A New Mirror

🦨 Spiritual Odor Is Real™ Not everyone can smell it. But when you know (nose), you know (nose). 🫢😵‍💫👃🏽✨ I come from a family of olfactory intuitives . Three generations deep — that I know of. Me. My son. My grandma, Doña Fela. None of us went pro, but the gift is real. 🎁💀 “¿Y ese funk?” We didn't call it that, but that's what we were sensing. That thick, sticky funk that doesn’t show up on paper. Not in résumés, diplomas, or designer clothes. But ohhh, it walks into the room before someone says a word. It's not B.O. It's S.O. Spiritual Odor™ . My son — yes, the one currently incarcerated — can walk into a cell (his or someone else’s) and sniff out the real danger. Not the tattoos. Not the crime record. The vibe. “ Yo… what IS that funk? ” he’ll say. 😷🌀 Same thing happened to me, for years. Sometimes I’d wake up in the middle of the night, d...

🧼 When Expungement Is Misunderstood Some folks think expungement is a magic eraser. One minute: culpable , the next: reborn. Clean slate. No más problema . 🧽🪞Bye-bye record, hello “new me.” But I’ve met the Expunged. I’ve seen them slither. 🐍 And I say this with 🥣 and clarity: That paper may be clean… but the spirit? The comportamiento? 😬 Not so much. I’m not here to be la jueza 👩🏽‍⚖️. I’ve never been expunged on paper. But in my emotional, mental, and financial life? Sí . I’ve had to start over so many times it’s dizzying. I grew up in a house where people took what they wanted. Grownups robaban like it was tradition. Some called it survival. Some just stayed silent. But I call it what it was: generational grand theft 🎭. Even after I stopped stealing things, I had to expunge the urge to control, to ghost people when I was scared, to call disconnection “boundaries.” To hoard love and ...

What Is Your EQ?™ Do You Even Know What EQ Is?™ I didn’t know. Emotional? Emotional to me meant: be careful . They’re coming for you if they catch you feeling anything. Don’t express. Just be still. ¡O te va a ir mal! You know what comes. 💀 So many of us think we’ve got high EQ just because we don’t yell in public or because we know how to say “I’m fine” without blinking. 👀 Pero... that’s not emotional intelligence. That’s performance. 🎭 I used to think I was highly evolved in EQ. I wasn’t. 🎤 Hold up— I was trained to perform emotions, not feel them. Now I’m like: “Ahh… yup. That’s the ticket.” 😅 😳 What EQ Is NOT: Being “nice” all the time (that’s fawning 😬) Avoiding hard emotions (👋🏽 hola, spiritual bypassing) Acting “unbothered” as a trauma response Letting people walk all over you in the name of “healing” 🥣 EQ is not a badge. It’s a brújula — a compass 🧭 for staying connected… but to yourself first. Think of EQ as your internal WiFi s...

💔 When Love Was Performance: Why Love Does NOT Have Languages 🥣 Querida inner niña, I didn’t learn love—I learned survival with a smile on. I learned how to hug before I learned how to say no. I learned how to give before I was ever taught to receive. And let’s be real: I learned how to perform love long before I ever felt safe enough to feel it. They said love had "types." They gave us categories and colors and quizzes. But baby... that was just another test I was afraid to fail. Before I could even spell "affirmation," I was wearing it like a costume—on live TV. 👗 Not for joy. Not for art. For money. For clothes. For approval. For them. 🩸 And behind those sparkly lights? I saw things no niña should ever see. My brother’s face hit with a bat at a piñata party. Girls being groomed, sold, and smiled at. And me? Just trying to be wanted… but not touched. To be seen… but not too loudly. To be useful, pero invisible. 💬 “Words” Wer...
