I, Cecy Juárez, am one of the three “squirrels of U.Va.” running the @thesquirrelsofuva page.
I encourage you to be confident that you are on the right path — your own track — and pursue the love that blends seamlessly with the rest of your desires and ambitions.
Whether you’re hoping to do some healing and restoration like me or just want something fun to do, being outdoors is a great way to spend some time during the summer.
Don't sacrifice what makes you excitingly individualistic in the chase of approval, as this could lead to a relationship in which you feel suppressed and unfulfilled.
It is often difficult to distinguish between living for others and living for oneself, and the guilt that comes with that distinction has proven crippling in some of my own life experiences.
Allowing myself to fall in love with everyday things has completely transformed my outlook on life — I am able to appreciate the little things that make living worthwhile.
There’s something so therapeutic about getting every thought in your head out — the release is almost euphoric.
Although I was excited to explore and learn more about the great outdoors, I didn’t know how I would cope with the increasing presence of climate change in my everyday life.

My first mid-rehearsal writing was composed in the margins of “Jupiter” in Holst’s seven-movement Planets suite.
While an obsession with stickers may seem childish, it is very real among us “young adults.”
If cooking were a religion, my mother’s family would be its most dedicated worshippers.
My friends all seemed to have great summers ahead of them. My plans, however, were mostly up in the air.
Two things started July 6 — #1 Midsummers and #2 Me being 21.
Things that once bothered me and suffocated me about this place I now appreciate the most.
There’s lots of tickling, lots of tag or hide-and-go-seek, and so many “let’s pretend” scenarios — so many.
