Lessons from a Gambling Family

Addiction runs in my family, and the most fun one is gambling. This is a non-fiction piece, a light-hearted way to explore how gambling has affected my life and still taught me decent lessons. ¡Se corre y se va!

Pink Reduction

I wrote this to desperately try and win a campaign to work with Moleskine, a journal brand I used to use exclusively. Not some of my best work, but it gets better towards the end. I hated pink as a child because of internalized misogyny, and now I appreciate and like pink in appreciation of femininity.

Things I’ve learned, laughed about, and/or obsessed over

  • THEY’RE COMING FOR US
robot with wheels
  • (They = the robots that transport food) 
  • i CANNOT stop laughing at this, please send help
had the worst toast-buttering experience today; artist rendition; using arm to hold plate, no glasses, cold butter, cat likes butter

Personal Chisme

chisme = gossip

  • I got a job!!!
  • I also remembered I’m an extrovert, but I guess no one else forgot…

I hope you enjoyed this late edition! I’m exhausted! You can continue the entertainment at Colochos de Flores.

Abrazos and/or high fives,

Ariana
