nation of women

There was a video on the CNN website saying that these past 100 days may have been the worst of any presidency yet. I am probably the least political person I know, but I have strong feelings toward this presidency. 

Although we should be hopeful and trust that President Trump will do what he believes is best for our country, many people have begun to live in fear. Fear of being deported, fear of having rights taken away, fear of violence… The list goes on and on. 

I personally am most afraid of having my rights taken away. As a woman I have to work twice as hard as men in order to get what I want. As a woman of hispanic origin, I need to work three times as hard. My wish is for myself and women across the country to be seen as equal to men because we can do all the same as them and even more. But with President Trump, my hopes of seeing a country that is completely equal have been let down. 

The way he talks about women is revolting. The disrespect that is received makes me feel sickened. Rape is definitely a big deal although President Trump speaks about it so carelessly. And with the rights of women becoming limited, rape becomes even more of a serious topic. What us women can do with our bodies are rights, not privileges, and I don't believe that President Trump fully understands this. 

The 2017 Women’s March perfectly showcased this right we hold to our bodies. Our country has the right to peacefully protest, and I am happy to support the cause and voice my thoughts instead of sitting on my butt complaining. Our country can do something about our president by standing together in our times of need. We can make a difference by showcasing our thoughts on "freedom and justice for all." :))

my life feels lopsided

Today was just another day. Same old, same old. Everything is caught up in the same routine. I have gotten used to my surroundings and the life around me. The people, places, and things I do don't change. I feel nothing, but also everything at the same time. My mind feels bland. It also feels overflowing with emotion. Its something I can't describe. One minute I care, the next I don't. I need a long hug. Or a long bath. Or a long nap. Something. I need something to snap me out of this and bring me back to reality. The reality that is filled with adventure and surprises and friends and randomness. I understand that with this reality can also come failure and sadness and heartbreak, but that is the balance. There is beauty in that balance. I currently don't feel that balance. I'm not sure why. My life is leaning more towards the negative side. I do not enjoy it. Maybe something good is coming. I hope so. Many moments of pure content. Because I don't feel...

more than just a dream

          saturday night.  One time my friends and I went to a Fitz and The Tantrums concert where we danced and jumped around until our feet felt like they were just about to fall off. The experience was an 11/10.  We then spontaneously decided to go to formal 15 minutes before it started. It was very entertaining and full of bad dancing to say the least ... I am someone who forgets to go with the flow a lot of the time. I miss so many opportunities by not being spontaneous.  I am first to say this is something I need to work on. All of saturday's plans were last minute and brought me such a great time. Fitz and The Tantrums were phenomenal and seeing them with friends made the experience so much better! so much love for my gals and this night<3

No secrets here ... JK

I overshare. Fact. Everyone and their mother knows everything about me. Anyone can find out what I had for breakfast, my current mood, if I'm on my period ...by asking or simply me telling. No need to say anything for me to tell you my life story ;). I share the small, mostly unimportant details of my life, but the big events going on I keep top secret. I only enjoy others knowing my business to a certain point. This point is hard to get to, as my friends know almost everything about me. But as well as they think they know me... they don't. I keep a lot to myself. I hold it all in. Sometimes I feel like I'll explode because of all the thoughts going through my head , but then I just tell myself "I'm fine I'm fine it's FINE!!!" I am transparent because I choose to be. This is both good and bad. Good: Sharing my thoughts and whatever is on my mind helps me bond with others and connect in ways I wouldn't of thought was possible. In a way, I feel lik...
