10 year old me struggles and current me struggles
Lunch time the first day of school!! Every new school year, the seniors bring all sorts of instruments and gang up on the new kids (9th and 10th grade) and make them dance!šš That day was our turn in this "senior tradition" at school and it was fun!! If you were a new kid, you better run and hide or try not to run in to us unless you really want to dance!š It was pretty crazy! If you want I can post some video of the gang ups and laugh at the craziness of the students of Manuel Garcia Perez High school, Rincon, Puerto Rico! Lol!š
Watching critical role at the moment and something is happening and for some reason I think it's the tree of names I don't know why I don't know why but I think it's the tree of names
Thank you! Thanks for being there, just a clic away. You brought a smile to my face. There could be something else but I think that if it weren't for you, I would still be that shy, quiet girl. Because of you, I connected with my cousin. You became someone I'm able to talk about and fangirl over when I'm alone or with my friend, and it doesn't matter if others stare, judge or think we're crazy. I hope I can meet you day...šš

Is it weird to feel empathy and sadness for a place that isnāt your home? Is it wrong to feel a pit in your stomach and a hole in your heart when many of your friends and acquaintances, many of the people you admire and many of the people who have served as your mentor in life have once called the island home?Ā
Thereās a full scale riot in Puerto Rico and youāre probably hearing rumblings about it on your timelines. To summarize, there was a leaked conversation on the Telegram app (think WhatsApp) in which the governor of Puerto Rico and other members of his administrative team held conversations of insensitive, misogynous, homophobic and criminal nature. The nature of these message, which officials found humorous and worthy of applause, were abhorrent, embarrassing and downright heartbreaking.
These officials went through painstaking details to reveal how throughout the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and during the months where Puerto Rico was dealing with an ever-rising death toll, humanitarian aid that was sent to Puerto Rico; aid such as necessary potable water, food and sanitary items; were withheld from citizens that needed it most. These provisions were left to spoil, expire or become unusable in exchange for political propaganda and public relations stunts that these officials couldĀ āsellā orĀ āpromoteā to the population andĀ āsellā orĀ āpromoteā them as benevolent and doing everything they can for the Puerto Rican population, thus earning them the 2020 re-election. Thatās right, they were using the suffering of Boricuas and their desperation for clean food and water to lock down those crucical re-election votes. The motherfuckers.
In the midst of these details, they took their time to make many politically incorrect, hateful, cruel and abhorrent messages about the poverty level of their people; finding humor in saying a man paid for more for a shirt than he makes in a month. They found the time to make fun of women protesting the treatment of Boricuas post-Hurricane Maria, finding humor in their plight alongside the amount of female deaths due to domestic violence. They found time to make fun of the LGBTQ community, because hey, why not at this point, they joked about the #MeToo movement, and general misrepresented themselves to the point they appear to be the worst people on Planet Earth. Still, thatās not the sole reason the people have reached the boiling point.
The people of Puerto Rico have come to realize through these conversations the degree of unforgivable cruelty that these officials are seemingly capable of, knows no limits and knows no bounds.
Hundreds upon thousands of people have died. They have died horrible deaths from starvation, lack of water, and lack of sanitary conditions that no one considered a US citizen should ever experience. Yes, Puerto Ricans are considered US Citizens. Yet, these elected officials cared more about hiding the facts, placing a PR spin on it, and manufacturing information in order toĀ securing their place in the next election than doing their civic duty.
Soon after the conversations leaked, Boricuas and independent Puerto Rican media (because as revealed by the leak, state media is mostly, if not entirely, taking money from the officials, which is another story), many members of the administration resigned and the governor began a series of manipulative damage control tactics that he and his father, a previous Governor himself have employed in the past to great success.
Ricardo Rosselló, Governor of Puerto Rico exploited peopleās most basic and deeply-rooted traditions and beliefs and manipulated Latin belief in religion and Christianity to his benefit.Using history as a crutch, he keyed on the fact that Latino culture is susceptible to religious stunts and manipulation and he relied heavily on Puerto Rican history; pulling from their history as an island nation that was colonized by the Spanish in the name of Catholicism to the dismay of the Taino people and then not as egregiously converted to Protestantism when the US made it a commonwealth. Religion has been the one constant that has brought both pain and healing to the souls of those whoāve been deprived of liberty and education in many ways in Puerto Rico, and ever the scumbag,Ā Rosselló honed in on it.
Reportedly, Rosselló ran to a church the day after this all blew up, to seek āforgiveness from the Almightyā and have the churchgoers pray for him, using that Christianity as a crutch and banking on the most deeply-rooted of Latin beliefs and ideals. Want me to make it more fucked up?Ā Itās on good authority that the governor and his family have always professed the Catholic faith. Inside of the official home of the Governor,Ā the equivalent of the White House for Puerto Ricoās governor, āLa Fortalezaā, there is a chapel where he couldāve gone to āget right with Godā and have his ācome to Jesusā moment.
Ā Instead, thisĀ āmamabichoā went to a Protestant church that streams their service online so everyone would see him āhumiliating himself before Godā in a last ditch effort to detract the angry mob that now wanted him to resign. Once again, he tried to manipulate his population with another PR stunt.Ā
Puerto Ricans thankfully, saw right through it.
Ā Rosselló would address Puerto Rico and itās people as a whole on television saying he reaffirmed his commitment to see his job through and that he would not resign, but would instead āget rid of those that have wronged usā as if he had NO part in the damn thing, as if he didnāt say that stories about the Hurricane needed to be killed, that ācrows needed to be fed corpses to keep them appeasedā, as if he didnāt say that Ada Monzón (a respected meteorologist who went the extra mile and then some to keep us informed during and after Maria) should suck his dick. As if he didnāt sit there and say, along with his cronies, that they needed to make this whole Hurricane Maria situation work for them instead of against them. As if they didnāt laugh at the men, women, children, and elderly who suffered, got ill and perished under his watch. As if he didnāt let necessary and essential provisions go to waste for a fucking electoral vote. The motherfucker.
So thatās why they riot in Viejo San Juan right now. Because people had enough. People suffered enough. Enough people died. Enough manipulation happened. Because this hijueputa pushed it too damn far and worse? Found it funny. Thatās why they march. To get their damn home back from the people in charge.
They took so much from these people, that they took the one thing they didnāt count on.
Their fear.
Or just someone to talk who wonāt leave after a week of talking.
Anyone?
So knowing that it's spooky season, I thought this would be a good idea.
You see, when I was in 8th grade, my favorite teacher was my English teacher. She was so cool, sassy, and funny. She was an amazing teacher.
But she had a very cool and creepy ability. She always told us that she was able to see ghosts.
When we were good, finished our work and there was time to spare, she would tell us stories of her experiences. But not after making the classroom as dark as possible, closing the doors and windows and turning off the lights.
One thing she told us was that there was a ghost that always fallowed her around. She told us that he was an Indian American and he wasn't malevolent. Always quiet and watching in a protective matter. Sometimes she would tell us were he was, if he was inside the room or outside but never told us were exactly.
If they were fake stories and she was making them up or they were real, I didn't care, I believed them.
I want to share them with you guys. I recently found the notebook I had written them as she told them.
So starting tomorrow (for me at least, timezones) I will post them. I hope you guys like them.
