Así Nací
Story Behind the Song
"Así Nací" (This Is How I Was Born) is one of the clearest statements of self in my catalog, a song about identity, authenticity, and the boundaries you draw to protect your peace.
My truth was never a choice. It is as plain and as necessary as the air I breathe, something I knew about myself before I could even speak. I learned to walk and to find my own value while carrying the judgment and the pain that came at me young, including in the schoolyard, and I came out the other side still myself.
Part of the song speaks to people from my past who try to step back into my life now. I hold no hatred for anyone, but I have moved on, and I choose my peace and my distance over relationships that were only ever on the surface. I built my own life and chose my own family, and I will not apologize or explain for living with heart and freedom.
So this is me, head held high, true to how I was born and free in who I am. The message is for anyone who has been told they were too much or not enough, you were not a mistake. This is how you were born, and that is enough.
