Status Updates From The Hummingbird's Daughter

I understand this is a reflection of the magical realism style very popular in Latin America, but I find the language to be too flowery. Trying too hard to be poetic. Also, it is a direct translation, in many cases, of how one would speak in Spanish. This is fine, but if the story is going to be told in English, there are some parts that would flow better and make more sense if it was just translated fully.
