Amar, your writing thrives in this style. It’s music essay and memoir and a little bit of coming of age all enveloped in one piece. Lead with this in your writing. It’s so good. Vulnerability and real life reflections flow easily. It’s super relatable.
Loved this: In this life that constantly demands you to move on to the next thing, it’s essential to make space for the stillness of a moment.

Elevation Notes: Whatever documentaries or interviews you’ve seen about Juan Gabriel. Watch them again. Bring the details and life/history facts from them into this piece. They will tether this piece to his life and yours. Bring the colors from his outfits into the piece and the colors you feel most alive in. Expand the piece before you do any edits.
