l love you.
I know I don't say it enough.
Sometimes I get frustrated, Sometimes I need space,
Sometimes I wish you just knew without me having to explain.
But I see you trying, and I see your love.

And for that, I say,
Thank you for everything,

I love you, Mom.
Since being back in Texas, I live in the Bible Belt of the US, I have been subjected to racist and homophobic slurs and acts. I’m talking about people leaving when I arrive to the gym. Like stop their routine and leaving. Been told they would like to hunt down my kind. Told being lgbtqia+ are subhumans.

Y’all I need to find a job to pay back those who trusted and believe in me when no one did. They’re my priority and then getting out of here before it keeps affecting my mental health. I’m great at graphic design but just as great in any sector in the marketing field. Copywriter, creative or art director, brand and logo designer, social media manager, content creator etc.

I just need someone to give me a chance. I graduated from two prestigious private universities. I have put in the work, time, and dedication.
To anyone living overseas especially Spain and are thinking of moving back to the States please don’t. It’s bad here. I should have listen to the stranger who bought most of my things.

She said “you will regret it, but I will be here welcoming you back because Madrid is your home. You’re a Madrileño. You’ve lived here for 11 years. Don’t leave your home!”
I did a summer infusion branding for Jarritos and tied along my 30 day poster challenge and this was the final result.

Day 15th I’ll post them in order when I launch the project because the recording is what’s taking it sweet time.
Here is a sneak peek

Yall this 30day poster challenge is killing me. It’s pushing me creatively but also killing me.

Would you all like to see me post them every day?
Staying up late either applying for jobs or working on projects to add to my portfolio hoping something turns up soon. If you all know of someone hiring remotely please let me know.

I think it was the great American poet Ludacris who said “Move b***h! Get out the way, get get out the way, get get out the way!” 🚶🏽‍♂️💨

And honestly it changed my life. Lyrics that touch your heart.
I. Had. It.

Also apparently I made the I hate teachers list. My house got egged over the weekend.

Like “bruh” I’m a sub, not even your teacher why am I in this?
Let’s normalize putting the location for a job at the beginning and not “remote” I’ve applied for 6 jobs today and at the end the last statement/question was “this position requires citizens of so and so country are you a citizen? Or 1 hour away from so so city” like I spent hours tailoring my CV and writing cover letters for nothing.

Y’all count your blessings and be glad you have a job it’s tough out here for a muscular guy with a small waist and fat ass.
Anybody know if anyone is hiring a graphic designer? Staying up late every day applying for jobs or doing projects to elevate my portfolio is getting to me.
Don’t ask me to smile
Or shake it off.
Don’t ask what’s wrong
If you won’t stay long.
Don’t ask me why I never said a word.
I was too far gone, too damn disturbed.

The silence wasn’t meant to hide.
It was just the only way I could survive.
Not every battle leaves a scar.
Some just change who you are.
I don’t think I ever hated anyone as much as I hate this clown. I’m not even religious but him and his administration know zero boundaries.

I regret moving back to the States.

Saging the negativity and bad juju from this weekend and from my life. Palo Santoing positive vibes and wealth into my life

As I was reading a book for poster inspiration I saw a phrase that truly touch me and spoke to my soul. So I’ll share with you all:

“No more chasing what doesn’t chase you back. You deserve to be celebrated, not tolerated.”
Sorry you all I had to have a break from social media for a few days. What did I miss what have you all been up to?
Lana del Rey is always mood when I’m lifting heavy at the gym. The bigger the muscles, the bigger the kween.

Which one do you all like best. This is for my 30day poster challenge. The skill/challenge was to crate a foggy mirror effect

Is anybody also obsessed with the tv series “The Handmaid’s Tale”?
I’ve battled anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. A few years ago, it even pushed me to the point of attempting suicide.

This is the storm inside my head that I battle every single day.

Today’s challenge was to create a minimalist film/series poster in under an hour.

This was especially challenging for me since I always want to add more to every design.

“It’s okay to fall apart. Tacos fall apart and we still love them”

We love a mess.
Break ups suck, but not as much as your ex. Don’t put your life on hold waiting for a sorry you’ll never get.

Here is a snippet of the poem I wrote to myself. Spoiler alert I cried like a baby.

Coming out to a conservative catholic Latino family was one of the most terrifying things I’ve done in my early 20’s.

Even more difficult was hearing my mom thinking it was something she did, so I wrote her a poem.

Have you ever run into a friend you fell out with because of their closed-minded views? You try to say hi but instead you just stand there still gay knowing they just avoided you and walked the other way.
“There’s a name
for what I carry
but I don’t say it out loud.
The Storm Inside
is quieter than thunder,
but heavier than sound.”

This one is for the quiet fighters
“And every time you saw me break,
I saw your heart begin to ache.
So I smiled instead.
Nodded. Said, “I’m fine.”
Then went to war with my own mind.”

Some of you all know this feeling too well.
Some days hit harder than others. Writing helps me get through what I don’t know how to say. Here’s a small piece from a poem I wrote, The Storm Inside.

“You see the jokes, the smiles I fake,
but not the nights I lie awake.
Or how I walk through every day
with quiet grief I never say.”

Living with anxiety and depression means some days hit harder than others. Writing helps me process what I can’t always say out loud. Here’s a small part of a poem I wrote, “The Storm Inside”

“There’s a name
for what I carry
but I don’t say it out loud.
The Storm Inside
is quieter than thunder,
but heavier than sound.”
Mexican coded, reasons why I won’t have that shredded summer body this year.

Growing up Mexican means being spoiled by your mom.

Currently working on this project before I take a break and hit the gym.

The goal was to create an illusion of touching a frosted glass but I still need to add some elements to give it that European raver punk who wants to make space on the fashion editorial industry.

Open for suggestions and or comments!

Also I’m a perfectionist and sometimes a bit too harsh on my self with an overdose of imposter syndrome here and there. 😬
I’m a creative designer and I saw this trend online of a 30 day poster challenge.

So I decided to jump on this trend and will launch soon but here are some projects that didn’t make the first cut…
