Everything

“Our job is not to get better at predicting, projecting, or becoming attached to uncertain possibilities, but having sincere faith that what we know needs to happen next is the key that eventually unlocks everything we’ve been waiting for, everything we’ve ever wanted to be.” Brianna Wiest

Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this and smiled when I saw Pluto and its mixed status. Spoiler alert— now, while Mars is the most popular, Pluto remains on the list. As children, we were intrigued by it.

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on the train stuck in the tunnel. I was seated by the window, and I would lean toward the glass to see the darkness ahead. I was looking for the literal light at the end of the tunnel where the train takes the bridge toward Manhattan. We passed a deceivingContinue reading “The Tunnel”
