I'm Tanya. 19 & a UCI sophomore.Laughing is my favorite exercise.
My family brings me joy.
My friends make me happy.
Smiles, hellos, highfives, and the like make my day.
People who try to make a difference are beautiful. I strive to become one of them someday.
Those simple, everyday moments are what count. And here I am, blogging away my life story. It may not be interesting, or funny, or even worth reading, but it's life through my eyes, and I cherish every good or bad, strange or cool, fun or boring thing about it.
And I love God for giving me all of these things.

You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edge
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.
This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
on your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.
And I will not be afraid
of your scars.
I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.
