“Don’t forget to look up.” Ren By: Gabriela Yareliz My head was down. I was reading. I missed a train stop earlier this week because my head was down. 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”

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”
Wrestling
By: Gabriela Yareliz “If you believe you can completely map your partner, then you do not really know that person. […] A real relationship is a wrestling match; it is a grappling phenomenon from which you both emerge transformed.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson The truth is none of us is static. We are ever evolvingContinue reading “Wrestling”
Compass
By: Gabriela Yareliz “If you listen to what other people think, you are useless as a compass.” Ryan Holiday said he heard this somewhere… It has stayed on my mind ever since I heard it from him. I want us to think about ourselves as a compass. A compass works through alignment with the magneticContinue reading “Compass”
Truth
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am reading a book by an investigative journalist. Someone who became obsessed with digging up the truth on a matter. They lost a lot along the way. The truth had a price. I guess it always does. The truth is an expensive thing. It’s simple and complex. It’s bitter and sweet.Continue reading “Truth”

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”
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”
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”
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”
