It is beautiful there.
A dark haven filled with color they call Nowhere. Underneath my eyelids I stay there and play hide and seek with the beasts that lie silent in the shadows.
It is dark there.
Ghosts of broken hearts and wasted dreams shuffle slow and kick the stones that lay motionless on the streets.
There is magic here in Nowhere, there is silence.
A man would lay a cold hand on your shoulder whenever you got lonely. He would soon disappear when you turn to seek him.
Sounds echo down dark alleyways, but there is nothing in sight. Fear stricken within you parades like an invasive blight.
This is where the creatures frolic. They dance to the beat of your racing heart. With every pulse they throw up their hands and scream with electric blue passion.
They howl and whisper in the beautiful, in the dear darkness they call home. Your mind.
Your heart.
They are within you.
You are Nowhere.

The time my sis and I saw aliens
When I was about 8-10 years old (I don't remember exactly), my sister and I were at a family party hosted by my uncle's parents. Being Mexican, our parties typically involved lots of relatives, their kids, and random friends, so there were probably 20-25 people there. The party was in my uncle's parents' driveway and front yard, with tables of food in the driveway and kids playing in the front yard where there was a bouncy house.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
