By: Gabriela Yareliz The world is small. Sometimes, it’s interesting to think of time overlaps. This is bound to happen in the randomness of life and also, in its mysterious synergies. These are moments where you and another person are in the same place but you don’t know each other then. For example, the momentsContinue reading “Brush with Evil”

Rebellion
“To write, to really write, in a world that’s become obsessed with brevity and immediacy, has become an actual act of rebellion.” Jordan Younger
Love Received
By: Gabriela Yareliz When a loved one has passed, we still think of them every day. We love them. We miss them. There would be no point in missing someone we won’t see again, but it’s like we know. We know this is not the end. I wonder what happens to all the love accumulatedContinue reading “Love Received”
The Unconscious
“The unconscious wants truth. It ceases to speak to those who want something else more than truth.” ADRIENNE RICH
A Middlemarch Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz There she was on the train, staring into her copy of Middlemarch by George Eliot. I like Middlemarch. I even read my favorite New Yorker writer’s book that pulls themes from it, Rebecca Mead’s My Life in Middlemarch. Virginia Woolf (one of my all time favorites) said that Middlemarch is “one ofContinue reading “A Middlemarch Summer”
Ideas for NYC: Open Letter #4
Dear Eric Adams (NYC Mayor), We need to discuss the bridges and tunnels. Let’s start with the bridges. The Macy’s Firework Show on July 4th utilized the Brooklyn Bridge nicely. The best part of the show was the American flag waterfalling off of the Brooklyn Bridge. The projections on the Brooklyn Bridge were fun andContinue reading “Ideas for NYC: Open Letter #4”
The Real Scandal
I don’t remember how I ran into this clip because I don’t follow this host, but it is on point. I am still mind-blown that this administration, who declared itself to be the face of accountability, truth, restoration of trust in institutions and transparency is now praying we will all just forget about this. GhislaineContinue reading “The Real Scandal”
The Emergence of Joy
“Happiness requires that you find meaning – and meaning comes from suffering.” Arthur Brooks By: Gabriela Yareliz SamySam on Instagram has an infectious energy I admire. He stands there and hollers his signature, “Life is goooooood,” and then, does a little dance. I just want to bottle that energy up and keep it in myContinue reading “The Emergence of Joy”
The Client List
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am annoyed. Suddenly, there is no Epstein client list. This was said by the same people who previously said they were reviewing it (Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel…). This administration, like the ones before it, is protecting pedophiles and criminals. They lack integrity, and they think we are stupid. PressContinue reading “The Client List”
Views from the Train Seat
By: Gabriela Yareliz Another day, another set of observations from the train and curiosities. A bald tattooed man is deep in his book. He feels the need to read while leaning, full body, into the aisle. He makes faces while he reads like he is performing for us. Like a mime Reading Rainbow. The airContinue reading “Views from the Train Seat”
