Even though this piece was produced several years ago, the story told is both intriguing and timeless. In this piece, Catalina Puente shares a very raw experience about lusting after someone that she barely knows. It is such a personal and delicate story that you almost feel as if you are reading from her diary. As someone who has had her fair share of crushes (and does not like to remember the behavior that goes with them), I admire Puente for her ability to reflect on such a confusing experience and to share this story with us.
This is a story that definitely resonates! It not only sheds lights on our contemporary relationship with pop culture, but it also shows how love can transcend gender and sex. I would love to hear this story as a part of a series that showcases queer youth of color.
