Humanity
To whom it may concern
To who it may concern; I have learned many things in my life and have been through many things in my life. My story varies from others just like everyone else and just like everyone else I lived through it. I know mine is not the worst life or experiences as there are so many who have had worse. I have learned not to think of myself as a victim still but that Yes, I was a victim but now I'm a survivor. Life is learning from your experiences your mistakes the trials and so on and choosing how you do so. I know that life does not owe you anything just living is a gift what and how you deal is your choice. The benefits of parents are that they take their experiences and pass their knowledge gratitude and tools to deal with situations down to their children.

A Love Letter toSelf
Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart, and my life. I am continuously working on myself because I have loads of internal issues that I know I need to fix. I am not perfect, but I still wake up every morning with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. I will turn on my music playlist and get jamming for those days that I don’t hear or feel a peace in my heart. In my life, I have had to deal with not only my knots but the knots of others trying to push their will on me, and this is not good.

I Don’t Care
This is a great question because for me, I can sit down and think about what I truly care about right now. First of all it is not worrying about things, situations, and people trying to force themselves on me with their dumb-ass mindsets. I mean don’t get me wrong if you have something worthy of me listening to I do not have a problem in pausing what I am doing to listen. However, if all you can say and do is complain about what is wrong with others instead of taking the time to look and see what you can fix for yourself, then don’t expect me to care.

Welcome to 55
So I have been told I look 42 as well as now in my fifties. Until now, I looked in the mirror and didn't see much wrong with my neck. But I took a selfie not long ago, and OMG, my neck tells my age. It is an awful sight. I can't stand it, so here I am buying firming neck creams and anti-aging devices and doing neck exercises that can't work in any way. All this does not work fast enough! The horrid dips an excess skin the turkey neck going on. I hear embrace getting older while they let their grey grow out, yet i see their beautiful necks and almost flawless faces.

Afraid of Nothing
How can I begin to describe the fear? It takes over your body and doesn’t let you move or breathe. It makes your head spin and brings up every emotion all at once. The fear takes things away from you and says you didn’t want them anyway. You didn’t deserve them anyway. The fear can shapeshift too. It can disguise itself as sadness and make you feel completely alone, shivering in the dampness of the dark. The shadow of fear cast over you is blinding and it muffles your screams, gagging you with thick dread of what lies before you: nothing. Nothing is what you fear most.

Why are you letting yourself feel worthless?
Have you felt that you are worthless or have anyone made you feel that you are good for nothing then this is for you. In life, there are some situations where you need to be selfish in order not to lose yourself forever and it's not bad. The most important thing in anyone's life is self-confidence and it even depends on the people who surround us. Positive people will always help you to develop a positive outlook towards life and negative people will make you and your whole life negative and mostly these people make you feel useless.

Freedom is Wealth
I lost my job a month ago. A month ago I was obsessed over money. I was working 7 days a week, hustling to no end, not enjoying my time besides the occasional get together with my best friend. I spent no time with family even though I lived with them at home.

Chrysalis
The year is 1991 and I live in Kununurra with my husband. Unfortunately, marriage does not suit either of us. We tend to live our own lives, while residing under the same roof, with the exception of when he would get drunk. Then he would take me on an extremely abusive, physically and emotionally, wild roller coaster ride.

Holidays
In December, the weather held out. No big storms. A light dusting of snowfall, gone the next day. I love it here. I am a warm weather person, born in a cold weather country. As one so chronically cold, I'm looking forward to the hot flashes of menopause. Bring on the heat!

Why People Pay Me to Not Bother Them While They Drink Coffee
Why I Charge People to Get Coffee With Me Recently, a startup founder punched me in the face and asked if I wouldn’t mind backing the fuck up and not talking to him while he was trying to enjoy his morning coffee in peace? I was a dickhead in his personal space he explained, and he’d love to continue using my face for punching bag if I kept bothering him.
