The Year I Did What I Wanted — Instead of What I Thought I Should
Is this it, I ask myself. Is this the year I get to decide what I want to do and do it? How old do I have to be to get to choose how I spend my holidays without feeling like I’m somehow wrong for making the choice?

I lost my uncle Fred last week on December 14th. He was the last surviving sibling of my mother’s. Mom was one of 7 children and the baby of the 4 girls born before 3 boys. Mom passed 11 years ago December 11th. My grandfather passed on the same date 19 years prior. I’m sure there is some meaning to that. I don’t believe there are coincidences in the universe.

I miss my Grandpa.
I wish I could travel back in time to see my grandpa again. My siblings and all my cousins called him “Yaya”. He was full of cool stories and wisdom that help me in life. Thinking about him makes me miss him a lot, especially when things get quiet.

10 Years. Top Story - December 2023.
I can feel their eyes on me, people looking me over as I speak to them wondering why I haven't shaved or look disheveled. It's because I can barely look in the mirror anymore, whenever I do all I see is you. As I brush my hair back it looks like your hair, I grow a beard and it's your beard. Even the bags under my eyes are exactly like yours, it's inescapable.

What Happened to the Hero?. Content Warning.
Identity...this is a tough one for me. As much as I like to do self-reflection, I generally don't like what I see when I look inwards and I guess a lot of that has to do with my identity and how I define who I am. That's what makes the subject difficult for me.
