a fresh start...
5:58:00 PMHi. Welcome. This is my blog.
I began writing on Blogger five years ago. My first post is a small About Me back in April 15, 2015.
A lot has changed since then.
I was reading back to the posts I used to write and I am a little upset I let myself drift away from this blog. I should have continued sharing some of me, but I didn't and that's okay. We learn from our mistakes. My second to last post on here was on September 2018 - I talked about a project I was starting to work on... well, that project came a reality.
I began writing my first book.
And I have recently published it.
I started writing in on November of 2018 and concluded it on July 2020.
It brought me mixed emotions reading back to my old posts because part of what I wrote in them are in the pages of my book.
The book is called gotita de amor. It has a Spanish title, but it is written in English.
And it is split into six chapters.
Stars: It is a tribute to my Payallito, who I have dedicated blog posts too. I also talk about a family friend and my other grandfather who I didn't have the chance to meet.
Moonlight: It is a beautiful and silly chapter of the failures in my love life.
Rain: I talk about my insecurities.
Thunderstorms: The darkest chapter in my life so far.
Sunlight: We break and fall, but we can also heal and care for those wounds and continue looking forward.
Clouds: I share personal thoughts about a variety of things. I tell you who I am.
Without knowing this blog was preparing me for this beautiful project.
I wrote about different topics on here because I simply wanted to help someone - anyone. I wanted to be the voice I needed when I was thirteen years old.
This isn't the last time I will show up here. I promise to continue coming back and sharing experiences, thoughts and advice. I simply forgot how therapeutic and beautiful it feels to write and publish on here and not know if someone is out there reading.
If you are, thank you.
