âThe Aztecs often wept - much more than the Spanish in the 16th century and much more than we do today.â
-Ian Mursell
Tlaoco is a 6ix teen year old mestizo who faces internal struggles often, and has little relief or expression of these upsets. My boyfriend has friends to go to when somethingâs happening, he has people but I donât. When I canât talk to my boyfriend, I can only lay in my bed for another day and just cry, I donât mind crying, but I canât cry to anyone, I canât cry anywhere, besides my pillow. Itâs not fair, I try so hard to keep him joyous but the exchange just isnât equal.
