What activities do you lose yourself in? This prompt inspired me, so let's talk about it. I've mentioned this multiple times, I've been a writer for years. Putting pen to paper and letting my thoughts run free has been one of my favorite pastimes since elementary school when my English teacher would ask us to … Continue reading Daily Prompt – 3/17/23

Late Night Power Outages and Thoughts
On Saturday night after much struggles of staying awake while playing Anthem, I went to bed. I'd had a crazy day and needed the rest. Then, as a lot of Puerto Ricans are used to it, I felt something shift in the air and I was wide awake. I heard some beeping. Then I turned … Continue reading Late Night Power Outages and Thoughts
Day Thirty: Trying Again and Again
So I started streaming again. So far have only one stream under my belt but I'm looking to make this a regular thing again. I used to try it back a few years ago but a lot of things got in the way. It's not easy sometimes to do things for me. It's a situation … Continue reading Day Thirty: Trying Again and Again
Twenty Days to Go…
I'm a bag of emotions for June. On one hand I'm eager for it to finally get here but at the same time, I'm scared. Hurricane season starts June 1st. I hate that our governor says he's ready for the season. It's fine and dandy he is, he has priority for restoration of all services. … Continue reading Twenty Days to Go…
Day Twenty Five: Post Maria Stress Disorder
This is a thing and it's so underestimated. Every time we experience a power outage, or any other service goes out, people freak out and lose their minds. I'm one of them. Every time the power goes out, the anxiety just builds until the issue of why it happened is revealed. Lately, it's been over … Continue reading Day Twenty Five: Post Maria Stress Disorder
Day Twenty Two: of Sunday Movies
On Sunday for the first time in a really long time I actually flat ironed my hair carefully so it looked nice, not a rush job. I cared about how it turned out. It looked great. It still holds up a day later. Reminds me that I should do it more often. I love how … Continue reading Day Twenty Two: of Sunday Movies
Day Twenty One: Odyssey, Xûr and a Fortnite
This is my first post in a long while where I'll try to avoid talking about the Hurricane and go back to what I love, gaming. I've been playing Mario Odyssey and I love it. I seriously freaking love it. I can't put it down when I pick it up. It's so much fun to … Continue reading Day Twenty One: Odyssey, Xûr and a Fortnite
Day Twenty: Corruption and the Fish
The whole WhiteFish situation is a mess. I’m glad it’s all coming to light regardless of anyone denying involvement. It’s still a corrupt piece of paper that now apparently nobody signed and nobody approved. That doesn’t change the real situation of the island. We still don’t have power in most of the island. Water is … Continue reading Day Twenty: Corruption and the Fish
Day Nineteen: No Changes
It’s been 35 days since Maria. Nothing has changed in my neck of the woods. I’m back to work and it’s costing me money every day to get there. I bought clothes online. My water that I ordered ages ago still hadn’t arrived. Happy mail is stunted. I’m slowly being covered in bug bites. This … Continue reading Day Nineteen: No Changes
Day Eighteen: ‘The Enemy of a Puerto Rican is Another Puerto Rican’
Today’s title is a quote as said by my roomie, Carlos. He’s said this quite a few times in the past few weeks since Maria struck. He actually has a point too. We’re facing the biggest crisis this island has encountered in these past few decades. Everything is getting out of hand. The power situation … Continue reading Day Eighteen: ‘The Enemy of a Puerto Rican is Another Puerto Rican’
