Mabelita…

Who am I… Truth-teller with sharp humor, emotional depth, and zero tolerance for bullshit. I turn memory into clarity and rage into meaning. I write about trauma, resilience, justice, and what it means to survive without losing your soul. I’m just a regular person attending college, and I want to read and share. Hopefully, you do too.

✍️ Author’s Note on Writing Tools and Process

All my posts are written by me and I use ChatGPT as part of my creative and editorial process. Every idea, insight, and story began with my own voice, memory, and intention. I rely on this tool as I would a trusted editor: to clarify my thoughts, refine structure, and strengthen expression—never to replace the truth of lived experience.

I believe in ethical storytelling. That means crediting both the human and technological collaborators who support my work, and remaining transparent about how the words came to be. I use AI with discernment, curiosity, and care, always aiming to preserve the soul of what I write.
