We've all written letters about what our time together
on On My Block has meant.
So, who wants to go first?
- Not me. - Not me.
“Saying goodbye seems strange,
because working with you again is a given.
So, until next time,
I want you to remember
to be kind to yourself,
because your work shines when you are.
Take the time to breathe.
Any character or career choice can wait on you for a moment.
And enjoy yourself,
remember that you're good at what you do,
and what you do is fun.
We've grown so much as people and performers on the show,
and in that time,
so has my love and respect for you.
I'm in constant awe of how far you've all come.
And I can't wait to see how far you'll all go.
Much love and respect always,
Julio Macias.
Julio.
- I can't do this. - Well, now I need a pen.
I'll go because I don't think
I'm going to make it through this whole thing.
Oh my God.
Mami.
“Dear cast of On My Block,
it hurts my heart writing this letter
because it's slowly hitting me
that I won't be Jasmin anymore.
Though she's been such a ray of light in my life,
the greatest gift this show
has given me was y'all.
From the first day together,
I knew this group was special,
but I didn't know then that y'all
would become my family so quickly.
Having y'all by my side at my wedding
is still one of my favorite memories
that I cherish every day.
I have a very small family,
and y'all were the siblings I always dreamed of having.
The show is over,
but our individual chapters are only just beginning.
I am in constant awe of your
grace and your talents.
And know that the world
has only seen a morsel
of what y'all are capable of.
I pray y'all never stop believing in yourselves,
regardless of how much this industry wants
people who look like us to.
I am always here to be a shoulder for you 24/7.
When y'all become even bigger stars,
know that I'm also here to ride your coattails
all the way to the top.
But all jokes aside, it breaks my heart knowing
that I won't be able to argue with Jamal anymore.
Have deep conversations with Monse,
or dance with Ruby again.
But I'm so blessed to have gone on this ride with y'all,
and be a part of an even more important Core More.
Because I get to spend the rest of my life
going on adventures with
Sierra, Julio, Brett, Jason, and Diego.
I love y'all so much,
and thank you for letting this old bitch hang with y'all.”
- Aw, baby. - We love you, Jess.
I love you, we love you so much.
That was so beautiful, oh my goodness.
- We love you Jess. - We love you Jess.
I love you guys.
“To my amazing cast,
and family,
you were all an absolute joy to work with.
Every day, waking up,
and going to work,
it felt like being a little kid on Christmas morning,
filled with pure excitement.
I will always thank God
for putting such amazing,
kindhearted, and talented
people in my life.
People who have taught me tons,
have shown me continuous love and support,
and have helped me grow, not only as an artist,
but as a person.
Our memories together, on and off screen,
will always go down as some of the best times in my life.
From our first chemistry read together,
to our first day on set,
I'll never forget hanging out at
all your wild Airbnb’s for a season.
Like the DTLA one when
y'all had no AC in the middle of summer.
From our first press junket in New York,
down to Jessica's gorgeous wedding,
the many adventures and experiences we've gone through
together will always live in a special place in my heart.
I love you guys so f-ing much,
and I truly wish you all
nothing but happiness,
good health, success,
and,
just blessings in your future.
This might be the end of our beautiful little show,
but we'll always be family.
Hoy, mañana, y siempre.”
- Siempre. - Siempre.
Love you.
- I love you, dude. - I love you, D.
I love you guys.
For real.
All right, I guess I'll go.
Ah, hell.
Nobody look at me.
“Thank you all so much
for five years of fun,
family,
art,
and memories.
Being a part of this with you all
has been the greatest
honor of my life, so far.
I've always wanted my dreams to come true,
and even what I had in my head wasn't enough.
What I got was more than a dream.
It was better than a goal.
It was real and it was true.
I want us all to not ever forget
the impact these characters, turn around,
have had on me and the world.
The people we've given voices to.
The children who know their
dream can be true too,
because they've seen you all do it.
Enjoy this all.
Take all of these experiences with you.
I love y'all so much,
and thank you again for being a part of my dream,
and thank you for having me be a part of yours.”
Love you, B.
Love you guys.
- Go ahead, J, you got it. - Oh God.
“Dear OMB cast,
thank you for being the greatest cast one could ask for.
Thank you each for making an experience,
that felt like a dream in itself,
to a kid from Jersey, and turning it into
one of the happiest times of my life.
You made it real, and you made it home.
To the cast, I'll see you later.
And to Ruby, thank you, and goodbye.”
I miss Ruby.
Oh God, okay.
Last, but not least.
“To my cast of On My Block, AKA, mi familia,
I love you guys more than you know.
Words can't describe how proud I am
of your courage, resilience,
and determination.
We've been through a lot over these past five years,
and we can all agree, it's been a blessing and a lesson.
But I can't imagine anyone else
playing these iconic characters, not only in On My Block,
but in my life.
We'll be the core more forever.
You all are my heart, and from the very bottom of it,
I say, thank you.
You all are superstars and one of a kind artists.
Thank you for always being there for me,
even when I wasn't always there for myself.
And, as many times as we've asked each other
what the ending of our show will feel like,
it's a feeling that, obviously, is indescribable
because every time we talk about it, it's hard.
But, you guys,
if you didn't know by now,
and by the end of this letter,
you all are my heart.”
Love you, Sierra.
- Love you. - Love you.
We had something so awesome with this show.
And our show was, kind of like,
the little engine that could,
-Uh huh. - it felt like. No one knew what to expect.
We made this our own,
and we gave it life, and we've all grown so much.
And I think that the fans feel it.
Thank you.
- Oh my god, the fans. - Thank you, yo.
Thank you guys for changing our lives.
If it wasn't for you, all sharing it,
and telling all of your friends and family to watch us,
we would not have had a season two without y'all.
Like, let alone a season four.
You're just amazing.
Well, I mean, we done did everything else, why not?
- Jessica you smell good. - Aw, thank you.
Three, two, one, Core More!
