About Me

My name is Quizaira. I'm a pretty likable person. I try not to lie, but manage to gossip more than I should. I love to listen to music. I love to hang out with friends. I think any woman who chooses to step outside the household or achieve a goal beyond the ones designed for her makes her as a feminist. I need to start working out because I've put on a few. I love laughter, especially when it's genuine. All in all, I love just chilling and laughing it up with a group of people.I value the people that have made an impact on my life in a positive way, even if they destroyed it momentarily. I'm fairly open-minded and try to write without a bias, unless an issue calls for my personal opinion or experience.I believe in peace. I have no patience for neutrality or indifference when it comes to world issues. I strongly believe in today's world, those who sit back and neutrally watch the horrors of war, poverty and social injustices are just as much to blame as those who contribute to it.

I had a dream a few days ago. An old hispanic lady was looking at me. She looked very worn with time, like she was from a rural area. Very homely, she had no teeth and her hair was unkempt, she had a ...
