surviving & thriving
My Survivals began as a passion project of mine. I’ve lived quite an eventful life, to say the least. This blog contains stories of what I have been able to overcome as well as my adventures in life.
about me
have been thinking about turning my hand to writing for over twenty five years, to write about my life experiences, my ideas, the many challenges I have faced, the numerous changes of setting I have endured and the multiple experiences I have been subject to.
My life might be defined as an amalgam of short stories, starting with the uniqueness of each one of these experience-based chapters and followed by the lack of continuity between them.
I was born in El Salvador to a so-called distinguished family. My father was a career diplomat and my mother was the daughter of an eminent Salvadorian physician of international repute.
seize your life
I was not prepared for what life had in store for me. Yet I persevered and made the most out of it! Picking up different hobbies along my journey helped make for successful turn arounds. If I can do it, you can too.
