My roommate asked:
“Do you ever regret starting this?”
Honestly?
The hate? Yes.
Losing friends? Yes.
The 3AM anxiety spirals? Absolutely.
But speaking up?
Not once lmao
Sofia and I got coffee again today.
She looked lighter.
“I told my roommate.”
“About what?”
“That I’m conservative.”
Her roommate stared for 10 seconds and said:
“Girl… me too.”
They’d been living 10 feet apart for 2 years, both pretending.
A journalist just DM’d me asking for an interview.
A JOURNALIST. 💀
I’m not a political figure.
I’m just a girl with opinions and a laptop.
Apparently that’s enough to make headlines now.
I told my dad I was nervous.
He said:
“You think this presentation is hard? You already know the language. You just have to use it.”
Then he hung up because my dad only allows 90 seconds of emotions. 💀
Just ran my presentation again.
12 slides. 10 minutes.
That’s 50 seconds per slide. 💀
Who am I? I’m not a TED Talk speaker. I’m a cheerleader with too much coffee and too much confidence online.
How the fuck should I manage that lol😭
Sofia texted me:
“How are you feeling about tomorrow?”
Me: “Like I’m about to throw up for 24 hours.”
Her: “Same. And I’m not even presenting.”
She’s coming just to sit in the back and support me.
“If you get nervous, look at me.”
“What will you be doing?”
“Praying.”
Last night I had a crazy anxiety dream:
Walking into my presentation naked.
Except my brain added a PowerPoint clicker and my abuela in the front row eating a pastelito. 💀
I’ve rehearsed 14 times.
WE WON. WE WON THE COMPETITION. I HIT THE BASKET TOSS. I FLEW AND THEY CAUGHT ME AND I STUCK THE LANDING AND MY COACH CRIED AND I CRIED AND MY TEAMMATE PUKED FROM ADRENALINE AND IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHAOTIC MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
going to bed. competition at 9am. presentation tuesday. life falling apart in general.
if I break my collarbone tomorrow at least my last tweet was poetic 💀🤍
I am okay. I am 21 and I am alive and I am free and tomorrow I get to fly. literally. that's what a basket toss is. you fly and you trust and you land. and sometimes you fall. but you get back up. that's the whole thing. that's the entire thing
What a quote lol I’m genius hehe😭
Got a DM from a trans athlete today.
She said she didn’t agree with everything I post, but she appreciated that I never treated her like she wasn’t human.
You can disagree without dehumanizing.
That shouldn’t be controversial. But here we are. 🤍
Friday. Competition tomorrow.
Coach put me as the flyer for the basket toss.
Am I terrified? Absolutely. 💀
Abuela says: “El miedo es gratis.”
Fear costs nothing.
Courage? That costs everything lol.
my professor just emailed me again. he moved the presentation to a larger hall because "there's been interest from other faculty." sir. it's a 10 minute student presentation about basic biology. why are you treating this like a hearing. I'm 21.
I don’t have time for this bs💀
