Lozas de nostalgia
Out of all the things and people I could be missing right now, and there are plenty, I miss century-old elaborate tiles that adorn the old homes in my hometown of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. And it hit me out of the blue, with no warning, just a PANG of nostalgia. You know the kind. All I could think about was all the beautiful tiles I've stepped on and admired all throughout my Island. I love how chipped they would be, and while some may deem that as neglect, I found it even more endearing. The textures were usually rough, either by design or by age. But they were always carefully laid out, and no matter their conditions, they were simply beautiful .
And I FREAKIN miss that right now so much it hurts.
I need to go Home.
NOW.
