I had always been good in games, in fighting, in being well… rough. When we were much younger, I used to bully her so badly that she never joined in any of our games. She became a weak ghost, a girl who was just that…a girl. No more. Well I… well; I was more of a boy, a fighter, someone who laughed when the mother advised the daughter to wash her

I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead and I knew this was the start of something new. It was something that I knew would lead me to great heights.

But that 's okay, because that 's what happens when you strip down the human body and start poking at its organs. Even alone, in your own home, when no one is looking, there is so much stuff that comes out of a body. There are so many flaws that we can see. There are aches and pains, there are bumps and bruises, there are boogers and blood. We cannot stop the flow
THERE IS A PICTURE of me standing with my cousin Nemecia in the bean field. On the back is penciled in my mother’s hand, Nemecia and Maria, Tajique, 1929. Nemecia is thirteen; I am six.
