Hey everyone,It’s been a while! Today’s mantra comes from one of those rare and fascinating virtual encounters I’ve had on this app. I’m sharing a snippet of this beautiful poem—hopefully, it resonates with some of you. 🌹 D E S I D E R A T A Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.For anyone who needs to hear it: keep going. Even if you hit rock bottom, the only way from there is up. I see you, and you matter.With love,Gabs ❤️
Never doubt yourself. Doubt only builds walls where doors could be. Every hardship and every criticism is a chance to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient.Take those challenges and use them to shape the person you aspire to be—the person you admire. That potential is already within you, waiting to shine. Believe in it, trust in it, and keep moving forward.You’ve got this, I trust you 😉.With love,Gabs
GOOD NEWS 🤩Just finished my thesis, everyone!! 🎉 A whopping 70 pages and 19,255 words! I can’t even explain how proud I am of myself right now. There were moments when I felt completely drained and overwhelmed, but I kept going—and now it’s DONE. I’m seriously on cloud nine!Lesson to anyone who might be reading this? Don’t give up. No matter how tough it feels, you’re stronger than you think. With enough patience and determination, you can do anything you set your mind to. I believe in you—so believe in yourself too.With much love and a bear hug,The Coolest Latina Ever 😉
Photo dump incoming! Hey, virtual friends! I'm finally finding a bit more free time, so I'll try to tackle the 300+ messages in my inbox (bear with me 😔🫠). That said, don’t expect me here every day—I'll be way more active starting December.Quick life update: college has been exhausting and very stressful, but I’m almost at the finish line! Can’t wait to graduate and officially become a lawyer. Oh, and I’m still keeping up with my French classes, so that’s a win!That’s all for now—thanks for tuning in, HAHAHA.Much love,Gabriela. ❤️
Dear virtual friends,I’m sorry for being out of touch lately! I’ve been deep into my thesis project for my law degree, and things have been a bit hectic these past few weeks. I’ll do my best to get back to all your messages soon. Thank you so much to everyone who checked in—I truly appreciate it.Much love, Gabby 💗PD: picture so y’all can see my current situation lmao. Writing 50 pages is NO joke.
Today’s mantra: Perseverance. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. Never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.Working hard for all my dreams to come true. One day at a time. If I can, you can also do it. Keep going. Love,Gabby ❤️
Fragment of a song that holds a special place in my heart. I see those tears in your eyesAnd I feel so helpless insideOh, love, there's no need to hideJust let me love you when your heart is tiredIf your ghost pulls you apartAnd it feels like you've lost who you areMy love, there's no need to hideJust let me love you when your heart is tiredAnyone deserves to have someone who could love them wholeheartedly, sincerely and compassionately. Don’t settle for less, you’re amazing. Love,Gabs ❤️
Quand quelqu'un me demande quel est le mot le plus détesté pour moi, je lui dis le mot « stop ».Jamais s’arrêter dans la vie, Faut toujours courir s’acharner,Et on est toujours toujours vainqueur quand on s’acharne,Pas de stop. Keep going, I see you. With much love,Gabby ❤️
Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough, we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always. Don’t give up, you’ll eventually get there and accomplish all your dreams. ❤️
Never be afraid to take a stand,And always be willing to lend a helping hand,A little bit goes a long way,All it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day,Your chance to live is now so what are you waiting for?The world is yours for the taking and so much more,Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal. KEEP GOING. YOU GOT THIS! ❤️- Poem by my cool friend Satyam :)
Throwback of my trip to château de Versailles. Astonishing. I’d like to return to France and explore what else the country has to offer outside of Paris. I’m determined to learn French for it to happen. Weather was cloudy but nice. Only regret? I didn’t get to try the macaroons 🥹🥹.
Here to share this place: “Villa Miriam”. It’s located in Barahona province, Dominican Republic. I visited the place and it was even better in person. Utterly stunning. Question for the viewers: what’s the prettiest place you’ve ever visited and why? I’m eager to hear from you!Love,Gabby
