I love my besties!!! I’ve been reflecting a lot about the transformative power of friendship. Friends have the power to push you to be a better person, to hold you accountable, and to make the bad times seem good. I don’t think there’s quite anything like platonic love, and I’m eternally grateful to be surrounded by people I love so deeply!
As I start Spring Quarter, I want to keep an open mind and an open heart. I remember last spring quarter I really struggled with finding my why and staying motivated. It was hard for me to even get through a day without feeling bad about not being productive. This spring quarter, I want to be kinder to myself and find joy in small things. I want to take action and not let time pass me by. I created this vision board to remind myself that I am strong and embody poder de la mujer every day. Here's to Spring Quarter <33
Starting spring quarter of my junior year has made it really set in how much hermanas has shaped my college experience. Since the first quarter of my freshman year, HaU has given me a space where I felt understood, welcomed, and seen. Now in my eighth quarter of being an hermana, I could not be more grateful for what this amazing organization has given me: the strongest support system, core memories, and forever friends. Although I only have one more year of HaU as an undergrad, I really look forward to all the memories I’ll get to make within this next year! Here is a collage of some of my favorite memories from this quarter!
This post is dedicated to my angels, aka the ancestors which protect me and guide me through this life. If you know me, you know that I am a believer, of many things. I am a spiritual woman, who believe that the more things I believe in, the more love I get to experience in this beautiful crazy life. But the older I get, I realize how truly protected I am by the blood that I came from. Mi tata pancho, my mom’s dad, was a man full of life. One thing about my grandparents is that regardless of how they treated their children, they always made sure that we were full of love. I remember the times I would visit Sinaloa to see my family, including my tata. It always felt so warm and the love was always so pure. Sometimes I wish I could learn everything about them and their lives so that I could understand better. There’s so many questions that I wish I could have asked. But now that they exist within me, and apart of everywhere in the world, I know that when I ask they do always find a way to give me an answer. And if they don’t, it’s for good reason; for me to learn on my own. But no matter where I go or what I do, I know that they are protecting me. I remember the first time I ever saw my angels in the sky for the very first time. I was dealing with very severe anxiety, and often to cope I would go on sunset trips to the beach, usually alone. I was there meditating, when I felt a heavy presence around me; like someone was watching. I turned and I saw a face that scared me, some stranger with tattoos on their face. I immediately felt unsafe, unable to concentrate, and anxious. When suddenly, the strangest thing happened, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and when I looked up to check the time it was 4:44. For those who don’t know, 4:44 is the symbol of divine protection from your angels. I started to cry and as I looked ay the sky, I literally saw the face of my tata, and faces that looked like me in many different ways, in the clouds in the sky. When I turned around, the strange man was gone. I know it may sound crazy; but for a believer like me, that was all it took. After that, everywhere I went I gave thanks for the protection that I am blessed with. The more that I recognize them and gratify them, the more my angels consistently remind me that they have me. Since then, I know whenever I am lost that I will always find a way; for they guide me through any and every darkness with a guiding light, one wrapped in love and safety.
