Epiphanies (with a tissue in hand)
By: Gabriela Yareliz The internet is about to be down for a couple of hours. (Shall we resume the discussion on first-world problems?) Today, I realized: 1) Being sick always brings me epiphanies.

You belong to me and all of Paris belongs toContinue reading “You Belong to Me”
How do you measure a year?
By: Gabriela Yareliz What strangeness, the concept of time. I think it’s the ultimate science. Who can decipher time? Time is interesting. It can serve as a warm blanket that makes us feel safe, healed, comforted; or it can leave us like a broken bottle that’s been shattered in an alley that no one willContinue reading “How do you measure a year?”
