Last month, I lost my mom to a horrible and fu**ed up illness called cancer and it's been a horrible yet amazing year with its ups and downs where I started a new life and ended another one. I lost the drive for weeks to keep going with my shop. I tried to make an attempt to come back and things kept piling up not allowing me to keep going. With the support of my immediate family, I was able to keep my spirits up and not quit. Posting anything online was such a struggle for me because I didn't want pity from people or even help because I've been able to survive since I was practically a kid and I have a thick skin, those who know me in person know this.
On top of this, I've had to face many struggles with the rest of my community being an immigrant living in Los Angeles and we have seen so many people suffering because of the fires, deportations, living conditions and many others but this is just another reason to keep going and never fear those who want to harm us.
It took me almost a month to post this and it's still painful to write this as it has become a never ending thought in my head day after day.
If you know me in person or online and you're probably facing so many adversities, just know that you're not alone and if you are, this is a moment in life where you have to take a second and realize that we are all just a small part of this universe but when we get closer with each other, we can become such a powerful thing. Thank you to those who have been sending me messages of support and good vibes.
