Writing Myself Into Existence - My Journey Through Writing

 May 30, 2025


Writing Is More Than a Skill—It's a Lifeline


After a profound shift in my life, I now wake each day to a new and promising horizon.  Since I came to this unknown place, I've lost myself somewhere along the line. In this here and now, a revolution has unfolded and I've felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times.  

Since this seismic change occurred, I have come to the realization that I've been craving my ABC's. One of my fundamental ABC's is writing so I quickly wanted to manifest what came to my mind. 

"I’ve come to see writing not just as a skill, but as a tool—one of the most powerful tools we have. It’s a means of empowerment, a voice when silence feels safer. It’s how we tell the world who we are, what we believe, and why we matter.

Writing gives shape to our thoughts, dignity to our struggles, and direction to our dreams. In the academic world, it opens doors—papers, scholarships, degrees—but its reach goes so much further. Writing helps us reclaim our narratives, advocate for change, and connect across differences.

When we write, we don't just communicate. We take up space. We say: I am here. I have something to say. And my voice counts.

So no, I don’t just teach writing or practice it as a craft. I see it as a form of freedom. A form of healing. A way forward.

And I believe everyone deserves access to that power."

Education is health to the mind

Education is health to the mind



Education is the cornerstone of progress, the catalyst for change, and the gateway to opportunity. It empowers individuals, transforms societies, and shapes the future of our world. At its core, education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about fostering critical thinking, nurturing creativity, and instilling values that guide us through life's complexities. 

In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, the importance of education cannot be overstated. It equips individuals with the skills they need to navigate a world increasingly driven by technology and innovation. From mastering the fundamentals or reading and mathematics to embracing the complexities of science and humanities, education opens doors to endless possibilities.

Beyond personal growth, education plays a pivotal role in promoting social cohesion and economic development. It empowers marginalized communities, breaks the cycle of poverty, and fosters inclusive societies where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Education is not just a privilege; it's a fundamental human right that should be accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstance. 

Moreover, education serves as a bulwark against ignorance, prejudice, and intolerance. By promoting understanding, empathy and respect for diversity, it lays the foundation of a more just and harmonious world. In an age where misinformation spreads like wildfire and polarization threatens to tear societies apart, education serves as a beacon of enlightenment and reason. 

As we look to the future, the importance of education will only continue to grow. It will be the key to addressing pressing global challenges, from climate change and poverty to inequality and conflict; it's an investment in the collective well-being of humanity.

To conclude, education is no t merely a means to an end; it's a journey of self-discovery, a path to empowerment, and a force for positive change. It is the foundation upon which we build our dreams, shape our destinies, and strive for a better tomorrow. Embracing the transformative power of education is essential if we are to create a world where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to the common good.

Just reading through some no excuse quotes, I found this great link that holds substantial truth.

My absence here has an ulterior motive because I am in the midst of building something bigger.

Te Agradezco Señor

5 de abril del 2020


Voy a seguir, una luz en lo alto
Voy a oír,
una voz que me llama voy a subir
la montaña y estar aún más cerca de Dios y rezar
Voy a gritar, y este mundo me oirá
y me seguirá

Todo este camino me ayudará,
a mostrar como es este grito de amor
y de fe

Voy a pedir, que las estrellas no paren de brillar
que los niños no dejen de sonreír
que los hombres jamás se olviden de agradecer
Por eso digo, te agradezco Señor, un día más
Te agradezco Señor, que puedo ver
Que sería de mí sin la fe que yo tengo en ti

Por más que sufra, Te agradezco Señor, también te lloro
Te agradezco Señor, por entender
que todo eso me enseñe el camino que lleva a ti
Una vez más, Te agradezco Señor
por otro día
Te agradezco Señor que el sol nació
Te agradezco Señor, nuevamente agradezco…
