High School Graduation I recall my childhood vividly and fondly. My memories are surrounded by adventure and comrades. I spent my weekends and summers at my grandmother’s house along with my siblings and cousins. I was lucky enough to have four older brothers and ten guy cousins. My sister and I were the only girls.…
#226 quicksand
I have been on this positive life high since the New Year and boy, did I come crashing down since my last blog post, which was last week. I have been feeling overwhelmed, tired, depressed, hopeless, and burnt out. I have been trying to reflect on why emotions have changed so drastically. First, I had…
#225 mind & feelings
"If you don't control your emotions, it will be manipulated against you. You got to train your mind to be stronger than your feelings, or else you'll lose every single time." Do you agree with this quote? Should our lives lie in the hands of our minds or our feelings? This quote made me feel…
#224 rewrites
Good Evening, First, thank you everyone for being here and reading my blog. As an amateur writer, having readers is an amazing feeling. I thank you again and it really doesn't seem like enough just to say thank you. It truly means so much. I have rewritten this blog three times. Last Friday, this week's…
#223 Discipline
A picture of the cloudy night that I took. It was 9pm but the photo came out like it was 2pm. Spooky ? It is so easy to lay in bed all day and make a million excuses why I shouldn't get up. Most of the time, the excuses aren't bullshit. They are legit reasons…
#222 right here, right now
I want photos that capture my soul. I thought I was worthless and I didn’t even know it. Now when I look back, it makes sense why I felt worthless. As a child, I was outcasted by friends, in the 5th grade, for being different. I was an oddball. I wore big Harry Potter glasses…
#221 trying to live
Casa Vega Portuguese cafe Griffith Park Hike Mochi Donuts Another cool cafe Sometimes I wish I was as pretty as my photos. Most of the time, I feel ugly. I’m glad I have a mask on to hide my chubby cheeks. I wish I could loose weight easily but I love food. My soul is…
#220 the lost fish & friends
There are only so many heartbeats a person feels in a lifetime. -Pen15 This week I wanted to write about the show Friends. I watched the entire show for the first time ever. It took a couple of months and lots of convincing. I was very much against watching the show. I had seen a…
#219 Scream!
Scream! Horror films have always been my top go-to genre. I grew up with four older brothers so basically every other genre was out of the cards. We loved watching the paranormal television shows on television about haunted houses and so on. Let me some it up to this, most kids have seen all the…
#218 The Suicide Bridge of Pasadena
The first time I went to Pasadena Convention Center was for a robot convention called Bot Con. You know when that feeling that you have found some place so cool and rare? That’s how I felt about Pasadena. I didn’t leave the valley much and I had only been driving for a couple of years.…
