I talk a lot about my Puerto Rican heritage because I'm catching up on 20-someodd many years of either deliberately ignoring it or actively resenting it, and I feel almost like I need to make amends for it within myself. And the disconnect I have with that side of me has been a big source of pain on a lot of levels, in different ways, some that I've healed from, and some I'm working on, and some that will never fully heal.
But it occurs to me only now that I genuinely did not grow up without culture -- and yeah, the main one I could point to was (US) Southern culture, and that's true, but I also grew up with a very healthy sense of Irish pride from my mom's side of the family, and I'm just thinking how I would love to figure out how to connect these two cultures in a way that feels right.

Hihi! I don't actually have an ask.. I just wanted to say I LOVE your art. You clearly know your Zelda lore and games, and put so much WORK into each piece and it shows! I'm a huge fan! Keep being amazing, and I hope you have a really really good day. Today and every day! Slainté! 💚
Thank you so much! I am touched by your words! I'm glad you like my humble and messy art. I'm still in the process of getting to know all of the official Zelda stories, but the process has been very slow due to my job.
Thank you for your support which means a lot to me. And I hope you find your happiness every day :D
I hope I am right when I reply to you with: Sláinte agatsa!

I made some fresh #homemade #guacamole for #stpatricksday! What? It’s green! I’m also eating it with lime tortilla chips. Those are not green but limes are!

#HAPPYNEWYEAR from us to you, from #Edinburgh #scotland. It was a big year for us, but this year, we're gonna make it bigger #slainté to many more memories like this one! #edhogmanay. #scottsmonument 🍻 (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom)
\\ so, last year, this time, i was staying with one of the coziest room (attic) and with a warmest person i've known in #dublin. @jacquiec10 treated me more like a #son than a tenant and tried making food #spicy, which is a great deal for #irish people. trust me on this one! . while one year flew within a blink of an eye, there have been a number of #memories. staying in such a #picturesque attic, was one of them. i sure did receive a lot of envy messages because of the fortune of staying in such a place, and to all those jealous people, #fuckyou :') . although @ayumingram39 gets to stay there now :/ . anyhow, here's to more years in dublin and more #travelstories . #dublindiaries #room #roomporn @roomporn #slainté #memories #moments #nostalgia #throwbacktuesday \\ (at Finglas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2g4xHDibaH/?igshid=12piyb6s9z2ci
