Rafa, The Time Traveler

If you had some sort of time machine, where would you travel to? Using the word "where" instead of the word "when" seems erroneous, since I am referring to travelling to a specific time, no matter how far back or how far beyond in time. If technology were advanced enough for me to roam through time, I wouldnt want to stray to far from the new millennium. I would set my time machine to a familiar era. In this case, I would want to travel to the nineties, since I spent most of my childhood throughout this period of time. When visiting this specific era, I would go to all the places I grew up in. By doing this, I would get a second look at some of the most beautiful moments in my life. I would witness my first years, which include my first words and steps, and I would get to see my parents at a younger age. If I could go back in time to the nineties, I would get to relive some of my fondest childhood memories.

Rafa, The Woman

I once had a frightful dream where I had been transformed into a woman. Even more so, a nightmare, for I was a man incarcerated in a beautiful woman’s body, left in a man’s world where most wanted to keep me as a trophy for themselves. At one point, I got tired of being this prize men sought after, so I decided to go beyond what was expected of a beautiful woman, by getting an education and becoming a successful businesswoman. But, even though I had a triumphant career, I still was seen as just a beautiful woman, only this time, no man ever dared to pursue me. Days after this stupor, I found this dream of mine to be a reality to most women. I realized that if, for some reason, I were turned into a woman, I would not survive a week alive, due to the fact that I am not strong enough to be a woman.
