What I enjoy about writing is how much freedom you have to express yourself. I could be a better writer. I am no Shakespeare or John Steinbeck. Truthfully, English is the subject I struggle with the most, so I can't write a 4-star essay. I love to talk and writing is just like talking. I adore my cats to death, so, since I cannot write a compelling essay about why me, I want to share about my cats to at least make you smile. My first cat is Oso, he is a long hair domestic cat, grey and black, with tiger stripes, and to be blunt I do not know where he came from, when I was 5 years old I woke up in the middle of the night to find a random cat on the coffee table drinking the coffee my mom didn't finish earlier. He was about 4 months not that small. I believed I was dreaming until in the morning I woke up with a coffee fishy smell near me. It was Oso sleeping upside down paws in the air, mouth open with his eyes half open and half closed, he looked so silly. Of course, I didn't care at 5 years old where this funny cat flew in from, and, I didn't know he was a he, so for about 8 months his name was Pretty Princess, he wasn't one for hugs, but he adored head pats and soft stokes, he is now at least 12 years old, and he loves to be an outdoor car. Blachu is 6 years old, she is a short-haired domestic cat, half her face is orange, she has black hair, one orange leg, and she is covered with orange hairs, she's like a middle-aged lady with canas (white hairs). She is the sweetest, most gentle kitty ever. This one time, I had come home upset from taking an exam, and Blachu was the only cat who let me hug her without complaining, so I looked for her. She was nowhere to be found, not under the bed, in the bathroom, or in my parent’s bed. So I headed to the closet to change, and I looked up, and Blachu was there in the closet looking down at me with her pupils fully dilated and her tongue sticking out barely. I couldn't help but laugh. Oreo, the biggest cat I have, weighs at least 7 pounds. She is a tuxedo cat from the front and is black and white all around. Wherever I go she goes, and she eats with me, if there is an extra chair at the table then she claims it or sits on my lap and sits until we give her food, she has the most innocent face, and she is wholesome looking, but make no mistake she will eat whatever she can get into and then sit and stare at you with her little angel face. Truthfully, they are the reason I strive to better myself. Even if it is childish, I want to get a better education to apply to higher job positions so I can give them as many toys and treats as they deserve. I want to make them as happy as they make me, I wish to provide the space they need to run around and to ensure they don't go hungry. I strive to be the best version of myself to offer them everything they deserve. My cats are my god-given solace, so I believe they have a right to a happy cat life. Thank you for your time.

Who made you believe you could live a dream where you had everything you wanted? “Ocean Eyes” by Billie Eilish released in 2016 I would lie in bed imagining various scenarios and listening to various songs, and one song that always came to my mind was "Ocean Eyes". I'm aware that the quote “Ocean eyes” may be referring to blue eyes like Billie’s, but when I was younger, I would envision it as eyes that were filled with tears. I love the melody, it helped me calm down when I would have a panic attack about a home situation. Not too long ago, I met someone who made me feel like this song, although a bit cheesy he is the sweetest person I've met. Ocean eyes, remind me of watching someone from afar, loving them, while you're also afraid of committing to another relationship. At least, that was my situation, I had found a person who was surrounded by many friends yet seemed lonely, and he would have these sad eyes, I wanted to make him happy. However, I was afraid of “Falling” again as I believed that all relationships would end with tears and regrets, but so far I haven't even seen a single tear of goodbye. I am as happy and content as the melody, “Watch” By Billie Eilish released in 2017 My father was an angry short Mexican drunk, he’s changed now, but he has always given me a reason to keep going. I have always been a Daddy’s girl, that was until he would get confrontational, thoughtless, and violent towards the family. He “Started a fire in me” that truthfully I have not been able to put out. It is a vile anger that makes me want to make sure that my family succeeds ahead even if it is just my mother and brother that do so. I don't let anyone too close because this emotion I have towards the person he was while under the influence, has never seen the daylight as I have “never put it out.” Although he changed, he used to be so vain and would only care about himself. He would get away with it because I would always forgive him for being a good daughter, but that only made me feel guilty and as if the situation would never get resolved. Everything has changed now, he left that lifestyle and I grew up and stopped letting him behave how he wants to. Everything is a happy ending, but I for the life of me cannot let go of this emotion. “Birds of a Feather” By Billie Eilish Released in 2024, There's this Amazing boy, who is the sweetest, most loyal person ever. He is my other piece, I have never wanted to be with anyone more than him “forever.” Truthfully, even if it is just my teenage mindset, I want to be with him and adore him until I’m no longer in this world, that is the biggest way I can show my love for him. We aren't perfect, he has beautiful flaws, and the cutest smile, a beautiful person on the inside and out. He is as competitive, weird, and as cheesy as I am. He is my best friend, the best boyfriend ever, he makes me the happiest person ever, there is nowhere I would rather be than with him. I would give him my life wholeheartedly, this song is an example of how I feel about him, I am as happy and worry-free when I listen to this song as to when I am with him.
