p.s. let me know which of the two you like better!

Long story short I’m taking it easy until I know what my next steps will be. Actually I know my next step is to learn how to drive but that’s gonna take a while lol. Anyways if you’ve read all of this thank you. I’m not sure if I’ll be posting on here much but I think I’ll be sharing some of my creations once in a while. Feel free to follow me on Instagram where I post a lot more often @/queermoonbeam. AND HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

i haven’t been very active on here because i’ve been super caught up with college things but for the most part everything is going well! i’ve been loving my writing class so, so much! my class about monsters has also been really fun because we mostly get assigned to watch two horror movies a week, how fitting since it’s now october! spooky season! autumn! this is my favorite season so i’m super happy! anyways, i hope you enjoy this beautiful picture of today’s sunset (which i took while picking up my shake shack order with a friend, it was our first time trying it, 10/10) and also a picture of tonight’s full moon!! it was so big and red earlier but my phone couldn’t capture her beauty :(

feel free to ask me any questions, my ask box is open!

I'm fundraising on behalf of my cousin Miguel Hernandez Alvarado, he's going to be a first year in college in Mexico and needs support for his education, covid-19 has caused a huge strain to be able to provide for his tuition. He is a first-gen student and we are asking for people to help achieve one of his dreams. :) He plays the drums, is my aunt's caretaker, and is in charge of media at his church. Additionally, he studied marketing! Going to college will be a place where he can further study his many interests such as theology, marketing, and music. **** Due to the pandemic he is not able to find a job to be able to pay his college tuition which is about 3,500 pesos a month for being online until January, which is about 162.00 USD.  However, once his classes stop being online he would have to pay 7500.00 pesos  which would be 347.16 USD per month.   Besides his tuition costs, we want my cousin to be able to not worry about any other expense he might need taken care of such as getting a new laptop, medical expenses, food, etc...

so because i love music and playlists i wanted to make a playlist for my memoirs and memory class, but i wanted to ask if anyone had any song suggestions for me. do you know any songs that talk about nostalgia, memories, forgetting, flashbacks, etc. or anything in the general vicinity of these topics? i have no idea how to look for songs like this/recall songs like this unless they like pop up on a playlist i already have so, ironically, i need help jogging my memory lmao.

“Then you really are going to do that? “Evoke your childhood memories”... How these words embarrass you, you don’t like them. But you have to admit that they are the only appropriate words. You want to “evoke your memories”... there’s no getting away from it, that’s what it is.”

(excuse the mess on my desk lol) but today was a GREAT day!!!! i had my writing class and y’all my professor is absolutely incredible. she’s super spiritual and open with us about literally everything. the class is called techniques of nonfiction: memoir and memory and i can’t even begin to explain just how perfectly this class fits into my life. i am such a nostalgic person, i tend to live in memories - both good and bad - and even memories that have yet to happen. TW// death - with the recent passing of my friend, which side note: when will it no longer be recent? is seven months not recent anymore? anyways those questions kind of prove the point i was going to make: i’ve been grieving and in doing so i’ve been thinking about memories often and i think this class is going to force me to question everything more, but in a way that will help me heal. because i’ve been wanting to write through my grief but i felt weird about writing about my dead friend or how their death affected me cause i felt like i was centering myself too much. but what else am i supposed to do, i can only write from my perspective right? anyways, this class is going to really force me to confront a lot of emotions but i’m honestly so ready and excited because this is exactly the type of writing i think i’ve always imagined i’d be doing.
