Hey, I’m Yzaura. Writing has been my thing for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been the type to jot down my thoughts, dreams, and feelings in journals—it's how I make sense of the world.
Recently, I went through a big shift in my life—perimenopause. It really pulled me back to my writing. I wrote this poem called “The Change,” and when I shared it, something incredible happened. It sparked a conversation with so many women about aging, self-image, and how society sees us. Honestly, I didn’t expect that, but it gave me the courage to keep writing about all these changes, and how we can start embracing them instead of hiding them.
What I’ve found is that being open and real about these things has helped others do the same. It’s been amazing to see people connect with my work and realize they’re not alone in their feelings—that there’s no shame in any of it.
If there’s one thing I’d tell you, it’s to trust your intuition. It’s the best guide you’ve got. Dive into those feelings, no matter how messy they seem, and be honest with yourself. We all spend so much time taking care of others emotionally, but we really need to take care of our own emotional world too.
I want to create a space where you can be fully yourself—where you can share the good, the bad, and the messy parts of your story. The heartbreak, the laughter, the growth. We’re all a little messy and a little beautiful—that’s what makes us human, right? So, no matter who you are, I want you to feel welcome to share your story here. If you feel compelled come by Gypsy Loung BCN and share your story.
