A Different World
By: Gabriela Yareliz Part of growing up is facing a world that is very different from what it was when you were a child. Countries that once existed now rest in their graves; dreams change; groups move; the arts evolve; what was once great may now be insignificant; what was once valued is now trashed;Continue reading “A Different World”
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”
After a hard day
“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” Kurt Vonnegut

Because you’re worth it (wink)
By: Gabriela Yareliz You must give yourself value. The value you believe you have, and the value you believe God places on you. If you do not, the world will not place this value on you. Instead, it pulls you and stretches you. It surrounds you with destructive habits, numbers, labels and beauty, which in the beginningContinue reading “Because you’re worth it (wink)”
It came upon the midnight clear
By: Gabriela Yareliz This may be a bit cryptic and philosophical, but I will share anyway. (And now worries, it has nothing to do with my fabulous law school.) I think everyone has something that tries to trap them. Something that has been a part of one’s plan or hope maybe one’s entire life; whetherContinue reading “It came upon the midnight clear”
An important message
Political opinion brought to you by: Gabriela Yareliz Riots. That’s all you see worldwide. Riots for the economy; riots against wallstreet; riots against political leaders; riots for and against a coach who failed to do something about a child being abused- riots. These riots no longer look peaceful. Revolutions are ruining countries. Remember Egypt? AreContinue reading “An important message”
