Secrets
Jesus is Real
Any person who says, “I don’t have to do what my parents say, I’m eighteen,” has probably never had their mother utilize her sandal as a tool of public humiliation in the middle of a low-priced grocery store. I grew up in a mixed-race household that fulfilled the stereotype for both Mexicans and Irish individuals. It began as Catholic and became non-denominational Christian, which meant that while we attended normal church and experienced communion, we did not have ‘Mass’. Because of the nature of my family, hearing sentences like “my mom will totally beat my ass,” always held different connotations than what most people would think. The saying doesn’t mean “I am a victim of abuse” as much as it means “my parents weren’t afraid to spank me as a child.” With all of this said, there was a moment in my life in which I was sure my mother was going to beat my ass in front of all my friends—the time I dropped the communion juice in Church. Through this disaster of an event, I came to realize that Jesus was real, and he saved me from an ass whooping.

The King of Nightmares
You were just a child, a person like me. Stupid and clueless with a world for you to be free. I was in hiding while you were experiencing, bad and good you explored a world that became your FREE; DOMinating others with your strength and ignorance, your confidence has built while you grew distant from me. Separate from life, you played house, I became caretaker while the word “husband” was in your mouth. Never been loved while you experienced it pure, still, we were apart, while you experienced love more. Spent most of my 20s away from wedding bells, while I struggled for money and saved a mother from hell.

Mick Jagger: My Father
This all began with very intense research. When I was fourteen, I earned enough money to go out and buy a copy of “Exile on Main Street” by the Rolling Stones. I knew what I was looking for and why that particular album had to be in my collection. According to Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the top 100 albums of the last twenty years, this was the best album ever released by the band. It was described as sludgy, grimy and a true representation of their love of blues and country music.

The friend who destroyed the family
"We have this Tiffany again," Max thought as soon as he crossed the threshold of the house. He came home from work tired, hungry and didn't want to communicate at all. Tiffany is special. Max just couldn't stomach it organically. And not because she's his wife's friend. And it's not even a matter of banal jealousy. It's just that after Tracy and Tiffany talked, there were always scandals in their family. Tiffany, in his absence, "teaches" his wife how to "properly treat a man." Or, more precisely, to drive him under your heel. And after Tiffany left, it started: "You have to", "You have to", "Are you a man or what?".

I Messed Up Big and Now I’m Getting a Divorce
You know, you can be truly good to someone, treat them with kindness, respect, and love, and ruin it all by having one off-night. You’re only as good as your loyalty. Trust me, I know this now. It truly sucks and I’d give anything to go back and change it.
