Your Passion

If there is one thing we can all agree on, it's that college is a handful.  Papers, exams, and presentations can be a pain in the neck.  All of that school work can become overwhelming and annoying!

It is important to find a hobby and stick to it.  Some people love the gym.  Others are into music, drawing, video games, or writing.  No matter what you like to do, a hobby can help keep your mind fresh.


I am a writer.  For many years I just focused on poetry.  It took about three years of writing poetry to figure out that I was really into writing short stories and that is where my passion is now.  Writing has become my escape from the world.  A pen is more than just a writing object.  In my eyes, a pen is a tool that helps create vivid pictures using just words.


I don't complain when it comes to writing a paper.  I know many of you hate writing papers, but to me it is just another opportunity to master my craft.

I have a blog titled uceta21 where I post short stories, and some poetry.  Here are a few of my pieces.

Heart Stained Shoes

At times I wonder how much longer am I supposed to wait for you. Is this a curse? A nightmare come true? ItҀs become such a tedious cycle. I meet a girl, the sparks fly for a short period of time and in the blink of an eye I find my eyes wandering. It almost feels as if I am pleading for another female to catch my attention. This cycle is starting to tarnish my name. Yesterday I glanced at my feet and I was shocked to see many red stains. Curiosity forced me to look back and at that exact moment I realized that I had been leaving a trail of broken hearts behind me. Heart after heart they all formed a line of failed love. Many of the females remain dear to me, but an equal amount regret the day we crossed paths. I cannot change who I am, all I can hope for is that every kiss that I have left behind will return in a pair of lips that I will kiss for the remainder of my life. It takes all the courage in the world to admit your mistakes, so here I stand, apologizing and admitting my faults, so to you I sayŀ.. IҀm sorry.


A Better Me 

It has only been two weeks and I've found myself buried within the pits of this broken heart. The cracks and bruises are becoming more visible as the days roll by. It feels as if I am trapped within a labyrinth. If I turn left a picture frame looks me directly in the eyes, almost taunting me. I walk forward and a Ӏforever lasting loveԀ engraved pendant pierces my mind. As soon as I turn right a social media update is seeping through a screen consuming me exactly where I stand.

The chaos that is occurring within me is slowly becoming visible. The people around me can tell I am not myself. I fought long and hard for a spot next to you. Instead of cherishing ӀusԀ you indulged in ӀyouԀ. I cannot change you nor do I want to, but in order to better myself I have to accept the truth. We were something that honestly felt everlasting, silly on my behalf to think that something so surreal would last me. I cannot blame myself, and I shall not let you tarnish what I could be. You see the best part of our severance was realizing the importance, in me.

Writing is my escape from the craziness of school and life in general.  Don't let anyone tell you that what you love to do isn't important.  We all want to get good grades and graduate, but sometimes eating textbooks isn't a great thing.  Take time out for you and I promise you wont regret it.
