By: Gabriela Yareliz Dear Eric Adams (Mayor): Public things require courteous and considerate users. Absent that, they are destroyed. Public libraries (which we should talk about because funding is being cut, and they barely function pre-cut), public pools, public parks— but let’s talk about public transport.

Hope Against Hope
“Does the acorn dream of the oak? And if it doesn’t, from where is the whisper of spring?” Sophie Ward (From The Love River) By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a quiet morning, with the exception of the gurgling of the radiator and my screaming neighbors (they are positively unwell or just typical New Yorkers). We goContinue reading “Hope Against Hope”
Friday Glee: February 5, 2016
Hi friends, Today, we explore snowy tragedies, what’s in an age (is it really nothing but a number?), questioning what it means to be really “grown up”, the political scene, breakups, languages, and maybe more– you know, if we get to it.

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply
“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare.

He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

New York: Brooklyn beaches
By: Gabriela Yareliz Yes, a new addition to my New York series. As summer has come to a close, I went with my Russian dolls to the Manhattan beach (ironically in Brooklyn), we ate at Nargis, an Uzbek place in Brooklyn with an amazing Avocado salad, and then we hit up the fruit market, BrightonContinue reading “New York: Brooklyn beaches”
New York: NAD Health Summit-FLUSHING, Queens
By: Gabriela Yareliz Kaidi and I went to one of the NAD Health Summit nights. Korean guy I decided was date worthy because he is a makeup artist. (Just kidding; though it would be convenient, I kid you not) We got so much food at this Chinese place, that we had to take it homeContinue reading “New York: NAD Health Summit-FLUSHING, Queens”
It came upon the midnight clear
By: Gabriela Yareliz This may be a bit cryptic and philosophical, but I will share anyway. (And now worries, it has nothing to do with my fabulous law school.) I think everyone has something that tries to trap them. Something that has been a part of one’s plan or hope maybe one’s entire life; whetherContinue reading “It came upon the midnight clear”
