able to go back. I was about 5 when I came back with a visa. Still a child and still naive to what our situation would later become. At 27 years old, I am an undocumented immigrant, or illegal alien as some would say. 22 of those years were lived with the uncertainty of what the next day would bring living here undocumented. I could ...

On the move

I've mentally and emotionally drained myself out the past couple of months. For what? I honestly don't know. I let my emotions get the best of me. I let one experience ruin my outlook on life. It's the one thing I didn't want to do and yet, I couldn't help it. I've literally sank to the bottom at one point and didn't want to get back up. The point is, I'm done caring too much when it's not needed. I'm done over worrying. I'm done letting myself drown in my own self pity. I'm not invalidating my depression. I'm not saying that it's cured miraculously or that I will never experience another downfall again. I'm just saying that I'm done letting it take over me. Life is about choices and how we act upon those choices. We make mistakes. And I need to learn to move on from those mistakes. One of those mistakes is possibly keeping this blog up for so long without trying to look for other mediums. Which is why in the next few ...
