My nickname is really weird to be honest but it is what it is I guess. Most people call me “Kiki” or “Kinky” with a Spanish kind of accent. The reasoning behind this name is still unknown (for me) but all I know was that my mom first started calling me this unusual nickname and it spread

to everyone and that’s that. I guess it’s also because of my hair because obviously it’s kinky. And now, even some of my friends call me that.

I honestly have no idea where it comes from but I’m guessing it comes from my curly hair. It means that sometimes, I can be a little weird and crazy because I do a lot of dumb stuff. I guess I like it but at the same time, it’s weird to say. Lastly, it definitely represents my weird and goofy dumb self. ^^

Foods I hate >:(

• EGGS because the frickin’ yolk is just atrocious as soon as it enters my mouth. Fish because it tastes too much like the sea. Celery because it tastes like the color green but lighter if that makes sense… Cold broccoli because it’s just wrong if you eat it cold and not cooked.

• Peanut butter because it’s too nutty and gross. Almond butter because it taste exactly like fish somehow.

• Olives because it tastes like the color green and it tastes like grass to a different level.

• Anything pumpkin related because my best friend is allergic to it.Eggplant because I can immediately imagine the taste when my grandma puts it on the stove to burn.

• • Very spicy hot sauce because my nose starts to get runny obviously. ://

• I love cheddar cheese because it is superior. :)

• • •

YOU’RE WORTH MORE THAN ANYTHING \\ 26 Crimson would be my supervillain name because I like that color. The story behind Crimson is that they have always liked the color and so they wish to see everything in that color. They also have the power to fly across the dark night sky and paint things a crimson color.

Malice would be my superhero name because it’s related to the word angel in a way and I guess this superhero is an angel with a badass personality and can magically appear from anywhere. :)

First of all, love is not cringe and if you think otherwise, you’re CANCELED and you’re emo or maybe you're just depressed. Without love, you’d become a really cold-hearted person and not learn how to love or know how to take love. (Whatever I just wrote is cringe LOL.)

Blind Love

There were two people, at the park, sitting on a bench. That was their favorite park. One day, they started to talk with each other. S l o w l y, they became friends. After a while, they grew love for each other, despite not being able to see each other’s faces. One of them then confessed to the other person and became something more than friends. They loved each other for who they are and their personality.

People I love:

• Myself • My dad: A.M. • My mom: A.R. • My grandmas: Rosa, Flor • My older sister: Y.M. • My younger sisters: J.M., A.A.M., A.M. • My brothers: A.M., J.M. • Mike • Ms. Saldana • John

• Bladi • Ms. Barbara <3 • Cyan • Chassidy • Merlina • Ariana • Aja • Eileen • Stephany • Ronny (S.O.) • My music teacher (R.I.P.)

What makes my home stand out is my bathroom. I actually have two bathrooms. One is clean, and the other isn’t so clean. That is because my sisters don’t know how to be clean, unlike me and my dad, and my dad keeps his bathroom super clean. ^_^

I only have one thing to say about my neighborhood: it is really loud at times because sometimes they just like to blast music and blast it until 4 AM. Sometimes, I hear my friend David and his friends screaming and playing in the water when it wasn’t so cold and sometimes I see the same people sitting outside just talking and listening to music.

What makes my neighborhood nice is the people. The people I see are always sitting outside and I don’t know most of them, but I know one person. Another thing that makes my neighborhood nice is the corner deli. I love the corner deli because I’ve been going there for 2 years and the store people are really nice and funny.
