Full of gratitude these days. ✨

Young Rubi would be so proud and hella stoked. I’m living fully and authentically, and lately I keep thinking, “What a time to be a woman.”

I’m the first woman in my bloodline to do whatever the f**k she wants. ✨ But it didn’t come easy. It came from my parents’ sacrifice their blood, sweat, tears, and their willingness to build a better life for themselves and our family. I’ll never take that for granted.

Growing up, I carried this culturally ingrained idea that my life had a set timeline: get married, have kids, and follow the same path as the women before me. It felt less like a choice and more like my destiny.

As I got older, I realized I had the freedom to choose a different path… one that felt true to me. That’s something I don’t take lightly. The women before me fought in their own ways so I’d have the opportunity to decide what fulfillment looks like for myself.

Today, I’m grateful for the life I’m building. Maybe it doesn’t look like what I imagined when I was younger, but it feels honest, adventurous, and deeply aligned. And I’m excited to keep following wherever it leads.

Whatever season of life you’re in right now, appreciate it for what it’s teaching you. Nothing is permanent, so be here now.

🇲🇽❤️‍🔥🇺🇸
