Life's Journey
Hi. Whoever you are. My name is Journey, and well life, it has not been an easy one. Have you ever opened your eyes in the morning and wished that you had not? Wishing that somehow, some way this weight on your chest could be lifted. Nothing against God or the beauty in this world, but how torturous it is to walk by beauty every day and feel so disconnected from it. Why did God place me in a world so beautiful only to make me a spectator? Sometimes I wonder if God even knows me. If at some point, there was no point in believing in me. I know that sometimes I would do nothing but lay under the covers for days straight or be incapable of stopping these ridiculous tears that just stream with no history. I could go days without bathing. I would want to be clean, but would be so tired, it would take hours just to get up. Tired from the soul out. I wonder if that is why God may have grown tired of me? I hate to burden you with my endless pool of misery. It is my own and everyone has a story. I am inviting you to mine. How I ended up here writing in this journal that Miss Johnnie gave me. She calls them letters to your future self. Self? I do not even know who I am anymore.

The Pitch
"Where is my notebook?" I cried. "What notebook?" my husband asked as I frantically raced from room to room, toppling over children's books in my search. "My black notebook for work.” I gritted out, frustrated that he could be so clueless. Of course, it's that one, it's the only one I have that's black that I use everyday. It's like he doesn't even live here. "I dunno" he said noncommittally and walked back down the stairs to continue working at his den room computer.

La Deriva
This is an annotated transcript of the notes I jotted in my moleskin notebook over the course of the last three years. New paragraphs indicate different times throughout the day I was inspired to write my inner monologue. I’ve added nothing to the original text; what you are about to read is what you would’ve encountered had the book slipped out of my pocket on the bus and you decided to amuse yourself with the abstract reality of a stranger.

When the Growing is Easy
Today, my pandemic porch garden finally sprouted. To be fair, it's not so much a garden as it is a thin layer of dirt mixed with rocks mixed with the discarded bottle caps of residents past. Scratch down half an inch and you'll find concrete. It's an unfortunate bald spot on the front porch of my apartment.

One Decision Can Change Your Life for Forever
From the moment I walked into the store, I had sensory overload that I didn’t know if I walked into a bookstore or a garage sale. The lights were bright and color was everywhere, and the piping hot chai latte I was holding in my right hand waiting for it to cool off so I could at least sip the taste of deliciousness wasn’t helping me calm down either. I felt lost, completely alone and overwhelmed with the direction my life was headed, and I thought coming here would at least be a good starting point on where to go next. Oops, guess I was wrong about that.
