Bio

Ale Sieben is Ale Meza-Santiago's pen name. She is Mexican and lives in Mexico but prefers writing in English for a variety of reasons, the main one being that a larger audience is achieved through the language, and the few people that help her with her ideas and editing don’t speak Spanish.

She’s currently studying a bachelor’s degree in Language Translation and is fluent in both Spanish and English but hopes to learn German, Japanese, and Russian in the future.

Other than writing, she likes reading fiction, usually fantasy-oriented, but is not averse to other genres, like romance, action/a

Dusting the Attic

Hello, World. It’s been a while, isn’t it? No apologies, though. Life’s been… a roller coaster, as it is wont to be.


I don’t know how often I’ll be updating this, but I plan to get back on with writing and blogging alike. First and foremost because I miss it, and secondly because the current state of the world is so maddening and confusing to me that I need an outlet to vent and not drive myself cr

Quotes by Ale Meza-Santiago  (?)

“Not knowing is another form of torture.”
Ale Meza-Santiago

“Just because your head knows something it does not mean that your heart agrees.”
Ale Meza-Santiago, Oaths and Promises

“My destiny is you, and to you I walk.”
Ale Meza-Santiago

“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.”
Erich Fromm

“All we have to believe with is our senses, the tools we use to perceive the world: our sight, our touch, our memory. If they lie to us, then nothing can be trusted. And even if we do not believe, then still we cannot travel in any other way than the road our senses show us; and we must walk that road to the end.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“I know love is dark work; you have to get your hands dirty. If you hold back, nothing interesting happens. At the same time, you have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you; too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation?”
Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“Why must you hurt me, when I love you so? When I can do nothing else nor want to, for love made me and fed me and kept me in better days? Why will you cut me, and disfigure my face, and fill me with woe? I have only loved you for your beauty as you once loved me for mine in the days before the world moved on. Now you scar me with nails and put burning drops of quicksilver in my nose; you have set the animals on me, so you have, and they have eaten of my softest parts. Around me the can-toi gather and there’s no peace from their laughter.

Yet still I love you and would serve you and even bring the magic again, if you would allow me, for that is how my heart was cast when I rose from the Prim. And once I was strong as well as beautiful, but now my strength is almost gone. If torture were to stop now, I might still recover – if never my looks, then at least my strength and my kes.

But other week… or maybe five days… or even three… and it will be too late. Even if the torture stops, I’ll die. And you’ll die too, for when love leaves the world, hearts are still. Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask.”
Stephen King, The Dark Tower

“Time flies, knells call, life passes, so hear my prayer.
Birth is nothing but death begun, so hear my prayer.
Death is speechless, so hear my speech.
This is Jake, who served his ka and his tet. Say true.
May the forgiving glance of S’mana heal his heart. Say please.
May the arms of Gan raise him from the darkness of this earth. Say please.
Surround him, Gan , with light.
Fill him, Chloe, with strength.
If he is thirsty, give him water in the clearing.
If he is hungry, give him food in the clearing.
May his life on this earth and the pain of his passing become as a dream to his waking soul, and let his eyes fall upon every lovely sight; let him find the friends that were lost to him, and let every one whose name he calls call his in return.
This is Jake, who lived well, loved his own, and died as ka would have it.
Each man owes a death. This is Jake. Give him peace.”
Stephen King, The Dark Tower
