ABOUT ME

This little corner of the internet is the product of many late-night thoughts, a little too much wine, a pen running freely across an old notebook, and nights out with my girl friends. Please, sit down, drink a glass of wine. I am glad you’re here.

There are signs that tell you to slow down, to stop, to take care of yourself, and I've had mine, and it's a rather tough realization. I thought I had it all under control. I don't. I pride myself on my fierce independence but as I've been reminded multiple times, this can turn into blind stubbornness very quickly. And here's the thing.... Nobody ever has anything under control. Control is an illusion we grownups are really good at, a lie we are fed over and over again. And maybe in a few days I'll again delude myself into thinking I can control it all, but for now I'm giving up. I'm taking a rest. I'm smelling the roses and letting the Universe do its thing for a while without me. This surrender feels fantastic. . . . . . . . . . #dirtysoulsunite #littlestoriesofmylife #discoverunder1k #tampabae #thecaptionclub #chattycaptioncommunity #postitfortheaesthetic #distractionsandinspirations #discoverunder5k #feelfreefeed #naturally_imperfect #memyselfandportrait #selfportrait_society #colombiana #igers_tampa #quietchaotics #curateyourownfeed #livemoremagic #everysquareisastory #slowdownwithstills #keepitwild #freedomthinkers #tampabloggers #blogandbeyond #ipreview via @preview.app
I have no idea of where I am going or how I will end up there. But wherever that is, there will be lots of wine and endless baths and sunshine spilling through the window every day . . . . . . . . . . . #dirtysoulsunite #littlestoriesofmylife #discoverunder1k #tampabae #thecaptionclub #chattycaptioncommunity #distractionsandinspirations #postitfortheaesthetic #flashesofdelight #discoverunder5k #feelfreefeed #naturally_imperfect #awhisperedbeauty #petitejoys #ofwhimsicalmoments #mybeigelife #mystoryoflight #prettylittlethings #everysquareisastory #curateyourownfeed #livemoremagic #myunicornlife #slowdownwithstills #keepitwild #ipreview
From the blog... ... So here it is: my ode to books. Some taught me very useful skills. Others taught me that reading trash romance novels by the beach is a worthwhile use of my time. They all occupy a special place in my heart.... Read the entire post over at the blog.

My mom taught me many valuable things... Being comfortable with my own femininity was not one of them; I had to do that one all by myself. The hardest part was probably learning to stop associating femininity with weakness: Wearing lipstick, doing my nails, wearing beautiful but rather uncomfortable high heels for the fun of it, it takes nothing away from my many qualities as a human being. And now, I go to these things for comfort, just as much as I seek out an evening by the beach or a good workout at the gym to get me out of a funk. So whatever gender expression you are, or feel most comfortable with: allow yourself to bask in it fully, without shame or reservations. Life gets so much more interesting once you do . . . . . . . . . . #tampabae #littlestoriesofmylife #dirtysoulsunite #postitfortheaesthetic #thecaptionclub #chattycaptioncommunity #distractionsandinspirations #flashesofdelight #petitejoys #memyselfandportrait #selfportrait_society #colombiana #discoverunder1k #naturally_imperfect #awhisperedbeauty #igers_tampa #tampagals #freedomthinkers #everysquareisastory #the_gentle_manifesto #prettylittlethings #livemoremagic #captureyourstyle #slowdownwithstills #keepitwild #latinablogger #ipreview
there is change in the air, thrumming deep in my bones: the winds of chance blowing whichever way they want. This knowledge both terrifies and excites, and I can't control any of it, just hold on tight and wait it out, and when the time comes, dust myself off and rebuild myself from the wreckage. . . . . . . . . . . #dirtysoulsunite #littlestoriesofmylife #discoverunder1k #tampabae #thecaptionclub #chattycaptioncommunity #postitfortheaesthetic #distractionsandinspirations #flashesofdelight #naturally_imperfect #memyselfandportrait #selfportrait_society #the_gentle_manifesto #awhisperedbeauty #petitejoys #ofwhimsicalmoments #mybeigelife #mystoryoflight #curateyourownfeed #prettylittlethings #pursuewhatislovely #myunicornlife #livemoremagic #everysquareisastory #freedomthinkers #ipreview

Back when I was in college, my crush looked me in the eye and said, "yeah, but, you act and talk just like a man!". Well honey, apparently I occupy space with the confidence of one, too.
