For International Women’s day (8th of March), I’m tasked to write about the women that have significantly changed my life. It’s going to sound typical because most people give the same answer but my favourite women in this world are my mum, grandma and my bestest friends Elena and Celia. I am well...

And then there’s Celia (though I call her Blue), my other best friend who is also my girlfriend. Romantic novels and drama shows are written about stories like ours.  I met her at a birthday party, one cold winter (she knew Elena already) of 2018 and I was instantly and dangerously attracted...

The first thing I have to say about my grandma is that I miss her. We’re only a 20 minute drive away from each other but she’s got her hands full with my little cousins and I’m constantly preparing for some exam.  When I do get the chance to be with her and hug her, I want to stretch time...

I’ll wrap up this emotional roller coaster with my mum, the woman I’d be nothing without (and not only for the biological reasons).

The time was one hundred seconds to midnight… And I still couldn’t sleep. Something around me, about me or something inside me, felt wrong. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was but I started feeling sick. A nausea so deep it made my guts churn. In my ears, the ringing was deafening. Pain was the...

Un día (varios años atrás), yo bajaba las escaleras al patio donde solemos ponernos a desayunar y de casualidad, cruzamos miradas y nos sonreímos (tienes una sonrisa preciosa, por cierto): sin tener idea de quiénes éramos, de nuestros nombres o aficiones. Nuestros grupos de amigos se entremezclaban...
