The #tree of gratitude, after a lesson with @tracyverdugo in #lifebook2016. I'd like to close the year of 2016 thinking about everything I'm #grateful for in my life. May #gratitude be part of our everyday lives in #2017!

At nights I couldn’t sleep, I played your musics on repeat... or when everything that held my life together broke loose, or when I saw what my life came to be. I knew I’d see you, and very soon.

For the first time, I have blurry vision on my right eye. I was once a sharp 20/10 visual acuity, now it seems like I have to let things go its course. Getting older sucks, really. It’s been occuring for things other than eyesight too, like how you used to stay awake til three a.m. just for the hell of it, now you cannot get up without feeling beaten at seven a.m.

today marked a new era, a fundamental change. My revolution. Since I was a kid, I always knew I was different, and I think it’s really time that I embrace this difference with pride
I knew it when I stared at the night sky, positioning the stars, and my friends would not care Or when we ran in the rain, when my friends caught cold, but I caught poems Or when these love songs came into my head, and nobody would listen, I kept writing I knew it when I could not sleep at night thinking of a journey to Africa, and what Jupiter looked like through a spacecraft I knew it when I screamed the top of my lungs and punched the walls To realize that I wasn’t meant to be pretty or careful, or kept behind the wall, or protected. I was meant to stand in the front line, I was meant to fight.
It is time.

When I can't take the cold I imagine you in your room, alone... with my music And they keep you safe, at least for the night
And I’ll write another one, and another one. Until the dawn.

She was burning red and he was midnight blue. She was the rage of sea, he was the calm wind blowing. She was an open book. He was a decrypted message. She was there. He was there.

Sometimes we got caught up to the obsession of being pretty. Based on standard of others. We don't like the way our eyes shine, or our lips, or our skin. I'm legit tired to be pointed out like my body's an object. You got dark skin | Dark skin is not pretty | You gained some weight, huh? | Your eyes isn't alive | You should smile more | You should cover your scars | Your acne is exploding | You got man's arms and feet
I don't care. I love my skin, it's my home. It's not my achievement. I like make up as much as I don't like make up. I'm more than my skin, my eyes are equivalent to those of blackholes, these hands carried more weight than their capacity, these feet walked faster and farther than you think. I'm my brain, my intelligent, and I'm proud of it.

It’s not always easy to get through everyday. Sometimes I feel there's a ball of ice in my throat that I can't find words to say. It's like language has been all but stranger to me.
