To myself: Girl I’m so proud of you! Graduating with honors: Cum Laude. Getting good grades making it to Dean’s List every semester. Graduating debt-free. Doing all of that while also working. You did it all by yourself with no one’s help. Salud mamii!🦋🥂#WPUNJ2022@wpunj_edu
This year forced me to face so many parts of myself and I am left with the realization that you really have to be there for yourself and not expect anyone to understand you.
I just want my whole nervous system to finally rest in 2026. I want my heart to stop racing every day, I want to get out of that constant fight-or-flight mode, and I just want real peace. I’m begging for a year where my spirit can breathe, my mind can slow down, and my life finally makes sense along with the people that’s in it.
