Is it time to come back to this platform and say hello again?!?
I Think So! 💖
How goes it my virtual friends?
It’s been a minute, and boy do I have some things to share with you!
But first… how’s that mental health doing?
#anxietywarrior
#cancersurvivor
Well since y’all know now… here I am ready for chemo! I will not let this defeat me…
I promise to not post many of these pictures as I don’t wish for it to trigger anyone, just want to share some of my journey with you all and why I’ve been so absent!
#cancersurvivor
And that’s a wrap on day 1 of my last cycle!
I rang the bell, I danced, and I cried! 💖
Here me and my mom enjoying this moment with my certificate they came with Wonder Woman on it!

Sorry I’ve been so out of it to post as tomorrow is my last chemo treatment!🤞🏽
I’m exhausted, can barely feel my feet and hands, tastes a little weird, I’ve lost my thick hair… but I’m alive yall! I’ve survived and I’m ready to thrive!
I’m ready to be my full Wonder Woman form!
Today was a tough mental health day folks.
I tried to be positive, but if anyone wanted to know chemo really sucks!
I pray that I will get my life back ( the one I truly want) soon, as this has proven to be exhausting!
Sending love to all the

who endured this.
LABN Thoughts
Dealing with my emotions around LABN was a whirlwind! Battling panic attacks and dealing with multiple breakups all while trying to hold it together on screen; but through it all there was this family, that somehow chose me, and honestly I am eternally grateful! 1/?
Joining that early morning
#ThirstTrapRPG
train here! Outside of performance, I am typically shy to show off my body these days. So here’s to a period of time in performance/ cosplay I was ballsy enough to do so.
Round 10 of 12 cycles of chemo!! Listening to my wonder woman soundtrack, and working but sitting here also imagining I’m fighting like wonder woman does on the battlefield!⚔️
I can see the end of this chapter sooo close!
Keep fighting

Hey y’all!
Just wanted to post saying I’m going to be taking a hiatus for abit from this platform (possibly from most social media) to work on my mental health/stress levels post cancer.

Feeling a little sad and gloomy. Third day of chemo really knocks a gal down. Though I’m happy to get my pump removed today, still feel crappy.
Gah, I just want to return back to my life even though I know the path forward is to go through this.

Since today is Cancer survivor day I figured I should come out to you all with my story since I’m feeling a little better about it all… I am a cancer survivor!
It’s been a long road this year, so here’s the short of it: 1/8
I realize I never posted this pic!! Gah, such an honor to play this legendary vampire! Lucita De Aragón has been a fave of mine for sometime! Check out the wig, I kept sitting on it! 🤣
Happy Sunday

Today is my last day being 36 years old and if there’s anything I’ve learned this year it’s this:
You have only one life to live, you can choose to worry your life away, or you can choose to LIVE and find happiness!
I choose to live in happiness!✨

Feeling the FOMO real hard yall!
While everyone else is having a ball, I’m stuck in bed receiving chemo.
So bummed even though I’m close to the end of my treatments.
I wish I could be at Gen con. 😭
Thought I’d share my outfit from last episode of New York By Night cause it was one of my favorites… and yes Coco wears dresses!🖤

Had an emotional evening culminating with seeing a friend from a decade ago say “ you grew into a boss bitch… you look amazing!” I’ve never felt more empowered to embrace my adult self, even with the massive panic attacks I felt that moment.

WEEEEPA!!!!! Proud Puerto Ricaña here!
I strive to bring my Latine flare to characters I play because it’s important that Latines see that we too have a spot at the table!
Fellow Latine ttrpg gamers pop off in the comments! Let’s see that Pride!
I promised myself I wouldn’t post due to the amount of mental anguish I’ve gone though the last year leading up to this moment, but for my fellow

I’m a proud member of House Moderna. 💪🏽
Strength and wisdom comes with age as well as confidence to realize when someone is acting like an idiot.
For the first time in my life, I was basically called “old”. It shook me. Then I realized all the experiences I’ve had got me to where I am today... yea im old and proud!
In anticipation of next Friday’s S2 Premiere of New York By Night I thought I would let y’all speculate about Coco by releasing three songs off of my character playlist😈:
1. HAPPINESS by IAMX
2. Malamenté by Rosalía
3. In the End by 2WEI and Edda Hayes

I can’t believe it’s been three months since I had my last chemo treatment. Ngl, I break down crying every morning wondering how the fuck i did it.
Still really processing it all…

So… this is my first vampire character ever, my Lasombra Elena (circa 2017), who later became my inspiration for Coco on NY by Night!
I miss playing her at larp! She was classy and cut throat! 🖤
May need a fabulous return to larp!

@ByNightStudios
Dealing with my first ever character “death”/ loss. Crap, I never thought I’d feel the bleed as hard as I am now. She was my first character at my LARP and because of circumstance I decided to pull the plug. Just please remember to be kind to others before passing judgement.
My Maharajah,
@BDaveWalters
I agreed who knew 10 years ago when we met we’d be where we are today! Your sheer tenacity and boldness as a roleplayer never ceases to amaze me, so proud of you! And yes… Victor was always right. 9/?

Vague post, but saying a prayer for my incredible dad going through surgery as I type this.
I’m scared. I know everything will be ok... but any prayers, spiritual healing, good vibes are welcomed! 🥺

Fellow anxiety warriors,
with some upcoming medical procedures, and health concerns, I am taking a step back from engaging on social media. I’ll post when I can, but I have to focus on me right now so that I can get back to health.
Thank you for your understanding.💖
