so i’m sad asl bc i fell asleep and won’t have time to do any of the extra writings i had planned , mostly her biography , but i already have 70 + posts on here , and i feel like putting any more would be a bit much . not to mention , the bio i was writing was super long , and if you want to look at it unfinished , i will give you that chance, click here . bc i really like what i wrote so far !! but in short , xiomara kind of grew up in tight knit house , her father , her mother , her abuela, and after a couple years , her sister aniyah . her father worked as auto shop owner , helping fix cars and even taught her how to fix them as well within their daddy / daughter moments . abuela was one of xiomara’s best friends / biggest influencers , and was the one who introduced her to music . she died of pneumonia ad wasn’t sure how to cope . music made things slightly better but she was still heartbroken . in their last moments together , her abuela told her to live her life to the fullest and with a tear stricken smile , she promised . in 2012 , aniyah gets diagnosed with leukemia , and xiomara watches her sister slowly fade , becoming more sick as the time passes . again , her sister tells her to live and that she’ll be watching her . it’s kind of hard to live when everyone around you isn’t . the house is depressed . her mother barely eats , nobody really talks . that is until her father’s affair comes out to the light and xiomara swears that she won’t be able to take another heartbreak , but is still met with one , when she comes home from school to find her father’s suitcases packed . nadia , the woman he cheated on her mother with , was having xiomara’s step sibling . she couldn’t look at him the same after that . the child in her wanted to run to her father and plead , but she gave him a dirty look and walked into her poster filled room . she put her headphones on and muted the world . they weren’t kidding when they said music saved people , it saved her . it was hard , but somehow she managed to actually graduate on time . with being kicked out of class , random hookups with boys , she kind of turned into someone new ? her mother’s depression only got worse , wouldn’t talk , wouldn’t eat , the only emotion she shared was heartbreak , as she leaned against the headboard of her bed and wept . her aunt offered to take care of her , and xiomara agreed . if she wouldn’t talk to her daughter , maybe her sister would get something out of her . with the help of her aunt , xiomara was enrolled in the university of houston . not for long tho , within the next six months , she was kicked out . and that’s when she took both her sister and grandmother’s words into perspective . LIVE . be happy , be free . so she decided on doing just that . abuela had left her a shitload of money , and in finding that , she also found her abuela’s teenage bucket list . attend every single concert . if she ever were to live , she would live for her grandmother and her sister whose lives were cut short . and it would be the best life , goodbye houston !
