I am from warm and cozy evenings to chilly and sleepy nights.
I’m from wondering what snow feels like.
From never ending celebrations and family reunions.
I’m from small, but deeply meaningful, flower filled gardens.
I’m from sour candy and Barbies.
From Lazy town and Barney.
I’m from singing in English and having no clue of what I’m saying.
From “Yo porque te quiero tanto?” to “Mi muñequita”.
I’m from Shakira’s home country, where there’s dancing and laughter everyday.
I’m from listening to church bells and singing birds.
From where family is all that matters.
Safely kept on my shelve, is a box where all my childhood memories live.
Where I can hear my grandma’s laughter once again and I can see my parents dancing.
Those memories are still in my heart because they made me become the person I am today; therefore they shall never be forgotten.
