By: Gabriela Yareliz I started off the year feeling like I was punched several times in the stomach and knocked to my knees to cough up blood. I didn’t say much at the time because my goal is to always uplift. So, because I write the blog mainly for myself (it’s my self reflection), IContinue reading “This is how 2016 began and ended”

Tuesday Badinage: November 29, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s raining in NYC, today. Christmas decorations are up. The city looks beautiful and glittery, like the movies. I had a hectic morning. Lost my metro card, missed my train, almost didn’t make it into Court on time because of the weather and the long security line wrapped around the building. IContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: November 29, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #92
“Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.” – David Levithan By: Gabriela Yareliz Is it bad that I am exhausted from the weekend? I had decided to rest this weekend until I decided to venture to grounds that don’t let me so much as sit downContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #92”
Blue
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning I woke up at 4 a.m. from a nightmare. I looked at my phone and saw that the nightmare was nothing compared to what had actually happened last night. I spent last night in Manhattan at the NBC Democracy Plaza/ Rockefeller Center. Big screens flashed candidate state wins. Each timeContinue reading “Blue”
Sunday Girl: October 23, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Friday came to a close as I sat down to eat a stale piece of leftover pizza after making my apartment look like Monica Geller had come to visit. As I chewed on the pizza, I perused an article about the shelf life of pizza in a refrigerator, on BuzzFeed. Halfway throughContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 23, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #90
By: Gabriela Yareliz We walked from the West Side to the East. We walked through that Central Park tunnel; you held the umbrella and all the bags. You shielded me from the chilled showers. A bus came, and we were almost bathed by the NYC puddle filth. When we saw the bus; the water; theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #90”
Per Dimenticare
[Per Dimenticare= Italian for: [In Order] to Forget You] By: Gabriela Yareliz It has been a happy set of months, where I have been watching friends’ wedding videos, attending weddings and finding out about new life chapters beginning. It has filled me with so much happiness for those friends; those I love so much. In theContinue reading “Per Dimenticare”
Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s like someone flipped a switch. Autumn began with the cutest Google animation of little rocks eating a leaf (did anyone else see the adorableness?), and then, BAM, sixty-degree weather that makes your nose run. I was almost stranded in Jersey City last night with a shut-down Path train station, and aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016”
Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! I saw a sign that said: “I run on caffeine, chaos and cuss words.” So cheesy. But, it made me wonder– what do I run on? We all run on something; especially on Mondays. What are your three things? I guess mine sign would say: “I run on vegan/gluten free proteinContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016”
The Hours: Week of September 4, 2016
The most random, memorable pieces of conversation from the week. Because sometimes, people say things that make you *double take*. – Gabriela Yareliz 9/8 @9:31pm: “I am stopping all sorts of traffic to get my life together.” (F parallel parking) 9/9 @11:10am: “We owe a lot to the clerks office who lost all the files.”Continue reading “The Hours: Week of September 4, 2016”
