I am from Earbuds, from Skull candy and comfort of a small foam bud.
I am from the home of powerful voices, restrictions, and order.
I am from Sunday morning cleaning and warm cooked meals, from el Mugroso and Miriamsita and el llorona.
I am from the teasing and hand massages. From El flojo hace doble trabajo y la vida no es fácil .
I am from El Virgen Maria. Mother of God and a saint.
I'm from La Santisima Trinidad, Puebla, Mexico), Eggs and Beans.
From the excited small helper, the hands with car oil, and the cooking of my mother. From the disagreements and the expectations.
I am from a stomach filled with butterflies seeing snow fly across my face. Teeth trembling, laughter, and red cheeks. Nostalgia is warming my heart. The same feeling of comfort of a lightweight speaker flowing music eagerly to my ear.
