ABOUT


 

Hi, I'm Ana! I'm passionate about the written word, storytelling, education, development, and all things Latin America! I moved to Canada in 2013 and since then, God has taught me so much about life and faith - and I'm sure this is just the beginning! I hope you'll join me on this journey as I seek to continue growing and learning.

Espero que te unas a mi viaje de exploración, crecimiento y aprendizaje por medio de este blog.

La Pesadilla

Image
Un día desperté Sudando por lo que soñé Y al darme cuenta que no era sueño me asusté Porque di cuenta que A mi mayor miedo me entregué Estaba viviendo en mi propia pesadilla Sentada de 9 a 5 en una silla Así pasaba mi día a día Sin lograrlo todavía  Diariamente rendida ante la hipocresía Es verdad que el trabajo dignifica pero es que el propósito también aplica Porque si no lo rutinario te salpica Y cuando menos te das cuenta, ya nada te identifica No soy la misma idealista que a los diecisiete Las cuentas, la migración, la adultez cortaron mis fantasías con machete Aunque no me guste, no me llene, sí importa el billete Y una década bastó para mandar a mis sueños lejos en cohete No es que esté infeliz, que esté triste Es sólo que es raro, ¿viste? Pensar en todo lo que no te atreviste A hacer cuando el chance tuviste ¿Será verdad eso de que nunca es tarde? A veces el alma me arde Por dejar de ser un fraude  Y dejar atrás lo cobarde Pero lo admito, da miedo Pensar qu...

The Secret of Creativity: ABG (Always Be Gathering)

Image
  Photo by Dayne Topkin on Unsplash I’m really interested in the creative process so I spend a lot of time reading and listening to podcasts about it, and trying to learn from other ‘creatives’. By this, I mean people who make something out of nothing at the prompt of an idea, thought or emotion. I find that it is essential to clarify what one means by creative, as everyone has different ideas of what being one entails. Some contend it is those who specialize in particular forms of art or creative expression (dance, music, painting and the like). Yet, for others, creatives are those who are able to actually live off their art, but I disagree. I believe we all have creative potential. To create means to form something out of existing raw 'materials' (intangibles like sounds or ideas count too), that is in some way different from what came before it. In that sense, most things around us, regardless of their use, purpose, or production methods have been born of creativity. Howeve...

ACOTAR: The Return to my Love for Reading

Image
I can't even begin to describe how much I loved this series, but I'll try. The latter part of December, during which I read the ACOTAR series, was a complete blur. I was only half living in this world, most of my consciousness was elsewhere. Or rather, I should say, was in Prythian, the land where this story takes place. These books had absolutely every single ingredient I look for and love in a book. To me, they encapsulate the very reason why I fell in love with reading in the first place. I am trying to not exaggerate and not give a false overhyped review, but the truth is… I am not exaggerating and I think everything that is overhyped about these books is warranted. I will add the disclaimer that individually, not every book in the saga captured me the same way, but when talking about them as a whole I can just say… wow. And thank you, to Sarah J. Maas. It had been perhaps 10 or 15 years since I read a fantasy series. Over the last few years, I’ve favoured books that explic...
