For Izzy growing up, the world really was her oyster. Born the second of three girls to her doting parents, what the Vasquez family lacked in social and financial status, they made up for in love. Even if it wasn’t exactly what they had asked for, her parents always did what what they could to give their daughters whatever they wanted. What Izzy wanted was always easy to predict: for every good report card or lack of cavities at dental appointments, she’d request a trip to the bookstore as a reward. She was never one to be overtly social, and she would cry if forced to play outside with her sisters. But tucked away inside her room at night, a book light clipped to the cover of her latest adventure, was where Izzy found peace.
Her love of reading evolved into a love for writing as she got older, with Izzy placing in a handful of regional and statewide writing contests. Verbal communication hasn’t come too easily to her, but writing is her true passion. That’s why there was no surprise when she chose to major in education, with an emphasis on language arts, when she got to college. It isn’t just that Izzy wants to make her passion into a career — she wants to inspire the next generation of readers and writers, too. Izzy never quite lost the part of her that was constantly labelled a weirdo in school. She’s still often found with at least two books in her purse, she spends her evenings perusing astrology accounts on Twitter, and she unironically loves the dark academia aesthetic. But she’s also learned that now, at 30, her penchant for isolation has become less of a safety net, and more so something for her parents to comment on every time she visits. “Are you seeing anyone?” “Don’t you want to settle down?” “Aren’t you worried about being alone?” The answer to all of those question is, truthfully, no. Her job is her number one priority at the moment. But Izzy also wonders if her parents’ prodding isn’t something she should be concerned about. She’s willing to at least try putting herself out there, for their sake.
