Updates & Things
Hello sweet readers,
This week is going to be a busy one — not entirely sure what to write about yet, but I’m happy you’re here. I was so excited to see that my last post about Black Dandy fashion got 43 views! Thank you so much for reading, I hope it helped you understand the topic a bit more.
This week has been full of ups and downs, but everything seems to be pointing toward a healthier, brighter future. Also, I’ve been working five days a week this month at my super-secret job (which I haven’t talked about here yet). It’s helping me save up a little, and more importantly, it helps me practice my conversational English and keeps my mind busy — a nice little shield against my sadness.
The downside? I’m exhausted. My back hurts because sometimes I have to lift heavy stuff. On Sunday, I came home so tired I literally fell asleep on the couch mid-snack, still in my uniform around 11 pm.
Anyway, let’s move on to the weekly updates…
This Wednesday I’m going to a film festival with five short films about Florida. I’ve never been to anything like it, so I’m really excited! Florida, especially Miami, has always felt like my second home. And now it’s official: I got my appointment for the citizenship test, so by July I’ll have two passports!
I could probably get a third one too, Mexican or Spanish. Funny thing about the Spanish one: about 15 years ago, the Spanish embassy in Honduras contacted my grandpa (he was from Asturias) offering citizenship to his family. He refused, saying Spain had treated him and his father badly especially as miners and farmers. Still, I have his old Spanish passport in my little memory box. Who knows, maybe I’ll use it one day.
A friend keeps begging me to go to Spain, but honestly? Portugal looks more like my type of trip.
Last week I went out with a friend. We grabbed coffee that had me feeling like I’d had half a bottle of wine, then walked around the Design District. When he dropped me off, I was still hungry, so we went to the restaurant right across from my apartment. At first it stung a little for personal and nostalgic reasons, but it also helped. Making new memories in places that once meant something can be surprisingly healing.
Spending the day with him made me reflect on things that had been on my mind for weeks. I think I’m finally ready to make a decision. Or at least, part of me is. The other part just won’t move. Have you ever felt that way, sweet reader? Like you really want to do something — you plan it, think it through, even set the day to act — but then you keep postponing it. And when the day finally comes, you convince yourself you’re not ready yet. You trick yourself into waiting just a little longer.
My outfit that day : I think at this point, too much time has passed. I’m pretty sure the other person doesn’t care about anything related to me anymore. Sometimes I still catch myself waiting for a sign that says otherwise. But I guess that’s how these things go. Still, I’ll keep hoping for a little sign maybe from the universe, a song,, something I read or just a simple twist of fate.
My internship is starting a little earlier than expected, which makes me so excited!!! I signed an NDA, so I can’t say much about it, but I’ll be starting on May 19. Wish me luck. I truly believe I can achieve all my dreams and goals in life. I’m so grateful I was raised in a home where my mom always encouraged me to dream big. She never made me feel like my ideas were too much. She always prioritized my creativity and passions. And I will be the same with my future kids. I owe so much to her. Everything I do is with the hope of making her proud.
And dear reader, if you’re doubting yourself if you feel like your dreams are too far away, always bet on your dreams. Your dream job, your wild ideas, your love, your once-in-a-lifetime travels, and those little experiences that make life feel magical. You don’t need to have it all figured out, you’ll find your way there.
Much love, readers. I’ll see you soon. I’m trying to write twice a week just to keep my writing flowing.
