Talavera is one of the many artifacts the Mexican culture has to offer. Not a lot of people in Laredo know what Talavera is by name but when they see it, they know what it is.

I learned what Talavera was around the age of 8. My mother was looking all over Mexico for the perfect vajilla de Talavera for our home. We never found the perfect vajilla, but i was able to make memories and visit new places that I would never forget.

Phillip Toledano’s “Days with my Father” really inspired me. It reminded me that our lives are short, so we should get to know our loved ones. My mother and I never had a good relationship until now. We never got along and we have always had different personalities. But I have never known her very well.

The Bunny community is small and it is filled with bunny parents who are helpful and kind. They advocate for bunnies, especially those who are given as an Easter gift to small children. Bunnies are fragile but so much fun to have as pets.

Koala Bunny was my best friend. He was the one I came home to and the one I spent most of my time with. He was the best bunny a girl could have. He was very special not only to me, but to my family as well. 

Nightmares are a usual part of my nighttime sleep routine. Death, ghosts, killers, you name it, I have dreamt it. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t question it anymore. I’m not afraid anymore.
