By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to the Antonio Brown and Theo Von podcast episode on This Past Weekend with Theo Von. Theo was talking about how he saw a random recording someone took of him, and they called him ugly. Antonio went on to say that ugly means “swaggy.” “Watch this ugly mf getContinue reading “Ugly”

Monday On The Train
By: Gabriela Yareliz The train does not smell good. Reminds me of clients who would come to court on drugs. Their hot breath on your face as you try to reason a decision with them. There is a large husky dog approaching a terrified man playing Kendrick Lamar on his phone (doing his own half-timeContinue reading “Monday On The Train”
Secrets
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you have watched enough of The Office, you know Scranton has one stripper. She shows up dressed like a nurse to help give a charity check, and she shows up in other ways at Dunder Mifflin. She says, “Secrets secrets are no fun. Secrets secrets hurt someone.” This scene came toContinue reading “Secrets”
Understanding
“But the fact is, most human beings have never done the work to understand themselves, heal their past, or manage their own emotions. If they haven’t done that for themselves, they are incapable of doing that for you and showing up in a way that you deserve.” Mel Robbins By: Gabriela Yareliz Life would beContinue reading “Understanding”
Birthday Week
By: Gabriela Yareliz Esther Perel says something along the lines of— you either have different relationships with different people in life or different relationships with the same person. People’s lives shape up differently. In law school, I studied cases about co-adventurers— you know partners in a joint venture, so to speak. Today’s note is aContinue reading “Birthday Week”
This Matters
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way. Some people see it as overkill, but life just doesn’t work the way many assume it does. It surprises all ofContinue reading “This Matters”
The Window
By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard somewhere that the confessionals in The Office reflected where a person was going. I found this hidden message fascinating. Those who sat in front of the window that showed the inside of the office weren’t going anywhere far from Dunder Mifflin. They had no future outside of the paper company.Continue reading “The Window”
Slow
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Slow down.” I saw this phrase on a kombucha cap, a card somewhere, a song— this has been everywhere, lately. In a highly caffeinated world (where we run with cups of caffeine instead of sitting with them), we are reminded to slow down. When we slow down, we have more time toContinue reading “Slow”
Dare You To Move
By: Gabriela Yareliz They say you can tell a lot about a person based on the music they like. Here is a nugget about me— I loved Switchfoot after they were heavily featured in A Walk To Remember, so it has been about 23 years of loving their music. No song of theirs hits asContinue reading “Dare You To Move”
Unreasonable
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is the world run by sex-addicts, adulterers, and pedophiles? As time passes, it really does feel like it. **Cue song “I Need a Hero”** Even our most revered historical figures have some insane histories. The MLK Jr. files revealed what was often rumored about the minister and civil rights activist. It wasn’tContinue reading “Unreasonable”
