What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?
Chicken sautéed with peppers and onions with white rice. Pasteles with fries and a fried egg, which is a Puerto Rican dish. A nice medium cooked steak with asparagus and a baked potato with butter. My favorite three meals. It also kind of depends if we’re talking about like on morning-lunch or dinner time because it changes but those are my favorite three meals for like dinner.
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
That’s a hard one. Let me think. The coolest thing I have found and kept is the ability to be myself and not conform to what someone else thinks I should be. Even in my youth I always went against the followers. It’s like the song goes by Frank Sinatra
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Days
Weeks
Months
Years
Still you managed to make me smile today
It’s been over a year
My thoughts go back in time
To a time we would just laugh
Endless chatters
Sharing secrets
Careless whispers in the night
Song lists from the heart
Music that made us feel connected
Nights falling asleep sounds in our ears
Words that made us express our deepest desires
Though the puzzle never fit
We tried to find ways
Life decided for us
You were right coffee, no one is to blame
Life is to blame
What will your life be like in three years?
To be honest I have no clue. I can hope for certain things in life. But the truth of the matter is we plan our future but life happens. So I will keep planning for my future but will any of my goals happen I don’t know. Because I can only my control each day and none of us our promised tomorrow. The world seems really dark and I prefer to try to keep seeing the light. So what will my life be like in 3 years only God knows I just hope I will be happy and still grateful for each moment I am alive.
What does it mean to be a kid at heart?
To view the world in a way a child would. Maybe a little bit naive, maybe a little bit more of a delusional happier way of seeing the world view. That doesn’t mean not seeing the darkness or evil in the world. But also keeping hope that things will change in a more positive direction or eventually workout to a better place than before. Yesterday I was asked if I was granted 3 wishes, I think having said the 3 things I would wish for are very childlike at heart. It probably makes me more naive than others but I have seen enough darkness in my own life that I would rather try to see some beauty or see the world the way a child does which is with endless possibilities.
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?
World peace, for Jesus Christ to come already, and last but not least that everyone gets to make it to heaven. I know to some that might sound silly but there is reason to my madness. One money will not matter if we are always in wars and fighting each other. Eventually we all be poor trying to survive in a world filled with hate. I want Jesus Christ to come back because He promised He would. I don’t see a positive future much longer. I would like Him to come soon. Last but not least I would like everyone to make to heaven. I know it’s possible technically, but I also know it is written in the Word of God that one must believe in God and accept Jesus Christ. I do hope everyone takes that chance. It might sound ridiculous and extremely naive but I would rather see the ugliness in the world with sunshine and lots of rainbows. For after every storm there is always a rainbow even if you can’t see it.
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
I love speed walking while listening to jams. It’s probably my favorite because you are outside in the outdoors, listening to music and just not thinking of anything but being inside the moment. Not to mention when you are outside you just feel good especially in the fall and spring, I even love the winter season. But that’s just me maybe not for everyone else.
What food would you say is your specialty?
Specialty food that’s a hard one. I love making chicken with peppers on white rice. I also enjoy making brown rice with veggies. I am really good at making tasty scrambled eggs. Loving trying different recipes and different things. so I can really name one thing but I would definitely like to get to the skill level my mother is at. She cooks everything and it always tastes good.
What are you most proud of in your life?
The day I got baptized and gave my soul to God. It was the best thing I have ever done and the only thing that made me feel absolutely powerful. He not only helped me that day, He also has given me the strength to keep going every single day. No matter the struggle He gives me the strength.
What have you been working on?
I have been working on myself. Trying to learn from my mistakes. Trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Trying to learn how to communicate better. Trying to push myself out of own comfort zones. Learning new coping techniques to try and not keep myself back. Always trying to keep growing to become a version of myself than I was yesterday. Sounds silly I know but it’s the truth. The only way I can find my place in this life is to find myself. For so long I had no idea who I was and I think finally, I am coming to understand who I am and who I want to be. Because there is a difference, I don’t just want to be myself I want to be the best version of myself.
