Teenage years
115 Miles Back to You
The summer of 2021 wasn't anything spectacular on paper. There was no big trips, no dramatic life changes, but it was the first summer that made something inside of me shift. That was the summer I met him. For the sake of privacy, i'll call him Kevin, but nothing what I felt for him was pretend.

The Day I Finally Chose Myself: A Story About Healing, Boundaries, and Quiet Courage. AI-Generated.
I didn’t realize how long I had been gone until I opened my Vocal account again. The notification bell was silent. My dashboard looked like a room I once lived in but hadn’t visited in months — familiar, but covered in the dust of forgotten routines.

The Last Letter of a Silent Night
The night had grown still. The room was dim, lit only by a weak bulb hanging in the corner. I sat on the bed with my phone in my hand, scrolling without purpose. My mind was heavy, and sleep felt far away. Suddenly, the screen lit up with a new message.

Reflections
I used to write fanfiction like my life depended on it. It was my catharsis. It was how I helped my sorrow of a movie, book or show ending and creating an extended scene, a larger world, deeper relationships and more of something I loved. I have always loved telling my own stories too, but when I was a kid they were told to others by me just saying it. By telling a teacher a story of one beautiful afternoon of kite flying, romanticized fields and a magical sort of adventure, it was more of how she reacted to it—-which was retelling it to my parents and they were astounded over the detail and descriptions of something that never happened.

The Child Who Shocked the World
In the quiet Andean village of Ticrapo, Peru, life moved gently. Children chased each other through dusty paths, mothers cooked over small fires, and the mountains stood like silent guardians over the people who lived beneath them. Among the children was a little girl named Lina Marcela Medina, a shy, soft-spoken five-year-old with wide brown eyes and a calm nature. Nothing about her seemed unusual—until the day everything changed.

Thanks Ma
Dear Ma, aka Ruby Lee So I know it’s been a minute but I’m writing this letter hoping that the angels pass it along to you in heaven. Guess what mama? You won’t believe what I just did recently. I actually wrote and published my first book. Crazy right? I felt like you of all people needed to hear this good news because if it wasn’t for you none of this would’ve been possible.

The Morning I Realized I Was Burned Out
I didn’t collapse. I didn’t cry. I didn’t break down dramatically, the way burnout is often described in movies. My exhaustion showed up quietly — in small ways I kept ignoring until one morning I couldn’t outrun the truth anymore.
