I love writing. Sitting now, applying to various jobs and positions in order to keep my passion alive, I continue listing my occupation as writer. As of now, I am still in the process of finding myself, and in conjunction, the specific category of writer I would like to place my title under. At eighteenContinue reading “A LETTER TO MY SELF”

LET IT GO
Pain is a difficult thing to manage. The more people you meet, the more pain you see. The more days you wake up and open the blinds to the world, the more you open yourself up to experiencing pain. I believe we all work to avoid this thing we call pain as much as weContinue reading “LET IT GO”
MY EDUCATION IS NOT YOUR POLITICAL PLAYGROUND
Florida is, and always has been, my home. I was born here. I grew up here. I spent long summer days in the pool with friends and never lived more than a twenty-minute drive from the beach. I love my home — with all its Mickey Mouse regalia and lack of a temperature below fiftyContinue reading “MY EDUCATION IS NOT YOUR POLITICAL PLAYGROUND”
CHOCOLATE AND…
When I began writing this blog, I did so with the intention of combining my aptness for writing with my passion for the array of ventures I was constantly immersing myself in. Over the years, I have written posts on food, fashion, relationships, and more. Truthfully though, I have not adhered totally to my originalContinue reading “CHOCOLATE AND…”

ALONE VS LONELY
I never understood what people meant when they said that are “different kinds of lonely”. A time ago, I was the loneliest I had ever been. Not only did I not have anybody, I directly had people telling me did not want me and diminishing my worth to something I knew it was not. InContinue reading “ALONE VS LONELY”
WAS IB WORTH IT?
From the first day I begin writing my own personal blog, I have had an idea for this exact post. I have wanted to curate a well-rounded review of the International Baccalaureate Program for the past four years, and it became more deeply rooted each time I saw another one of my peers leave forContinue reading “WAS IB WORTH IT?”
WELCOME TO SEASON 2
It is a good day to drink a cup of coffee and write. Welcome back to Chocolate and Politics. I know it has been what seems like an everlasting hiatus as my blog posts slowly tapered off into oblivion. But, I owe you an explanation: about where I have been, what I have been doing,Continue reading “WELCOME TO SEASON 2”
YOU DEFINE YOU
I am someone who experiences high highs and low lows. There are days when I smile at every stranger I see, walk with my head held high, and sing embarrassing songs with the car windows down and zero care about anyone who may be watching me. Then there are other days. The ones where myContinue reading “YOU DEFINE YOU”
