About Me

how it started

I grew up in a Mexican household, where my mom believed remedies for most things could be found in the kitchen. She often used a mixture of salt and water to heal ailments like a sore throat or an open wound. Writing is how I heal, mi agua y sal.

Writing was always a source of therapy for me. Whenever I experienced something beautiful, heartbreaking or painful, placing the experiences outside myself, and on to paper allowed me to view my life from an outside perspective. In a sense, the story became someone else’s. And what a beautiful story heartbreak makes when it isn’t your own.

Agua y Sal is a glimpse at my healing journey. I’m hoping through shared experiences I can connect with you and help you along your journey, too.

Thank you for reading. I hope to hear your stories as well.
