Lately I’ve been on the move, doing things, going places, thinking thoughts, lately. Lately I’ve been thinking through, my life, my path, my people too, lately. Lately I’ve been digging deep, into my being, my heart, my soul, lately. Lately I’ve been asking questions, on who I am, what I want, why even, lately. Lately […]

No One Tells You This
That one day you will be living in the city of your dreams / That one day day you will be living the life you hadn’t even dreamed of / That one day you will be living life outside the usual narrative, and it will be fabulous / That one day you will be sitting […]
Vida Amorosa
Déjalo ir – Let go If I could summarize the mood of my recent vacation to San Juan, Puerto Rico this would be it. From the morning that I reached, I felt a sense of relief, of space, of familiarity in the streets of Viejo San Juan, of warmth in the hearts of the Puerto […]

Did You Ever Get It?
The line from a song / It was words all along / The messenger of my thoughts / It was words all along / All I wanted all this while / To get a moment on your mind / Now all these days have simply gone / And I’ve wondered all along / Did you ever […]
