A Butterfly Dreaming Their Own Reality

Chuang Tzu's famous thought-provoking question, "Was I Chuang Tzu dreaming I was a butterfly or am I now really a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu?" has been an inspiration to me. As my personal journey of self-discovery took me from societal norms to realizing my own truth, it drove home the importance of representation for those who have been historically silenced and invisibilized. 

My identity is not confined by simple categories and labels; instead, it is composed of multiple facets that are constantly growing and evolving as I learn more about myself. With time, memory, and dreams all intertwined in this experience, the most important thing to me right now is loving myself on my own terms without feeling judged by society's standards. No matter what gender roles were imposed upon me in the past, they will no longer dictate how I perceive my worthiness as a person. 

Through dialogue with others in similar situations and celebration of our differences we can make sure our unique perspectives are heard loud in clear - giving us agency over our lives like never before. Acknowledging who we truly are brings out the strength needed to fight invisibilization while creating a sense of belonging amongst us that goes beyond traditional boundaries. Loving oneself unapologetically will open up doors for greater acceptance within ourselves as well as from any external sources seeking recognition too. 

I am no longer stuck between two worlds but rather fully emerged into one where new possibilities lay ahead –a world where everyone can explore their realities without judgement or fear: A Butterfly Dreaming Their Own Reality!

Una Vida Sin Ti

Una vida sin agua en el aceite; sin el dolor de sentir la euforia de lo imposible. Una oportunidad para ser quien quiero ser. De ser aceptado tal cual soy. De aceptarme tal cual soy. Sería una simple amistad: “simple” al lado del mutante tóxico que me hace sentir que cada aliento será el último. Dejar atrás al jadeo y escoger la meditación. Explorar el mundo y continuar mi proceso del ser. Y me da miedo. Me intimida dejar atrás a ese yo que depende de ti, de lo que me haces sentir. Saber que no necesitaba un triciclo a mi edad no me da validez. Me la daban las ruedas extras, aunque mi cuerpo ya no cupiera. Se siente como un adiós. Porque de mi parte lo es: al yo del pasado, a la esperanza de ese futuro juntos, a la seguridad de lo escondido. El aire fresco se siente helado si uno se encuentra sobrecalentado. Y si, siempre me encontré experimentando más de lo que me sentía capaz. No todo es malo: el aprendizaje viene conmigo. Te agradezco tu incapacidad, pues me obligó a superarme. Te a...

If an asteroid hits the Earth

If an asteroid hits the Earth Tell it I already had a problem with existing. Ask him to be cautious when killing life forms; We are universally rare, for all we know. If an asteroid hits the Earth Remind it I completed scholarization.  Let it know the precarization I went through to get it. Beg him to let my tribe attempt survival. In this very real hypothetical scenario it must be known I had made peace with death already. It is only because of it that I held on to life. And precisely why I contributed to putting life in danger. Show the asteroid our pieces of art and culture. It will dig them, I am sure. Tell it about our diversity huntings, It will make it touch its heart before killing us all. Now, very secretly, let it know I get it. I may not approve of its methods, but it doesn’t mean I condemn them. We are too unique for our own good, That has been the reason for our survival & will be the means of our extinction. To end this text, NASA: fuck five years.  Let me kn...

Cortando Cebollas

Cortando cebollas, caí en cuenta. En aquellos momentos que la vida no te deja respirar, Cuando sigues caminando por el miedo a parar, Una simple cebolla es la terapia, el descorche y la fuga. Todo, sin cobrar. La cebolla te ayuda porque te quiere. La cebolla es. Un vegetal, fruto de las raíces de la planta. Pero una incisión en su cuerpo basta para destapar lo estancado. Útil, pero limitada a la disposición de un ser consciente. Me gustaría descubrir un vegetal que al masacrar brindara salud existencial. O un fruto que al masticar curara la toxicidad de los apegos irracionales. Un té que recargara las ganas de vivir. Pero no, lo único que existe es una planta que me hace reír. Así que: cada vez que sientas que el siguiente estornudo te dará un breakdown, Que cuando alguien te pregunte como estas te soltarás a llorar, Cuando te encuentres observando sin mirar, Házte un favor, compra una cebolla y ponte a cortar. Medita sobre su utilidad. Agradece que tienes un vegetal en quien contar. S...
