By: Gabriela Yareliz Just arrived to NYC. I am on a random bus. #adventure I am in a Cheryl Strayed kind of mood. “I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl: December 27, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This will be a simple, no-frill post. I don’t have too much to say. I know. Rare. Maybe that is a lie, though. We’ll see how long this post ends up being.

Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s Monday! (Partytime music in background). I hope you are ready to conquer your week. The weekend was nice.

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, nothing is wrong on the outside. Everything external is fine. Oftentimes, what we are fighting is on the inside; our fears.
How the Sequel Began: Part II
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was standing on the street waiting. I was waiting for the real estate agents who were supposed to meet me at that particular apartment. It was the day right after the traumatic two-day bar exam marathon. As I waited on the hot, sunny sidewalk, I observed the rundown but bursting atContinue reading “How the Sequel Began: Part II”
Thoughts from a Temporary Cat Lady
By: Gabriela Yareliz Where I am staying, there is a little cat that is afraid of many things. Any sudden movement, and she disappears.
