: About Me

Hello everyone, my name is Christian Rios and I'm a young inspiring writer. Being creative with my words, thoughts and ideas has always been a passion of mine, especially when i can put it on paper or publish my work. I've always been told that I had a talent when it came to poetry, writing and literacy in general. I'm so happy to see many other inspiring writers out there and such supporting websites and organizations such as helium to let us all explore with our imaginations. My goal is to be recognized by many, especially those who can offer me opportunities with my art and my work. Poetry, I believe, is freedom of expression and a way of life. Many of us find it hard to express ourselves very generally, but when it's in poetic fashion, it really brings the beauty of the situation to the table. My father is Colombian and my mother is Argentinian and I also live, love and breathe soccer, but also love playing many other sports such as basketball, football and baseball. I stay fit and love to work out on a regular basis. My life at the moment is a little bumpy but I hope to find the missing pieces of the puzzle and get my life back on track. Poetry is my way of releasing any thoughts, ideas and even emotions. Hope you all enjoy and good luck to all!

It's a question that nobody gets to ask because we are all in the same state, mentally, physically and probably even emotionally; how to get over New Years partying, and yes I did include myself in this group. It's not a question to ask in the aftermath of the party, but better yet a question in which one must ask days prior to the festive day we call New Years Eve. That's right, proactive planning to a quick and easy recovery from a night that we'd all like to remember, but probably don't. It's actually pretty simple if you have time to plan for January 1st in between all the party planni...
