By: Gabriela Yareliz Have we made everything too complicated? *Plays Avril Lavigne “Complicated”* Cigarettes are always bad, kids, but the meaning of the image above hit home with me. What the hell were we doing in the 90s? I guess doing exercise aerobics videos (remember the step?) and there were crash diets. But it wasContinue reading “Retreat to the 90s: Pop-tarts, Fitting Rooms and Paradoxes”

Wonderwall
“And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you.” “Wonderwall,” Oasis By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought of Mr. H this week. He was my middle school math teacher, the first year IContinue reading “Wonderwall”
Closing Out 2025
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s cold and gray out here in NYC. Feels like 12F outside. It’s sick, but this is the price we pay for all seasons. Some slushy mountains of snow remain. The truth is, there are days when I can close my eyes and see the sunset at Cedar Key, salty air hittingContinue reading “Closing Out 2025”
Mature
I have memories of getting good grades and getting the Metamorphosis CD. I loved flipping through the booklet. It also came with a special DVD that had three music videos on it. There it was, spinning in my purple boombox while I would get ready for the school Christmas show. Curling iron on; glitter onContinue reading “Mature”
Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
Regret and the Present
By: Gabriela Yareliz Just saw an Asian guy jump the turnstile. I wanted to scream to the girl with him who paid to run fast from this cheap fool. Life is tragic when you are criminally cheap. Jordan B. Peterson talks about how we can’t twist reality and then avoid having it snap back atContinue reading “Regret and the Present”
Dare You To Move
By: Gabriela Yareliz They say you can tell a lot about a person based on the music they like. Here is a nugget about me— I loved Switchfoot after they were heavily featured in A Walk To Remember, so it has been about 23 years of loving their music. No song of theirs hits asContinue reading “Dare You To Move”
Peace is the Key
By: Gabriela Yareliz As I’ve expanded my learning in biohacking and self-experimentation for health, one thing has become a highlight. I have realized that for many health goals, whether it is lowering glucose, lowering stress, burning fat and/or balancing hormones, most of these things start with a question– “How can I make my body feelContinue reading “Peace is the Key”
I’m Not Moving
By: Gabriela Yareliz I had this song’s melody stuck in my head. I only remembered a part of the lyrics, something about “missing me”. I found out a ton of songs have that lyric as I searched high and low. I hummed it to every app and device imaginable. I searched the Top 40 listsContinue reading “I’m Not Moving”
