Creative Writing
In my psychological courses at the University of Denver, we have studied a concept called "FLOW". Flow is the mental state in which a person is engaged in an activity where they are fully immersed with a feeling of energized focus, involvement, and success in the process of the activity. For me, this mental state is derived from my ability to creatively write. This page is dedicated to sharing pieces I have produced in my mental state of FLOW.
Up Like An Insomniac
This piece is a collection of various short pieces created in my blog. I decided to construct a creative piece using my previous pieces posted on my blog to reflect on the different thoughts I have when I can't sleep at night. The title of this piece was inspired by a song published by XXXTentacion.
When Are You Leaving
When Are You Leaving was written at the onset of my first romantic relationships. It's a short lyrical poem that depicts a situation in which extreme insecurities are felt.
The Story of Miguel
I wrote this piece around the time of the onset of Donald Trump's Presidency in 2017. One of Trump's first order was the rescindment of new DACA applications. Miguel was a close friend of mine that I met at the beginning of college. I wrote this story as a memory of him... for me.
