I know it’s pretty obvious that I am huge music fan, but not many people know that my love of music originated from my love for poetry. Spoken word knocked me off my feet when I discovered it (late at night one night). The more I watched videos on YouTube, the more I became obsessed…
I have had a complicated relationship with Grey’s Anatomy for a couple of years now (I love it, I hate it, I love it), but this current season of Grey’s has made me fall in love with the series all over again. Though I vowed to stop watching after McDreamy died (I’m still not okay),…
Sometimes walking away from a relationship is the easiest thing to do, but sometimes it’s almost impossible. I am 26 years old and I have been engaged twice, the second time I was engaged to an older man (mid 30’s and I was about 22-23 at the time) and the demise of our relationship was…
I have had the worst couple of days and I almost talked myself out of going to this show. I now realize that that would have been completely ridiculous being that I’ve been excited about this show since I bought the pre-sale tickets, but alas depression is a tricky motherf*****. The point is, I was…
The last four days have been kind of amazing; my heart is currently filled to the brim and there is a permanent smile plastered on my stupid face. On March 31st at about 7:30PM, Sophia Julianna Perez was born. That’s right losers, I’m an aunt again and I am ecstatic about it. Now, I know…

Sure, discovering her music wasn’t exactly an accident; my mother basically forced her upon me but her music has been crucial to my life ever since. Imagine this little Mexican child looking at her television and…
There’s always two ways to look at a situation, it just so happens that more often than not, we choose to look at the negative side of things. I do a lot of preaching about positive thinking and staying optimistic but unfortunately I rarely practice what I preach. So it can be overwhelming when you…
When I was a teenager all I listened to was R&B music. My life consisted of Jagged Edge, Monica, Dru Hill, Brian McKnight, Brandy, etc. Unfortunately as I’ve gotten older I have made a conscience decision to stay away from R&B music. I just felt like the music lost it’s genuine feeling and everything sounded…
We are taught, at a very young age, that in order to survive you must be in constant competition with the other women around you. Someone will always be prettier, tougher, smarter, louder than you so you must always try to beat her. This idealistic way of thinking is shoved down our throats through movies,…
My favorite kind of music is the kind you can feel in your soul. It’s fine to dance to a song, it’s okay to sing in the shower to a catchy tune, it makes sense to have a dance party in your car to a fun hit; but the songs you feel in your soul…
