To live in the borderlands

Acknowledgements

I want to thank my «media naranja»(other half) for keeping me sane and not jelling at me when I am freaking out about my assignments and every other thing I have to do.

Thank you to my Romanian vampire, who finds words in my texts, which could have been awkward.

Thank you to Hanna who made me read Drown, which has a narrator that I despised, but then I turned to love the author, and for introducing me to the writings of Gloria Anzaldúa. Gloria Anzaldúa is a great inspiration, as a writer, a feminist and an activist.
