Today she woke up at 7:00 AM, she was taking time off because she had been overwhelmed for several things happening at the same time.
She went to the bathroom to pee and brushed her teeth. Then, she went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and took her thyroid pill. She swallowed it and started looking for her kindle charger that it's been missing for a while. She did not find it and started to reading a book. 
She was overthinking, she knew she had a job that paid her bills, but she was not happy at all. She could not quit because she was a responsible adult who needed to bring food to the table. 
She did not know what to do, so she decided to go out and see her plants. Fall was right in the corner, the leaves were starting changing, starting to fall down and she knew that the nature is a perfect state to be. 
She made sure that her plants were watered properly because she was heading out during the long weekend. 
She was going to visit her friend from University to Michigan. She was excited to do something different. 
Once she ensured the plants were OK, she decided to have a walk to the same park that she used to go every day. Seemed that park was her second home, she knew the squirrel and the raccoon families that inhabited that land. She was breathing deeply taking the air to her lungs, she knew that this sentiment was going to pass as always.

La necesidad de escribir

Existe en mi una necesidad de poner en letras lo que siento, en salir corriendo de los lugares en los que no soy yo, en salir de relaciones que no dan para más. Existe una necesidad de ponerle palabras a lo que atravieso, a veces muy contenta y otras veces con los hombros caídos de tanto llorar.  Existe un deseo en mi de ir y gritarle al mundo que a mi las letras me salvaron, me acompañaron y me ayudaron a acercarme a otros mundos. Existe esa necesidad imperiosa de hacer la diferencia, de que estos pensamientos lleguen a los oìdos que los necesitan escuchar.  Existe una necesidad de ver como mi mente conecta con las manos que escriben y que de emoción no cesan.  Existe un deseo profundo de mirarme a través de los años y ver cuánto he cambiado, que eso que pensaba y escribía, ya no lo pienso.  Y verme liberada en las letras que mi mano escribió, ver que todo pasa y que nada es realmente importante.  Lo más importante es el amor que se construye, esa rama poderosa...

DosCinco

Estaba enojada porque ibas a llegar, pero muy impaciente.  Mi mamá iba y venía del hospital, pero los doctores le decían que no era tiempo de tu llegada.  Y yo me quedaba otro tiempo sin mi mamá, pero también sin conocerte.  Ese día, ibamos a ir al Gigante y yo estaba contenta ya que iba a poder elegir el cereal que quería. Mi mamá y mi tía dijeron que antes de ir al super mercado tendríamos que pasar al doctor a ver cómo iba ese bebé y pues ya te estabas pasando, así que no fui al Gigante y me regresé con mi tía a la casa porque ya ibas a llegar. Estaba enojada contigo, pero llegaste, así largo, con la cabeza alzada y la mirada profunda. Desde que te ví sabía que eras parte de mi carne, cuando te cargaba sentía que eras mi hermanito.  Ibas creciendo, travieso, parlachín, curioso, artista. Yo lo único que quería desde que te conocí es que no sufrieras, que pudieras tener una vida poco dolorosa.  Jugamos muchas tardes, me cuidaste y te cuidé toda tu infancia, que...

Moving in and out

We are moving out in a housing crisis, 500 square feet, probably 600 square feet apartament, realtors speculating how much people can afford, they said we can pay more, furniture, insurance for the building, hydro, insurance, liability, change the address. We are moving out, we want to have a brighter place to say hello to the sun.  We are migrant birds from the sur global coming to the North, they said that it is the true North.  North is cold and individualistic, but we make it bloom with our colours, joy and friends.  Adulthood is hard, I think nobody is prepared for this housing crisis... I wonder myself when the land is not enough for houses? The land should be enough, greedy is never enough.  There are some families that have a house of 5mill acres and some they can just afford to rent a 600sq ft apartament in one of the most cosmopolitan cities, Toronto. Some of them, they are houseless, they can't afford anything, living on the streets where everyone pretend ...
