How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water

by Angie Cruz

I don’t need people saying to me that everything will be OK. Of course I’ll be OK. What other choice do I have? Who has the luxury of having someone to take care of them?

Let me give you some advice, fall for the man who loves you more than you love him.

When Ángela saw me cry, my sister said, You’re drowning in a glass of water. I tell you, Ángela is cold. But cold! Pfft! She has no feelings for me. Not Lulú. She understood that I had to cry until I undrowned from the inside.

When you need each other to survive, you forgive. That’s the way it is.

I told her I read the Constitution: We the people. Think about it. We the people. Who are these people? It’s not me. It’s not you. The day we become inconvenient, this government will find a way to throw us out.

we must not wait to live the life we want. Find a way to be present with the people you love.

Freedom is being able to live your truth without having to apologize for it.
