Well, who am I? One will say I'm down to earth and such an outgoing person others will say I'm shy and quite nervous looking. Long-story-short not everyone gets the same person; that's what I love about myself, I'm a mystery to some. I am the person who is willing to listen to you talk for hours. Help you through the hard times in life while mine is falling apart. Motivate you to become successful with me instead of without me. As a young individual with many new chapters, I am all about new experiences and bettering myself. Traveling, Working, Drives with no destination, a love for sunsets, quality time with family and friends is things I enjoy doing even though my family gets on my nerves sometimes ( @ my sister), my love, loyalty, and trust will never change for them. I'm Desiree, and I am telling you a snippet of my 16 chapters for your entertainment purposes <3

World of possibilities

2946804 — 2021-02-03 04:02:36 UTC

As you can tell, I enjoy new experiences. New experiences come with hobbies and finding yourself. Mediation and learning new things is something I'm doing. I can't stick to one hobby like as of right now, I'm learning guitar, sewing, painting/drawing, jewelry making, journaling, and I'm getting into plants as well. I'm always on the move, there's no doubt about it. With me? there are many possibilities or " a world of possibilities¨, the real question is what makes me? ME? well, you see all of the above. I'm a very confusing person if I say so myself. Finding new things and looking at life from a different perspective is something that I do. With others, they'd choose to go out and eat at a fancy restaurant but with me? I'd rather be at the beach or a field of flowers watching the sunset go down while we have a heart to heart conversation while painting and eating foods we enjoy. I'm not materialistic at all. I'm here for a good time and lots of memories.

Heart Aches

I tend to catch myself crying or in an emotional state way too often. Gun violence hits home for me. Seeing your friends on the news for a good thing? nope but, because they were in an incident? yes. It kills me that half of the murders are still walking free while mines are 6ft deep. Every night I have to check on every one of my friends and family to make sure they get home safe and soundly. It is how life works some times I wonder why I wanted to grow up so fast when I was way younger because life is not what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I cry and have mental break downs every day because of schoolwork or because my eyebrows don't look even when I do my makeup, yes I know its silly but, it does take a toll on you when you're trying to look good to sit in your room and take pictures duh. I sound very dramatic saying that but, it's the truth.

Disrespect

2946804 — 2021-02-06 08:26:57 UTC

Disrespecting others or putting them down in front of people to make yourself look good makes my blood boil. I CAN NOT stand individuals that bring down others for their pure enjoyment. It never sits right with me at all. We are all humans, we all go through many silent battles alone. WE ALL should have respect and be kind to one another because you never know what someone is going through. When picking on another individual does not make their days go any smoother. Some kids come to school to escape from their toxic households; some kids make it difficult and make them feel like school is not safe anymore. It makes me feel so angry that I have to walk away every time I witness or overhear rude comments.

Peaceful

I love traveling. Most importantly, I love going to beaches and finding new towns that I've never discovered. I tend to over Fantasize about driving alone, going to places I've never seen before, go to unique shops that my hometown does not have, and create more memories. When I go to beaches, I feel a burst of energy, The feeling of the sun going into my skin I feel relaxed like it is my home. Also, I love to put on a cute flowy dress and dress up to be so carefree and stop stressing. Nothing's better than having the windows rolled down while traveling on your way to the beach while hearing the seagulls squawk, The wind blowing in your face, The Sun on your skin, Smells of Ocean air while the waves are bouncing off each other. Sometimes if you're lucky, you could hear whales. I love when I also can overhear waterfalls right when I'm arriving at the beaches. The beach is my happy place.

Self Love

2946804 — 2021-02-11 05:50:41 UTC

Self-love is very hard. There are some days where I feel like I have none at all; It can be very challenging and draining to someone who doesn't get self-love often. I am proud to say that I found self-love and still am finding self-love in myself. I stopped depending on people for my happiness and found things that made me enjoy life or enjoy myself overall. You know someone can notice when you don't have self-love. They tend to pick on others and point out other's insecurities because they know they have those as well. I am not that type of person; I will never be that type of person; I tend to hide my insecurities. I have been changing for the better and am so proud of myself for that. Improving yourself is something I appreciate myself for doing over this quarantine. I used to be very self-hating on myself. I'm very self-loving and, I'm very confident in myself; I stopped thinking about what others feel about me and started doing things that made me happy. I did not only improve my self-love, but I improved my mental and physical health as well. I started seeing that my weight was dropping drastically, which was very depressing to watch, I eat a lot too. I am so for real I was like Winnie the Pooh when he was hungry for honey; I couldn't stop eating at all, my weight was dropping so fast I was starting to look like Winnie the Pooh in a crop top. I started working out and, I'm positively gaining more weight. My acne is going away slowly but surely and, my mental health is getting way better.

Roots

2946804 — 2021-02-11 06:20:43 UTC

I'm truly blessed to be raised in two different cultures and be of two races. My mom is Mexican which I eat lots of Mexican foods. I get to see the culture, learn new things. My family is very outgoing and loud at times. I also have a Filipino dad. The foods from Mexico and the Philippines have different tastes; I learned that when growing up. Sometimes I regret not learning both of the languages because I can be trilingual as of right now. Don't get me wrong. I do understand both Languages but cannot speak them fluently. Long-story-short being biracial is a great gift.

Inspiration

2946804 — 2021-02-11 06:33:21 UTC

My parents are a great aspect of my life. They inspire me in many ways and encourage me to be a better person. They tell me every day not to give up so I can have a better and brighter future for myself. They also say to work hard so I can have a better future than how they had it. Both of them have told me their past and, what they've gone through. Both of my parents lost their parents. My dad lost his dad at a very young age, He never had a father figure because his dad did pass away. They inspire me to work very hard and be extremely successful because I want to give them everything they need. One of my biggest goals in life is to save and have enough money to pay every bill they have so both my parents can retire and travel the world like they want to. They show me that the little things in life make you the happiest you could ever be. I know that I have to be ready for the rough days. They inspire me; to not let anyone or anything walk over me and discourage me and my dream

To my future self.

Toxic relationships are not fun like this generation makes it seem.
