Good Enough <3
Yadian

People say I'm annoying, that I'm a nuisance, but when I checked, tu eres una cara sin luces.

¨You are ugly”, “You'll never be good enough¨, they said. But you’re a donkey, who are you going to “impress”?

People look me up and down, but when they see their own outfit they'll be ashamed.

I am beautiful. I am amazing in my own way. The Puerto Rican in me shines, the Guatemalan in me sparkles, the Dominican in me will chase you with a chancla if you mess with me, and the Massachusetts in me will bring out the sass.

I am the future, whether I'm a veterinarian, a dancer, or a beauty guru like James Charles, and if I'm a beauty guru,James Charles will be shook.

I’m beautiful. I’m funny. I’m sassy.I’m good enough, I’m good for me. You'll never be like me.

Like the one north star, you are bright. So keep it that way. You will always be good enough <3

Ruben

Ruben, o, Ruben what are thou favorite things Ruben?
For my favorite things you ask of me,
I give you merely three,
Voy a poner un poco de español aquí.

The first thing I like to do,
Is dream about finally having Little Nightmares 2.
Another thing I like to play, is basketball (almost) every day.
Also you should know,
I like to play in the snow.

Another thing I like to do,
Is celebrate holidays made by my religion, Jews.
Otra cosa que quiero hacer,
Is make animal drawings that you can ver.

My final advice I can give to you,
Is that you give off a beautiful hue.
So shine it bright in the night,
And remember,
There is only one you.
