    Motivation – You got this

    Seeking motivation when feeling in need of a little push. Someone who believes in me. Anybody. I wish I had people around who could tell me that I can do it. That they’re proud of me for what I’m doing. Recognition and acknowledgment. Basic things that I believe everyone needs at different degrees. I want…

    RX to Self: Please Slow Down

The constant struggle to try to belong…

  • phantasiis – My New Music Project

    Exploring new sounds and emotions through music is important to me. I’m revisiting lyrics and ideas in Spanish, as reflected on my last spoken word record. This turned into my new project: phantasiis. This project of mine is going to be entirely in Spanish, my first language. There’s something in me that I want to…

    Falling Gently

    This post is about self-awareness. I was on a funk for some time. Now, things are different because I think about them differently. Its perspective. As I’ve discussed on my last post update, I took a break from digital distractions. I realized in a few days how much time I had to do things that…
