Patiently Waiting
Relationships whether new or old will take work to make it work. I haven't written in a while because my life feels like it got sucked into a vortex of non-stop craziness. That I could never catch a breath or stop from crying with this whole custody battle. I am forever grateful I made it out of my domestic violence situation because my sister didn't. Many women don't. I have voluntarily remained in trauma counseling and seeing a psychiatrist. They help me heal from it all. Despite all the negative stigmatism from mental help, for me, it truly helps. I fully encourage others to seek that same support if needed. I was deprived of love and affection. When I felt ready to start a relationship I rejected any physical touch, any emotional support, anything good because I didn't know how to embrace it. How to acknowledge that I was allowed something good for once.

I want to become a freelance writer to have the flexibility to travel without having to ask for days off from my 9-5 job, having the experience to gain extra income to pay off my student debts I have while being a junior college student striving to rise as a writer. Writing was never easy from me, in fact it wasnβt even the first steps I took in order to become a writer, nor was it basic language. As a child I was put in mediocre classes, special education programs for I couldnβt communicate with others, I was mute, very quiet to the point I didnβt say my first words such as βmommyβ or βdaddyβ. During those time in my adolescences, my parents didnβt know what to do, they sought out speech therapists, profession doctors in communication disorders from local hospitals, to see how they can improve my levels of speech. As well as I can remember, I just never liked to associate with everyone I wasnβt familiar with, since then itβs been a big effect within my life, your first impression on me will be the last, so youβll have to really be down to earth once you introduce yourself.

The Escape
Being active is a requirement in life. Whether it was sports, cooking lessons, or playing an instrument, every moment, there was something. And once Father Time became more apparent during adolescence, the world kept us busy with drama, war, sex, and obscure views of the truth. A lesser mind would crumble, but for those that pay attention, we escape.

Fifty jobs and counting
Job number 26 was fucking crazy. I worked in a call center around September and October helping people order Halloween costumes online. I used a computer operating system that you would expect to see in the year 1995 and when I worked there it was 2017. The operating system was black and green and white, and super complicated. The company also had really screwed up sizes so everyone kept calling to return their costumes and get bigger sizes and bitch at me for trying to help them out. I got yelled at the closer it was to Halloween and it made me realize why I buy all my costumes at a store so I can attempt to try them on, or just wear a mask and call it good.

Grasping at shards
After eighteen months of covid lock-downs, the delivery of packages of varying sizes, shapes and sense, no longer excites me. For instance, last week I received an electric shaver for de-pilling my lounge chair. It was good to remove all those odd little nubbins and threads that build up over time, but the delivery of the de-piller provoked no joy, neither did the humane mouse traps, which were in fact much more essential.

What's Happening To Me?
There are things going on with me. Iβm not certain what they all are, only that they exist in abundance. I feel that if they donβt stop something in my mind and/or my body may harden forever because itβs so tight. Even if they harden into diamonds, Iβm not sure I will want that.

How COVID-19 Put Society on the Backburner
The past year has been challenging for even the most strong-willed members of society. From hospitality to retail, there has not been one sector that has been unaffected by the pandemic. Arguably, the public sector is one of the most highly impacted.
