Colimensa

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first blog ever! I am Melina Galilea Jimenez Deniz. I am 26 years old, and I am from Colima, Mexico. As a young woman trying to find my place in the world, I have noticed that one of the things I enjoy the most is feeling understood. As time passes and I grow older, I find that this becomes more difficult to achieve. That is why you are here. I opened this blog with the purpose of trying to understand myself. I needed a platform where I could compile my ideas, critiques, and feelings about everything.

I must confess that I hate grammar, and I hated my Spanish classes growing up. I love expressing my ideas and writing essays, but when it comes to checking grammar, I find it boring and unnecessary. The way I used to think was: if you understand me in the end—even if you struggle along the way—that was enough for me. Now I understand that in order to convey exciting, intricate, and precise ideas, I need the right pauses at the right moments. I need accents on the right words because I want the reader to understand my excitement, my sadness, and my anger through my text. My goal is to be able to express myself through writing as clearly as I do when talking. It is not going to be easy, and I don’t promise perfection, but I can promise consistency. So if you want to read a poorly written essay about something random every week, you are in the right place.

As you might eventually notice, I tend to get obsessed with things. I have been obsessed with swimming, baking, doing math, and my most recent obsession is the philosophy of science. So you can expect a variety of topics each week. I am going to try to keep it random, but one thing is certain: I will write about food the most, because I am obsessed with it. I don’t eat to stay alive—I am alive to eat.

By the way, in case you were wondering, this is me:
