Late Spring Picks, 2014

My anthem. Life is about knowing your purpose and not giving up as you walk in the direction of your dreams. Hello dear readers, It’s summer in New York! The tree pollen today almost killed me, but all is well. Or should I say, “Alll izzz well”? It has been so long. I know. IContinue reading “Late Spring Picks, 2014”

Mind Games

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we need to let go of all that is bad to be able to embrace the good to come. Sometimes, we don’t realize that choices are in our hands. It’s about deciding what you want and making choices that bring you that much closer. It’s about deciding you want something moreContinue reading “Mind Games”

Love’s Telepathy, Thrice

By: Gabriela Yareliz Love is a lot of things. We can go down a list that resembles 1 Corinthians 13 or a wedding vow. Love is powerful, sacrificial and one of the greatest, if not the greatest, force in the world. And while it’s all those things and more, it’s interesting to think of howContinue reading “Love’s Telepathy, Thrice”

By: Gabriela Yareliz April is done. The tension at school is palpable. Exams are looming in the forecast like heavy dark clouds.

#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”
