Do I even know the answer to that?
Probably. Maybe. Sometimes. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think "this is me and I'm okay with it." Other times I see myself and I'm like "who even are you?"
Who are we? Who are you?
We're people. We need food and water and oxygen to live. We need love to truly live. We have hopes and dreams.
Here's the basics.
I'm currently 22. I go to the university in my hometown. I also work at a produce company. Let me tell you, the produce world is wild and constantly changing. Something is always happening and it's interesting to see. I'm not a salesperson, just an order taker but that doesn't stop me from getting to see the behind the scenes of what goes on.
I was born and raised here. I'm a proud American. My parents came from Mexico. I have Mexican roots and the culture is a part of my life. I get the best of both worlds. I love it. I'm proud of it. I wouldn't change it.
I'd say I'm Catholic but it goes beyond that. I think religion should be between the individual and God. It's a personal connection that you shouldn't have to prove to other people. No one is going to come up to me and tell me that I don't believe in God. Because I do believe and no one has the right to say that I don't.
I love reading and writing and watching movies. I spend too much time day dreaming and not enough time day dreaming. I love hanging out with my family and friends. I love music so much. I used to play the violin and there are days I miss it so much it hurts. I love Disney. I grew up watching Disney and still get excited over the newest Disney movies.
I have five dogs I am absolutely in love with because they're amazing (I love dogs in general) but my dogs are family to me.
If you saw me on the streets you wouldn't even look at me. I'm just another face you don't even see in your daily life. Dark brown eyes, brown skin, black hair. I'm simply ordinary. What if instead of peoples' looks we saw their minds when walking down the street? What would you see?
Maybe then I'd stand out. You'd see a constant hurricane with the sun shining and the silver lining in a constant battle. You'd see this whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. I feel too much. I think too much. This I know for a fact. I'm a pessimistic optimist. But I'm also an optimistic pessimist.
I've got a lot to say and write. If no one reads this blog that's fine. If even one person reads it, that will be just as exciting too.
What do I plan to do with this blog?
Show a glimpse of what goes through my head.
I want to talk about my thoughts on anything and everything, college, life, love, religion, politics, my country, the world as well as lesser subjects like reviews on books I read and movies I watch. I want to get back into writing so the way to get in the mood for writing is by talking about it so once in a while I'll talk about my writing projects. I'm not sure how often I'll write in this blog. But I just want to have it there for me to turn to. I'm excited and there are very few things that excite me. Food, dogs, movies, music, books, people, Disney...okay there's many things that excite me. Don't judge.
So buckle up, sit back and join me if you wish...
