Gramática 

Porque el cielo ha conspirado en mi favor - Because the heavens have conspired in my favor: 

ha conspirado = present perfect tense (haber + participio pasada)

Me haces bien - You make me better (literally: you make me well)

me (pronombre) + haces (hacer en el presente 2a persona) + bien (adjetivo)

Creo en ti - I believe in you

Creo (creer en el presente 1a persona) 

Creer means to believe. When pared with “en” + “persona/pronombre” it means “to believe in...”

Me ha vuelto indestructible - I have become indestructible

volverse (con pronombre) = to become

“vuelto” is the past participle of volver(se), it’s irregular

me vuelvo (presente) = I become

me ha vuelto (pres. perfect) = I have become

Mi dolor se quedo kilómetros atrás = my pain stayed kilometers away

se quedo = quedarse en el pasado 3a persona

this verb always needs a reflexive pronoun

Past tenses

te encontré   = I found you

crucé = I crossed

esperé = I hoped/waited (what a fun wordplay)

This was super fun to work on! I didn’t include everything because that would take forever! I love this song so much, it’s so cute and sweet.

“You are the love of my life,

without you,

I am incomplete” 

“Hoy ha sido un día ridículo, escandaloso, incoherente. Son las once de la noche y me hallo en mi cuartito concentrado en mis recuerdos.”

— Fiódor Dostoievski. El jugador.

life works out. i cannot stress this enough. life always works out. it always turns out in your favor even if it doesn’t go according to the original plan. you may be utterly confused and lost right now, it may feel like everything is falling apart and there is nothing you can do to salvage any of it. but believe me when i say that this is just a transition period. things are constantly changing and evolving around you even if you can’t actively see that. life is changing you to prepare you for what is to come. you are growing and as you grow you are being built into the person that you are going to be. because see, life always has this funny way of working out.

As with my LGBT+ List, I’m seeing a lot of the same books on my dash, so I spent a few hours researching some lesser-known books. These books fall across a variety of genres and age group.
