iris, mi amor. thank you for this raw, beautiful response. you've got me tearing up now too. 😭💖your words hit home hard. that feeling of being an outsider, of shutting down parts of yourself to fit in - i see you. i feel you. you're not alone in this, not for a second.
the way you describe spanish as a hidden message, like an underground railroad on the surface - that's poetry, iris. that's exactly what it feels like. a secret code, a lifeline to our true selves. don't ever feel small for wanting to hold onto your roots. that desire to explore your culture, to keep that part of you alive - it's not just valid, it's vital. you're not incomplete, you're beautifully complex. your heart aches for parts of yourself you don't fully know? mine does too. but maybe that ache is what keeps us searching, keeps us whole. you're right - you're not alone. we're in this together, carajo. your voice, your story - it matters. it's part of the fabric of who we are. thank you for being vulnerable, for sharing this. te quiero un mundo, mi niño!!!! 💖✨
