“Now, you’re in the river, so keep swimming.”

I feel things are out of my control right now. It’s a bit uncomfortable. My parents have this saying, “Now, you’re in the river, so keep swimming.” This means, that in spite of all the obstacles I have to keep moving forward–Even if it’s “turtle-ing” it. I can only hope people are understanding. But even that’s out my control. I can only pray. What’s my control right now? Only my truth.

Hi, I'm Ana. I was born in East Los Angeles, California. My parents are immigrant refugees from Guatemala. I have a total of 4 siblings, of whom I am the oldest, three girls, one boy. They're all business mindset--they claim at least. But we all have a creative side and love the arts. I love to write lyrics, free verse poetry, and short stories. I don't consider myself a poet. But I do consider myself a writer. I know, odd. I am currently writing a speculative fiction book, and I have less than 40,000 words to finish, and then enter the editing process. Authors, I love? Flannery O'Connor, Mary Shelly, Franz Kafka, William Shakespeare, and many others. My favorite books are Frankenstein, The Scarlet Letter, and the Bible. Other things I love: coffee, soccer (or European football), music, playing the guitar (I'm a complete amateur). I enjoy putting music together using loops on Garage Band, and I put my videos together using Video Manager on my PC for my Youtube channel. I'm an introvert, but I can be a chatty introvert. I laugh a lot but still like to reflect. I'm a spiritual person who believes in God, Jesus Christ. But I am far from perfect of course. All rights reserved © anaprose.com 2019

    You are refreshing. And you are right…truth is all we have and truth always wins. Sometimes when I was “swimming” I had to turn on my back and just float for awhile. It takes a lot less effort. Thanks for your post.
