I open my eyes, the tears mingling with the saltwater breeze.
I carry the love of my stepfather, the strength of my mother, and the indomitable spirit that was forged amidst the anguish of circumstance.
The word circumstance is something that’s been present in my mind for the last few months.
But what does it really mean?
Can it be paved into something completely different?
I have my answer in the palm of my hand.
Because it can be, we are all in our circumstances, but the actions we take in order to pave our lives into a different direction is completely up to us.
No circumstance is too difficult to get out of. It’s only there for you to change or leave it as it is.
I’ve left it, letting it float in the ocean for too long without me changing its direction.
As the sun sinks lower on the horizon, casting long shadows across the beach, time seems to stand still. The vibrant colors of the sunset merge with the tranquil waters, creating a mesmerizing blend of light and shadow.
The silence of the deserted beach is broken only by the distant cries of seagulls, their calls echoing through the emptiness. I sit here, a silent observer, basking in the ethereal glow of the sunset, feeling a sense of liberation wash over me.
Vio reminds me of sunsets. It’s her favorite color.
My mom sent me on this journey, and she gave me this letter because she wanted me to realize something.
She wanted me to understand that the gravity of our pain and mistakes are the things that should let us fight for the things we love.
I love Vio. I know that for a fact.
It’s resolute in my brain and my mom was right. She is my soulmate.
I’m watching the waves with the thought of her tracing my mind. I watch them crash in every which way, colliding against each other.
Some roll in one solid line and others against one another as they reach the middle of their journey back to the beach.
At that moment, I realize that even if they don’t go in the same direction, they all come back.
They all reach the same ending.
Violetta was my beginning and now she’s my finale.
She’s my beach and I’ll always find my way back to her.

ME: I went to see my biological father the other day.
ME: Today’s the day I make you proud.
Marrisa steps into the elegant restaurant, the soft glow of candlelight casting a warm, romantic atmosphere around me. The air is filled with a delicate aroma of gourmet cuisine, tantalizing my senses.
It’s the perfect setting for a special occasion, a place where love and happiness are meant to flourish. And yet, here I am for something very different than romance.
The last time I tried to break up with her, we were alone. It fucked with my brain, so I decided to take her somewhere public. I would back out too easily if she were in my arms like last time. Ever since I got back from Brazil, I’ve done my best to keep my distance, more than before. I talk to her like a friend rather than a girlfriend. No endearments come out of my mouth toward her, the word baby now reserved for Vio.
A pang of guilt surges through me as I meet her eyes and see the affection and trust she still holds for me.
