You know how sometimes it feels like there is no end in sight? When there's a kind of permanence to the circumstances you find yourself in?
It's a lie. It simply isn't so.
Nothing lasts forever... and that's a good thing! Everything changes. Change is inevitable.
And things WILL GET BETTER. π
Read about all of the history that is celebrated this month in the Hispanic and Latin American communities in this issue of El Vuelo Informativo.
September is also Suicide Prevention Month, which, if you know me, you know is a topic very close to my heart. Please, if you are struggling, call or text 988. They have resources for everybody in English and Spanish. You donβt have to be thinking about suicide to get help; there are resources for a wide range of topics. Visit 988lifeline.org for more information.

βThis piece means many different things to many different parts of me, but it is always a means to an end.
Donβt lose yourself in what the populous deems a proper character. You are allowed to be a burden.β

Just $5 a makes a real difference for us.
But if you can't support us monetarily, sharing Tumbleweird with friends and family is a great way to support us! Reading Tumbleweird and following us on social media is support, too!
