Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017

[Image from Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Sunday morning to you! French election, round one, kicks off. I need to find a minute today and whip out some stationery and write to Madame about our election concerns. I think I will wait until I see who dominated in this premier tour. Participation is atContinue reading “Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017”

How Love Unfolds

Have you ever seen something that makes you recall and relive your own story or experience? I think that as we get older we start seeing and accepting things for what they are. For example, ourselves. When I saw the last season of New Girl, I realized I was not and would never be likeContinue reading “How Love Unfolds”

This Place

By: Gabriela Yareliz This place has never been a place where I pose in daily outfits or sponsor brands. It’s not filled with photos of me posing with a bag dangling from my forearm, while looking impeccable. It’s not a place where I test different shades of makeup or tell you how to eat. IContinue reading “This Place”

Sabbath Glee: March 4, 2017

“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.” J.B. Priestley By: Gabriela Yareliz After two weeks where it felt like someone played tug-of-war with me and my head was pounding, I am here. Still.Continue reading “Sabbath Glee: March 4, 2017”

Thread

By: Gabriela Yareliz 6:00 am: Woke up. Ate my two gummy vitamins. Watched some Stephen Colbert, after morning prayer. 7:00 am: On the train with three magazines stuffed in my bag for comfort. I don’t open the magazine I was reading the day before. I am not particularly interested in reading about the Egyptian presidentContinue reading “Thread”

This is how 2016 began and ended

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”

Reflections Before Bedtime #94

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a good thing my heart is stubborn. It’s also a bit like snow. It can be tough; it can be soft; and it melts in inevitable warmth. It sparkles. It glows. Magic. It’s a good thing I befriend people by force. Before they know it, I have come into their lives andContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #94”

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”

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”
