Humanity

My Upstairs Neighbors
We’ve all had/have them or maybe you are them. They’re annoying and inconsiderate and probably are terrible human beings. You know who I’m talking about y’all…the upstairs neighbor. They are a boil on the ass that is apartment living. Why do they choose between the hours of 10pm-1 am to be the biggest d-heads on the planet? Are you dragging a body up there sir? Why are you vacuuming when you have hardwood floor, ma’am? Why is a rave going on in your apartment at 9pm on a Tuesday? Why are we practicing to be in Wrestlemania at 11:30 at night? Why did you buy bricks for shoes? Why am I watching Fear Thy Neighbor on Discovery+? That’s a true crime series about people who murder their neighbors because they just couldn’t take it anymore. Now I do not condone murder in any way but sometimes I gotta tell y’all, I understand the rage.

We can be better than our past
I grew up in a world where one parent was angry, and the other was submissive. I grew up in fear. My mother constantly being beaten and my father blaming her for his anger. She now resides with me.

Why I don’t believe in a work-life balance.
It implies that our work and our lives are two separate entities. Which they are not. Those hours you spend at work each day comprise a gigantic chunk of your life. If you are not happy at work, you are not only wasting your career, you are wasting your life. Those are just the facts.

Time is like a River
Time is like a River, it only flows in one direction but there are some things in life that are not and that is what is called life's rhythm or pattern or circle. It's called the relationship of the tide, the ripple effect.

The Joy of Writing
Alone, in an ocean of great content During the pandemic, I was lucky enough not to lose my job, the only major impact was staying home all day. I then realized how much time was available to me by cutting out all my trips to work, restaurants, bars etc… All those years of saying "I'd like to do this, do that, but I don't have time…", that excuse was worthless! And as a creative person, I had a world of possibilities at my fingertips, learning how to paint? 3D creation? It was a great feeling that soon turned into huge anxiety.

KICKBOXING MY WAY THROUGH LIFE
Did I just invest in myself 680 dollars for 35 kickboxing classes? You bet your ass I did. I have been disgustingly sick of going to the gym - I seriously hate working out solo. Classes are just 10 times more fun and motivating for me. I have always been motivated by money, and classes are no different in my eyes.

The Ernest Hemingway Challenge
I first read about this challenge a few days ago while reading a story: One of Hemingway's Most Powerful Stories Was Just Six Words. It was the inspiration for my story.

My Mental Illness
Let me start by saying I am no psychologist or psychiatrist I am a person who suffers from Dissociative Amnesia as one of my many diagnosis's. As with other people who suffer from mental illness I have multiple diagnosis's. It is hard to tell one from the other in my perspective but I am going to try to put this in perspective for those who are interested from a sufferers point of view.

I Lost 91 Dollars Because of Mercari
In the past, I tried to sell some old comic books online using the Letgo app. Unfortunately, I didn't sell anything and spent the majority of my time on that app blocking and reporting users. One man sent me a message to tell me he'd been in prison for ten years and thought I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Another man asked me if he could smell my feet. It was disturbing, and I wanted nothing more to do with the app, so I just kept my comic books.

Ten Reasons Why Literature Is Better Than Music
1. Formats It is very easy to sit back and open up an old paperback or a hardcover book and enjoy it. It is not so easy to do the same with old technology. It demands constant updating. To wear an old orange-foam headset plugged into an original tape-only Sony Walkman and expect to be treated fairly in a world of iPods and various other shrunken portable devices is a sad dream. The humiliation of not being up to date with your technology is immediate and palpable.

A Life Lesson from a Broken Fingernail
When I was in the university and around 22 years of age, I spotted a colleague of mine crying. I asked her about the reason for her anguish and she told me it was because she has broken one of her fingernails. I questioned if she was in physical pain, but she was not, only the far end of her fingernail was broken and she was crying because her fingernail polish is ruined and it doesn’t look pretty anymore.
