By: Gabriela Yareliz Stories are everywhere. There are layers and layers of them that we have to chew through. In some places, they are easy to see. In others, you have to work a bit harder. You have to wait a bit longer. It’s like chewing through those gummy bears that are (I swear) madeContinue reading “Bubbles”

Seasons
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reminds us that rebirth is upon us, and the future is around the corner. We can’t skip seasons, and we can’t skip chapters. Through the good and the bad, we keep going. Through the uncertainties we push through. When the page is blank, we grab the pen. Our power rests inContinue reading “Seasons”
Six Months
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep coming across this thought— six months. Where will we be in six months? Anything is possible. Your current circumstance is not permanent. Today, no matter what you are going through, I urge you to take care of yourself, and do something that nourishes your spirit. When things get hard, rememberContinue reading “Six Months”
The Library
By: Gabriela Yareliz Few places held the magic of a library for me when I was a kid. It’s still a revered temple for the mind. A sacred space. The library, for me, was a place of safety inside of new school after new school. I sought it out, no matter how small. In SouthContinue reading “The Library”
Thoughts for March

I was on the train going over the bridge when I looked up. The sky was orange. It was so orange that the water looked orange.Continue reading “Orange Water”
Nobel
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alfred Nobel is known for the Nobel Peace Prize— the Swedish chemist also invented dynamite. ⚡️ Perhaps lasting peace is only possible by those willing and ready to create a destructive explosion— maybe this is the only way it has integrity. Otherwise, it is just cowardice or an inability to act withContinue reading “Nobel”
X+Y=Z
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to a biohacker from Poland’s podcast (I really do like her), and she had on another woman from Eastern Europe. They started talking about how Americans are so encouraging and the acceptance of success that exists in the United States— even unmatched by Canada and Australia, in their experience.Continue reading “X+Y=Z”
Look Again
By: Gabriela Yareliz This time, I wasn’t wearing headphones. I was walking, and I heard a small noise. I turned around and saw my wrapped cough drop on the cement. I was surprised I had been able to hear the small thump on a NYC street and that I had taken the time to turnContinue reading “Look Again”
