Excerpt: My Hearts Break

He could hear cries coming from a corner in the library. He had a pretty idea who was crying…Alexandra. She had been in love with Royce for the last two years and they had become best friends with time. Today Royce had just announced that he and Daisy were in a relationship and Alexandra wasn’t taking it pretty well. There was so much she could handle but definitely not this! She had lost her Royce the only guy that she had really loved and cared.
He didn’t know whether he should talk to her or just let her cry…crying was good. He sighed before grabbing a book and making his way towards her. Her body was shaking lightly as she sat on the floor hugging her knees. He felt sorry and lightly hurt for her. It had been just about a year earlier when he was in her shoes after Alexandra had broken up with him and no matter how much he pleaded she wouldn’t take him back. He took a seat next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered.
“Thanks Daniel.” She tried to smile through the tears but it was useless. The pain was too much for her heart to handle. Alexandra used her hands to cover her face because she didn’t want Daniel to watch her cry. She didn’t want to be vulnerable around him or anyone else. At that point Daniel didn’t know what to do to help her. He had never seen her cry this way before she was hysterical.

Los cerebros que se van y el corazon que se queda

El ensayo: “Los cerebros que se van y el corazón que se queda”, de Magali Garcia Rami es magnifico. Me hizo pensar mucho en mí misma porque mi familia inmigró a los Estados Unidos cuando yo apenas tenia 4 años. Lloraba todos los días, extrañando como nadie se imagina a mi país. Especialmente a mi madre que aún seguía allá. A los 22 años que tengo ahora, ya estoy acostumbrada a vivir aquí. Pero no hay día que no piense o hable de mi país y de esa vida cotidiana y tranquila que se vive allá. García Rami menciona en su ensayo que los inmigrantes o cerebros tienden a reunirse hablar de el país que tratan de no añorar y esa es la realidad.               Cada vez que viajo a la Republica me toma unas semanas adaptarme. Ya adaptada, no quisiera regresar a esta país al menos que no sea de visita. Las reuniones entres vecinos, la confianza, y ese precioso mar que nos rodea, me convierte en una persona tranquila y en una persona ...

I Let Go

 When I commit to something, I like to see it through.  I work hard to see it through.   I ignore the signs and I keep pushing even when there's nothing worth fighting for. This year though, I am learning to let go of everything; I mean people, I mean situations, feelings, and anything that doesn't serve me. And I grieve all of this but in a healthy way.  I allow time to be my friend. I give myself words of encouragement. I give my body, food, vitamins, and exercise. I give my brain meditation and therapy. I read. I cry, I talk to my sister, and my friends. I Let Go. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. At the end of the day, is it really worth forcing something that's not meant to be for you?

A Lost Story #NationalNovelWritingMonth2024

 I watched a love story, a telenovela, many years ago.  I was maybe between the ages of 5-7 when they played it on TV. Something about that telenovela has lived forever in my mind. I thought that maybe with technology advancing we could see the story again. After years of waiting, I found the director (I love the power of the internet) and he gave me the terrible news that...unfortunately, the story was lost forever.  I may not be able to watch it again, but I would like to write it down in my own words. This is my project for the rest of 2024 and part of NANO WRIMO 2024. What are you writing about for the month of November?
