    I’ve always been considered a cat person. When I was a baby, one of my first words was “bebé miau miau” (baby meow meow). It was love at first sight. I would pick up the cats or kittens without a single care if they scratched me, and my brothers would usually compare me with Elmyra…

  • You put boundaries, and bad people get upset. Don’t you hate that?

    I am not the funniest person in the world, and I acknowledge that. Humor is not my strength, and I can be the type of person who gets upset at a mildly mean joke (or at many jokes directed at me). However, something that makes my blood boil is when you stand up to a…
