“Ethan, if you didn’t call me earlier, the kitchen would have blown up.”

“Ok.” 

“You did a good job.”

“Ok?”

So after I called my dad, I had grabbed some of our stuff and ran out. My brother was just chilling on the couch. My dad grabbed the burnt popcorn and opened it. I said it was a gift for him . So he grabbed some and ate it. He said it was good but his face said it all. 

        

One of the memories is that while we were on the boat it suddenly stopped going and my dad and his friend didn't know what happened so we went to check it out and something got stuck in the engine but nobody was small enough so I had to jump out into the deep water and rip out what was stuck and it was a big plastic bag.   

The day that the plastic bag got stuck on our boat, the reason that moment stayed with me for so long is because I was younger, I was like 5 or 6 so when I went down there I was pooping myself because I thought a shark or something like that was gonna bite or eat me and I was so scared I cried and I almost didn't do it but my dad forced me because  I was the smallest. I was really mad at him after. 

Living in the DR, not being close to family is a challenge. Sometimes you can feel sad, frustrated, confused and that's OK- 

No one is perfect. I miss my family and I wish I could just teleport home. Because I feel FREE, like anything is possible. Like if you could run all the way to the moon without getting out of breath, without getting tired. Because everything is possible.

 Those were SUPER MEMORIES!  and I will always love her ❤️

My dog, he always stayed down and never wanted to come up. He felt very scared to go up because if my parents found him, then I don’t know what would happen. But now in quarantine he is in love with going up the stairs, he even peed down on the living room. At first my mom didn't want to happen again. She gave the dog a warning and then he started doing it over and over again until ONE day he PEED UPSTAIRS on MY MOM”S BATHROOM. My mom didn’t even want him again inside the house, only in my backyard.

The next thing that happened was that My dog started to want to sleep with me or maybe backwards I wanted to sleep with him everything was good until week 4 of sleeping with me if I wasn’t in the house he would be there in my bed sleeping and my mom would get mad at me because she smelled  the bed because it smelled like dog. And let’s just say that a bed smelling like a dog wouldn’t smell too good. 

My room, I was the only one in my family who didn’t get to choose his room because I was the last one to go up the “stairs” but I was like six and there were no STAIRS. It was so scary my brother and sister had to help me get up. When I was up they immediately chose her room and I didn’t even know we were choosing rooms. But nowadays my brother who I think has the best room is saying my room is bigger than his which it is but I like smaller rooms because it feels comfortable to me. I even once told him if he wanted to change rooms and guess what he said NO. He has a better room too because the internet connection goes super fast in his room and he has plugging things in each part of his room. I was so jealous! My mother and father obviously had the best room, bed, closet, bathroom I didn’t complain about it because they deserve having that room. They bought their house they choose the room they want.

In the end we all got to live in this precious house which I don’t ever wanna move out in my whole entire “child-teenager” life that is still going on. I know it seems like I don’t really love my room but I love everything about my house. I'll tell you some weird but perfect thing about my house. We are going to MAYBE make my sister’s room a cinema because she moved out with her husband (oh yeah sorry for not telling you, my sister is married and moved out 6 months ago). She moved out by mistake but now she does not regret it.

Ok let’s talk about the weird but perfect things in my house. I can still see the glue under the stairs but it is perfect because I feel “bad” for them. I know it sounds so weird but uh I don’t really know.
