if there’s something i hate more than white folks telling mexicans to speak english, it’s mexican-americans who lost their ability to speak spanish telling mexicans to speak english

some people cut through hearts,
sharpening their wounds the same
way a blade cuts through a
wooden pencil.
and i learned to write
“i love you, from day one”
over and over like
a school girl being punished.
i tell my heart to stop loving him, it is absurd
that the message still hasn’t been received.
my heart only learns from experience.
so i watch it struggle as it

This is the part of the night where I lay still. My music on shuffle and one old song begins to play sending my brain scrambling through stupid memories. This is the part of night where I can’t turn my brain off and I start to over think and feel like I’ve lived wrong my whole life. Where if someone offered a solution I would take it without second thought. I’m vulnerable at...

you begin to call his bed your home as you hold on tight trying
to find security within the sheets.
but home demolished quicker than you can move your stuff in.
tell yourself you will work hard for him.
let him poison your body with every soft spoken confession that
kisses your skin.
call him dear, call him darling, listen to him mutter your name with no
grace.
you will call it love.

The reason I got so mad at you for making fun of people with depression is not only because it’s a shitty thing to do, but because I have battled depression for the past three years. I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it is to keep going when your head tells you not to. I have wanted to off myself more times than I have praised myself for anything good I have done. I like to...

I. over breakfast, my father asks what you see in me. I bite the inside of my cheek, shove a forkful of pancakes into my mouth, notice the salt shaker eyeing my wounds. II. you launch “I love yous” from a Brooklyn fire escape. they travel 3,000 postcard miles and collapse into my ear, exhausted. I pinch their noses, breathe new life into...

Regardless of the things I have been put through and continue to battle, I can’t help but feel grateful to still be here. This is an appreciation post. Not just appreciating everything I have and those who I have in my life but also grateful that I know there’s room to always improve as a person. I’m not perfect, I’m probably just as broken as many of you, or maybe my...

Today is another day where my joints ache and all I want to do I keep laying here like I am nothing but another sheet in this bed. Spread so delicately only to be found on the floor once again in the morning. It is one of those things you cannot pretend isn’t there when you feel it in every movement you make, the way your body already feels like it is broken. The way your head is on manic...

I cannot focus when all I hear is the sound of static, and all I can see are corpses on fire every time I close my eyes.
Tell me I am okay and I will throw my insides out on the pavement for you and allow you to see what broken looks like.

books!
book recommendations, same as all the previous ones, here are some books i picked up yesterday and recommend.
LOVE STORY by ERICH SEGAL. i heard it was a good book and it seemed pretty interesting/ comical in the first pages i read. i am not into romance novels but i decided to give this one a try. it is also a fairly quick and easy read.

to the woman who called me fat this morning:
thank you.
thank you for belching your hurtful words in front of the young girls behind you
and letting them know that if their body ever dared to look anything like mine, they would be repulsive.
thank you, for stringing those words into the corner of my brain and having me watch them dangle for hours as i put on a sweater to camouflage my belly flap.
for letting me know that at five feet and...
