Disney

I'm sure your mom has already told you this a million times. You were born grounded. For your first month, you were not allowed to watch or hear or wear or anything ANY DISNEY. Which for me is devastating. And I seriously just cannot wait for you to experience this magical world. YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND. I feel bad because I'm celebrating your 1 week by watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame (my favorite Disney movie). Twice. Whoops.

Work Suggestion

Don't work with your mom. I work with my mom now. She's been working here for 25 years and counting. So everyone, employees and customers, all know and adore her. In case anything changes by the time you read this, here is a grocery store. A pretty small one considering Giant is down the block. But it's very Latin and homey. As a result, all the employees know me and all the customers are getting to know me. It's super nice there. But seriously? My mom is down my back all the time. She babies me and acts as if I can't do things on my own. Mind you, she works as a purchasing agent downstairs in our office. I'm in the actual store as a cashier. But she still comes up and checks on me and tells me things I already know. It's demeaning, I'll be honest. I don't recommend working with Mommy. Mind you, your Mommy is cool, so I doubt she'd ever get to that point. But you know, Mommies are protective. Sometimes they can't separate home and work. Now, this does not mean don't work with anyone you know Let's be honest, this is my first job and I would not have it were it not for my mother. Everyone gets their first job based on connections, there is no shame in that. You just have to make sure it's someone you will actually be able to work with.

Hey Babygirl

I'm an aunt. Tia Sammy. My niece, Cristina Dinora, is now 5 days old. And I can't imagine what she'll be like in the future. But I know her future will be bright.

So I'm only 18. I'm practically a baby. I don't know much. The little I know changes daily. I'm still figuring myself out. Somedays, I don't go through much. Others, I feel like it's all so much. But that's life, Babygirl. Welcome. Don't worry, it's a ways off for you. You'll probably find out about it a little in middle school. For now, sleep, eat, and cry. I know you'll learn these lessons on your own. The words I write may never mean a thing. But I grew up hearing how hard and fantastical everything would be. You know what? It can ALL be so so simple. So here's what I'm learning. Day by day, these are the lessons I'm learning. And maybe someday I'll show you. Maybe not. But this is just a way to show you I'm always there, even since now. I realized after coming up with this idea, that it's already been done. In fact, Disney Channel currently has a popular TV series about a teenage girl making video diaries for her baby sister (Good Luck Charlie). Maybe it's a little unoriginal, or even pointless. But it's just one way I show my love. These won't just be lessons honestly. This is for anything I want to share with you. A funny picture. A stupid story. Something going on in the world. Or even in your home. I want to share it all. This is your life! It should all matter. Every little bit. In the end, it'll be a part of who you are. I already know, who you are is wonderful <3

First things first: No one uses Blogger. Which may be better if you don't care about followers. But whatever medium you choose, writing is great. It's therapeutic, and will help you express yourself in ways you can't even imagine yet hehe.
