A Moment in Space and Time

-
by: Brenda Nieves

When I compare us to the rest of the universe I realize that we are so tiny, but your actions have made such an impact.

This moment spent with you fills me with euphoria.

I would be content with reliving this day
loving you in every single way.

I look at you sleeping and all I want is to be stuck in this moment laying next to you.

When you speak time freezes and the only person I can hear clearly is you.

Your words dance into my ears and seep into my bloodstream
they flow into my heart and fill me with love.

You were right time is irrelevant, but I do wish we had an early start.
It's hard to leave a place knowing you're leaving behind half of your heart.

I look at you talking and all I want is to be stuck in this very moment completely focused on you.

When our skin touches I no longer feel afraid. I get lost within you.

It's almost like the bed sheets create an unpenetrable force field and remove us from the world
and you just drive me crazy with every twist and every twirl.

The closer I get to you the more I can smell your warm almond scent
in every intimate moment, it feels like it was meant.

I look at your bare skin and all I want is to be stuck in this very moment making love to you.

I yearn to hold your hand once more.
And when I do I promise to hold on forever
because you stood by me through this challenging endeavor.

The feelings I have for you are oh-so-true
and that's because I'm madly in love with you.


This is dedicated to Akeem Diallo.

So I've been living in Indonesia for over 100 days....to be honest with you all, it feels like I just got here. I mean yes I learned the language and know a bit about the culture, but things still feel new to me. I was recently told by a PCV veteran that the feeling will go away (I can't wait) I’ve been living in my permanent site (Tasikmalaya, Karangjaya) for about a month now (I think)...I haven’t been counting. All I know is that I got here just a few days before Christmas. I was not looking forward to the holidays, but they were better than expected. This is in front of what would be called their town hall. It's absolutely beautiful. For Christmas, I went to Tasikmalaya City with a volunteer named Mahogoni. We had a Christmas Eve dinner and hung out in this huge mall. Since this country is predomi...

The End of Training, The Beginning of Teaching

The content of this website is mine alone and does not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Government, the Peace Corps, or the Indonesian Government. Hello again!  So its been two months and I’m finally coming to an end with my training. Let me just say, it has been one interesting experience. I’ve gone through sicknesses, meltdowns, and joyous moments. Looking back at it all, I wouldn’t want to change anything that happened (even my WiFi breaking because of the rain). It literally took me a second to collect myself because I almost flipped shit. Here are some of my highlights that happened in the past month: I went to Pizza Hut with my host family here in Kediri and the ONLY reaction to it was, “WTF why don’t we have this in America” The Pizza Hut here is literally a sit in restaurant. They have rice bowls, pasta, and fancy drinks in these really tall skinny glass cups. I don’t want you reading this to think I’m exaggerating this didn’t feel like no regular ...

Speak Less, Listen More

How to Listen There are many things that are currently happening in America, Trump becoming president, laws changing, and people fighting for their rights. In this moment of turmoil, the best thing we can do is understand each other, instead of physically hurting each other. I’m not saying to take someone else's belief and make them your own, but just listen to what others have to say so that you can better understand their actions.This can create a less hostile environment so that there is room for civil conversations. I think this is pretty fucking important because it seems like we're living in a very important time in American History (fingers crossed). (I don't own this photo. Click here ) Topics That are Causing Conflict I’m currently living in Virginia and the two topics that have been causing some conflicts here are the Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM) and the Confederate flag. I have heard about BLM from fellow peers saying things such as “they’re a...
