I’m struggling to put into words how much I love this for you!!! I grew up keeping things to myself because mal de ojo is real and sometimes there’s no huevo o pirul that can cure you. Also because no one would get it. They just don’t get it.

You brought back memories of my past 5 years and all the times I’ve made decisions that look insane to some and all the times I’ve left (a situation, a place, a country, you name it) and people just don’t get it. And they don’t have to. As long as it makes sense to you, and you keep living the life you want, qué importa?

The peace you get from living a life worth to you is truly priceless. 頑張ってください、姉さん!

Thank you so much, Ana!! <33 I want to hear more about the big decisions that drove you too. Whether that’s from your next piece or whenever we get to catch up again :)

YES, even beyond mal de ojo or al-ayn, sometimes you need to keep things to yourself because only you can see the road ahead, and even people with good intentions can plant doubt without meaning to (sometimes they are the worst offenders). Here’s to living lives that make sense to us.
