English as a body armor

I am guatemalan,
I was born in Guatemala City, in Central America in 1990.
My parrents both speak spanish,
and my last name is Sánchez 
a classic hispanic name :)

I am proud of my etnic background,
I can speak two languages almost perfectly.


I feel much more comfortable speaking in english,
because it's not my first language,
it's not because I'm being a suck up, and I'm trying to let everyone know I can speak english,
it is actually easier to express yourself (or at least it is to me) in other language,
I find english beautiful,
I love the way words mix together to make a sentence, and the way it sounds.


English is my body armor,
because it is easier to say
I love you than te amo or te quiero
I don't feel comfortable whatsoever to express my feelings,
I like keeping them to myself,
english helps me that way.
