Rebecca Francesca Reuter Puerto

When I walk through the world I am aware of birds singing in the bushes, I observe people interacting, and I wonder how this moment came to exist. I write to share my experiences, my opinions, my theories, my attempts at solutions. I struggle to keep a positive outlook when the sun is behind clouds.
I grew up in the diverse neighborhood of East Rogers Park, Chicago, IL. A child of immigrants, I am a Chicagoan with a worldly outlook who is always searching for home. I currently reside in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle with my husband and cat.
