STORIES
“The day that you meet the love of your life is the day you’re fucked.”
In Colombia the church bells ring softly on Sunday morning. Another week has passed, another one is coming–Si Dios quiere.
Mami makes plans to visit loved ones later that day–Si Dios quiere.
All around the world, Latinxs hope and plan for the future, even if moments away, but always–Si Dios quiere.
It’s a sentiment that stays with Colombian-Canadian singer and songwriter Jessie Reyez, pulling her back and forth between two worlds: an English one, a Spanish one, and a space in between both; the continuous awareness of mortality’s fragility. Each day, she’s grateful for another–knowing yesterday could have been her last. It’s equal parts morbid and optimistic. It’s an emotional awareness that helps her work through all things, even heartache.
