THIS POST HAS A SOUNDTRACK. (I know it can be annoying to press play, and then scroll back up to stop the song when it’s time for the next one, but indulge me). 1] Do me a favor and click play on this, so it plays while you read: By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome to NewContinue reading “West Village Girl; living in her Greenwich Village world”

#Neighbors
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s funny how when you live in an apartment building, you know your neighbors. I am not talking about full conversations and dinner parties (although, some may be that lucky)… I guess it would be more accurate to say that you know about your neighbors. There’s the neighbor who you believe neverContinue reading “#Neighbors”
Your Future
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we are afraid of what the future holds. We are usually afraid of things we don’t understand or things we can’t control. Uncertainty. It’s a scary thing. A lot of us like to feel like we are in control of something. It’s that desire to control that sometimes stops us fromContinue reading “Your Future”
All About Your Heart
By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought I would actually write something; a short note perhaps. The semester is ending. Time is just running like sand between our fingers. It feels like we are on a car that is on fire heading toward a finish line that is actually made of caution tape. Life has been veryContinue reading “All About Your Heart”
False Spring
“When spring came, even false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good asContinue reading “False Spring”
As the fog lifts

Today, I found my devotional, Limitless, by Nick Vujicic, so inspiring. “Just know better days are ahead, and this too shall pass. Your comeback, like mine, may come in small steps day by day, over a period of weeksContinue reading “As the fog lifts”
I will write now–
“Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” pg. 22, Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s finally warmer than 60 degrees in my little living space. It’s warm out; warmContinue reading “I will write now–”
You Belong to Me
“So I went on writing. The story was writing itself and I was having a hard time keeping up with it. […]I’ve seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all of Paris belongs toContinue reading “You Belong to Me”
Becoming a Blessing
By: Gabriela Yareliz “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birdsContinue reading “Becoming a Blessing”
Exclusive
By: Gabriela Yareliz What’s in a name? Apparently, a lot. There are many popular gyms in New York, as a “Manhattanite” student, two come to mind: Crunch and Equinox. Crunch can be found on many street corners of the Manhattan. It has a purple banner with its bicep logo. Students often go to Crunch. TheyContinue reading “Exclusive”
