same here! it's something i took from e.e cummings. all of his poetry is written this way. for some reason, no capitalization makes it a breeze for me to read and absorb something. honestly, this was me trying it out and seeing if it did things for anyone. i'm tempted to keep experimenting with formatting to see how i can make these essays easier to read and absorb for people like us! <3 thanks for the comment, hun. miss you.

Thank you so much for your comment, Ana! :) Haha, I knew only my fellow boricuas would get some of the references. I was obsessed with Puerto Rican daytime TV growing up and I'd watch a lot of Carmen Jovet, haha. I'm glad that the message has gotten to you, it's truly paralyzing for me to think about the risks and the pain and the awfulness that sometimes comes with being open - but the opposite is almost more corrosive, more problematic, more awful. And I feel you on the brashness - I am sure there will be many times as I keep putting my thoughts and opinions out where people will likely feel that way! So I'm sure it will be a matter of time, I always run into that. I wonder how much of that plays into the "model minority" myth too. Remember - some people really think that calladitos nos vemos mas bonitos. <3
