Welcome to my achieved blog! These posts are from 2018-2019. I wanted to start fresh with a new blog in 2020 because I felt that my brand was going in a new direction. I had an apartment I love, reached a new level professionally, and was starting to think of going back to college. My hope was to showcase a transformation on my site. It was originally my goal to explore emotional topics, and discuss my research on a new level in my new blog. But COVID and the general hostility online made me NOT want to reach a new level of intimacy in my writing. In many ways, it is very disappointing to look back and realize that I’m still struggling to survive and fight for my community.
The Most Racist things a Date has Said to Me
He took a deep breathe and tried to relax. I guess he was nervous about a date with me. Because there was no excuse for what he told me as the conversation began again. He asked me if I liked white guys. And I said yeah, they're good looking. And he said "Yeah, it's good to move up the social ladder"
My First PG 13 Movie
If I was an overprotective parent, where would I hide this? I should mention I was 12 years old at time.
I took every opportunity to look for it, even as mom put me to do chores I would find time to look through our towels while putting a fresh towel away. I would look through our cabinets and behind bottles. It took me several days but it was near where my dad liked to store his machete. Success.
5 Things to Not Say to an Undocumented blogger
Undocumented immigrants function under a much more pure capitalist life because they are not eligible for most socialist benefits that are afforded to citizens. We do however pay taxes for benefits ONLY US citizens can receive. Who is taking advantage of who?
Things I found confusing as an Immigrant to the US
I grew up in the US since I was five but I realized after a few years that when people were talking about "those" people, immigrants, and "aliens" they were talking about me. Being young I was flattered by the term "alien". I was obsessed with documentaries about aliens and wanted to be abducted by aliens. I thought I was superior for being part of the "alien race". I thought "They're just jealous because they're not from space". Invader Zim was my favorite show. I thought since North Americans said I was an alien I must REALLY be an alien and I thought that was really cool.
