By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining inside of my train car. It’s not supposed to be raining in here, but there is a steady drip-drip. An Asian girl held out her hand and laughed, trying to catch a drop of the mystery liquid falling. I almost opened my umbrella in here, but instead moved to anotherContinue reading “A Rainy Day”

Your Time
I was reminded about time by Gary Vee and Andy Frisella. Andy Frisella, creator of 75hard and 1st Phorm, is always an inspiration. Andy Frisella shared this photo of him at age 36, ten years ago. Sometimes, all we need to do is recognize the time we have and take responsibility for it. And it’sContinue reading “Your Time”

One week closer to fall weather, my friends. After rain, NYC has felt considerably cooler this week. It’s nice to feel a breeze when you walk. Bless. IG is filled with two camps— “last of summer” and “it’s fall”. I finished Nicole Sach’s book, and it never got better. I don’t think I have readContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.14.26”
Deep Nightmare
By: Gabriela Yareliz I woke up from a nightmare, this morning. It reminded me of what it felt like when the COVID vaccine mandates ended in NYC. I haven’t said much about Anthony Fauci pleading the fifth a million times, but I have been paying attention. I wonder who else has been paying attention. TheseContinue reading “Deep Nightmare”
The Pole Battle
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some days on the train, we fight for our lives. Other days, we fight for our pride. There was a man who was leaning his whole body against a pole I needed to hold onto. Butt, torso, shoulders and head. I have never seen a body contort more to make so muchContinue reading “The Pole Battle”
Summer Days
“When I look back on this summer, when I look back on my life, I want to know that I was fully there. I want to know that I was the first to arrive and the last to leave.” Tylee Shay By: Gabriela Yareliz Summer makes us dream. Strawberry patches. Lake water. Boats. An oldContinue reading “Summer Days”

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”
No Skipping
“People skip the parts of themselves they’re not ready to face. They avoid the very things that, once they’re willing to face them, open the door to profound growth. Those are the things that ultimately lead to healthier relationships, a happier life, and a lighter relationship with yourself. But because they’re uncomfortable, people keep skippingContinue reading “No Skipping”
Rollerblades
By: Gabriela Yareliz Where did all the rollerblades go? Did someone kidnap them all and bury them? Did they disappear with Toys-R-Us? Did the manufacturing center go bankrupt or burn down? We used to rollerblade so much on the 90s. Why is this not a hobby anymore? And don’t tell me it’s because too manyContinue reading “Rollerblades”

A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”
