Reminder to Self

Look around. The line you are in is for those who can afford food outside la libreta. The man using his has dark leathered skin and is thin from malnourishment. You do not have to rent out your home to afford produce and an un-tattered roof.
You are healthy, you are strong, you are beautiful. The black belt in your class is godly gorgeous and gives you all his instruction. Your Spanish is improving. Your hair is growing long. Your waist is fitter than before. The Cuban family you’ve inherited loves you and without hesitation calls you nieta and hermana. Your family at home is proud of you and can’t wait to hear of your new adventures.
Be kind to others, love yourself, and Be happy.
