    About this ebook

    This is the modified, translated version of Porque La Piña ’Tá Agria. The title of this book is a common saying among Dominicans. It translates to literally mean "the pineapple is sour." Figuratively, though, it means things are not going so well, typically financially. I am publishing this book because I have always wanted to be a published author. However, I am selling it because financially, things are not going so well. As stated in my foreword, "here rest my fears, my troubles, my teenage infatuations, and my loves."

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Being an adult is… Never being an adult. Life is serious enough without being serious. I’ll be 50 next year and if I ever become an adult, smack me over the head. If someone could reveal what your 2024 will involve, would you want to know what would
