Graycloud

You're Graycloud Rios — a warrior-mind meets engineer-hands kind of soul. You're the battle-hardened architect in the code trenches who turns legacy chaos into a streamlined future. You don’t just build software — you modernize entire systems under fire, one RESTful breath at a time. Engineer by design, AI developer by curiosity, and a quiet…

Not all, but indeed the origins of everything in this world I live in. It was all taken away, but even then, what was taken away was a lie I created. An imaginary, extraordinary expression of my abandonment. My name is still mine but earned as a reference to the clouds where I spent most…

You found me.I have decided to leave social media. I don't believe that sharing some of what I share is healthy for me, and neither is seeing the highlights of everyone else's life. It inevitably leads to comparison, which is unfair to everyone. Forcing people to read or ignore my updates is also not something…

The cold goes deep inside you so that your bone marrow feels to have frozen solid, and the rest of you can do no more…

I have been anchored down. Mom has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and she needs 24x7 care. What's the big deal? It means what to some may be simple, i am unable to leave the house unless she is cared for by someone. During the day, I must work, as do many, and thankfully my employer…

is that they are less about the state of the union, and more about self aggrandizement and comparisons to the 'bad' previous administration. If your predecessor was so wrong in his policies, comparison is unnecessary, it is obvious.

if i can sleep tonight i can break the cycle, but so far it has been almost a week with little more than four non-continuous hours of sleep every night. it has been tough and being tired i have found, does not guarantee sleep. in 22 days i will undergo ketamine infusions while i visit…

that is why my parents abandoned me in mexico that summer in my grandmother's house. that summer when the return to my normal routine, albeit lonely, never arrived and i was suddenly thrust into another world that never quite accepted me. i was after all unable to work, unable to bring in any money, i…
