Calibration I’m a poet. I know who I am. I couldn’t say that until recently. It took a lifetime to arrive at this knowing. I've come home to myself. It's a steady feeling—good and right. The most important thing is to feel your emotions. Let them speak. Write from there. Find your steady voice, it’s there. Everyone's journey is deeply unique and personal. My journey was hard as hell, but I made it. I know you can too. It’s possible to calibrate yourself, to become the person you were always meant to be— before all the indoctrination: family, teachers, friends, and of course, trauma, the kind no one seems to escape. Life can be tough, but it is possible, to arrive home inside yourself. And that arrival is gold. © 2026 Sandra Erreca. All rights reserved.
