In 1998, I began a journey that has taken me to visit places and to experience the best and the worst of who I am. In 2008, I got tired and fed up with the constant lying and obfuscation and finally decided to stop pretending to be something I was not and, finally, say to myself "You are OK." Now, as much as I would want it, I am inside a nightmare of my own devices. Capitalism can give us wonderful opportunities, but if we are not careful, it can also consume our hearts and very soul. The most obvious and most difficult consequence to overcome because of capitalism is hoarding. For 3 years, I have tried to make way, but I find myself discouraged every day, and doing this alone is very, very hard and sucks all of my willpower, just to survive. I am tired of surviving.

I am a latin american citizen, living in a small island in the caribbean. Boricua in heart, American in mind, gay, obese, and most probably a little bit crazy.
