2023 a brand New Year!

As the celebrations of the holidays are coming to a conclusion, we are heading back to our “normal” routines. Whether it is to kick start the year on a new diet or continue eating as your preference. I write to myself to remind us all to not forget and be kind to yourself. I always…

Am I even a writer anymore?

I question myself as I see my dreams disappearing as I do not feed the person I wished to be. It has been so long since I last dedicated some time to myself and allow myself to be creative. I used to get random bursts of inspiration and I would run to jot down my…

sleep

Waking up I felt okay, I wanted to stay in bed because the sleep felt necessary. However, the burden of life and it’s stresses pushed me to get up. A giant wave of tiredness dragged on me through the day, but I kept pushing and pushing until I was able to walk away. I’m tired.…

This Cruel World

When you think about the beauty of life, you never come to think that there is so much pain all around. So many people disguising themselves with ideas and picture perfect images. Pretending to be happy all at once. When in reality there is no happiness behind the scenes. Happiness. Is everything a person wants…

It’s been over a year

Hello, as I reintroduce myself to the web, I am Zayra. I like to write and share random stuff. Life is precious and I have neglected my joy for writing. Writing is both therapeutic and inspirational to myself. Last year, I'm sure for many the world was a scary place. And so many of us…

Life of Z: Week 3

Hey there! As I write to reflect the past I realize how long and busy it was. I can't remember the last time I sat to enjoy doing nothing. Working two jobs back to back is no joke. Seriously, I'm super tired. However, through all the madness I managed to SURVIVE! It wasn't easy, and…

Life of Z: Week 2

Hello!This week is extraordinary out of my comfort zone. I usually don't tend to go out much because I get anxious or simply don't want to go out. However, I started a new job and that pushed me to get out of my zone a bit. I am a bus commuter so it was interesting…

Overcoming Fears

Hello!I hope you're doing well. I can't believe that June is almost over, summer in SOCAL has been gloomy and honestly, nice. I guess I'm one of those people who thrives in cold weather or cool weather (INSERT SUNGLASSES EMOJI). Haha, just kidding, we are all cool. So, anxiety has been manageable and luckily enough…
