Hi world! My name is Nelly Cosme, and I am an ESL teacher in PR. I have two children ages 10 and 7, and I live with my husband.

What inspired me to start this blog is basically the need to communicate with people and share my views. I have been in the public school system for 13 years, and my retirement pension is in a dire situation. I have been diagnosed since the past year with adjustment disorder, which I have had triggers on and off for quite some time. I also find a way to over schedule myself, which doesn’t help much either.

I’ve done some trial and error on subjects and I am learning to let go. Of what? Of being a perfectionist, of trying to be first in everything and getting frustrated when I can’t accomplish it to the best of someone else’s expectation. This project, I am doing for me, for my journey, regardless of how routine or mundane it makes me feel. Believe me, it took me months of research, of overthinking and constant mental shunning for this space to happen.

So why start this for free?

My plan is to eventually make this space into a “.com blog”. I know a free version has its limits towards the potential it can generate, but my focus right now is to get myself out there. Sometimes, one has to begin with mistakes in order to accomplish success.

I want to log my journey towards being a better person, a better mom and a more stable self, emotionally and financially. My biggest flaw is that I care too deeply, regarding peoples’ reactions and actions. This is my space towards acceptance and improvement.

Welcome once again. Bienvenidos!
