I’m sure there’s so much more I could dive into here but I want to keep this to a minimum

I am a Diné woman in her early thirties, I have two daughters, I cherish my family time, and am currently enrolled at Diné College. I enjoy making videos, photography, doing blogs, drawing, and sometimes painting. I really enjoy Native American creation stories, books, and art. I enjoy sharing experiences, laughing together, and learning about the similarities I share with other five fingered beings.

I want to cry but there’s no tears falling from my eyes

I’m not good at anything nor have any talent. However, I’m trying out new things recently and have even done such things that I never did in my whole life or if I ever did, it was only a few times. I’m actually doing it for me to figure out the things that I can do well or the things that I’m good at, as well as those that I’m capable of . The same thing that I’ve been doing for almost two years now. I’ve been trying to write stories and poems either in English or Filipino, depending on where I could work on it very well. Also, I tried to make a blog which I really want to, ever since when I was younger.

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know I’ve done 30-day first drafts of my last three manuscripts. I LOVE this process, but now that I have a chronic illness, I may have to adjust this a little to make sure I’m taking care of myself.

For years, I hid these stories because I wanted to fit in, to be normal, to have regular childhood experiences – whatever those were supposed to be

As an adult, I’m happy I had the hands-off, learn-to-entertain-yourself childhood I did. We weren’t always technological Luddites. We still watched cartoons and played shitty Flash games, but we weren’t pawned off or pushed in front of a screen by the adults. They didn’t plan out every second of our day, to make sure we were kept busy or productive. If we were bored, we were responsible for figuring out what to do ourselves.
