Well, I said that I was going to actively blog, but that didn’t happen. Too many emotions with too many thoughts cause an urge to not write. Too much to say and didn’t know where to begin. I still don’t have the urge to write but I need to.
I quit that job that made me so miserable. It was so freeing to actually say, “unfortunately I cannot work here past Friday.” Typically. I give a months notice because, in my opinion, jobs need that time to find someone truly worthy. The turnover rates for these minimum wage jobs are horrible. Half of these training classes don’t even work a first real day. I’ve seen it and done it. I worked st McDonald’s once for two weeks. Just to get a check to get me to my next seasonal job. Did not feel sorry about it either. I’ve also had people abruptly quit and make my own job much harder. Anyways, I left that job, with no prospects no nothing. Just the money I saved in my pocket and my bus tickets bought to get me home to Cali. $300 in shipping almost killed me 😩 I spent my last few days on the East Coast with my bestfriend sister cousin and said my goodbyes to a place I will not go back to.
I had so much to say about that job that I took the emails of the owners to give them my own personal “Exit Interview.” They needed to know what was going on in their establishment and I was going to tell them! Here it is a whole five months later and I still haven’t written it. Fuck them! If they want to know what’s going on so bad they need to go in their and see it for their fuckin’ selves. How tf do you run a business and are never there?!?! 😑
I digress, back to the point. It’s August and my niece will be four months in a little over a day. She smiles all the time and she loves trap music. The toddler is satan, but I love her so much. Her smile is creepy AF but somehow the most beautiful thing ever. My nephew is just growing and getting smarter. He’s so shy but so nosey lol.
I did fail the three classes I was taking, but I’m not sad about it. I would rather live life, than stress myself over something trivial like classes.
I adopted a chihuahua mix and named him Sir Goldberg Waffles Rick Flair Drip Go Woo On A Bitch Bonilla.
He has the best personality on him. He has so much energy and he really loves all of ys. He does suffer from seperation anxiety but he was three months old and a stray when I adopted him. He’s had a “ruff” start in this life. We work with him and show him so much love. He was the best decision I made on this healing journey. He absolutely helps with my anxiety. His breath smells bad but his kisses are the best.
I got to spend my brother’s birthday with him for the first time in our adult lives. That was so exciting and all we did was drink responsibly. Definitely a couple blunts rolled, but that’s a regular day for us.
My sister in law cooked some bomb ass food and she made him a boobie cake
It was a chocolate mousse filled marble cake. Amazing!
Six days later was my birthday and I spent the day at the DMV.
I got my license back!!! It’s been seven years since I’ve had it. A mistake was made and I have been paying for it in many ways. To have my license back to me is a freedom I once told myself was impossible to have. How could I afford to pay restitution if I couldn’t even afford to feed myself? Or keep a roof over my own head? Seven years later though, and I did it! Believe me when I say it’s been a long road. I’ve done so much to get ahead and got knocked back even further. Lost people. Gained people. Depressed and oppressed myself on this journey. It all seems so worth it now.
I do feel a little discouraged at times because now that I have a license, I need a car. That process is horrible when you’re poor and jobless. Private sellers are liars and still trying to get lot prices for beat up cars. Lots want you to have a job and out here you need a car to get a job. It’s a vicious cycle.
I will not let it bring me down though! I’ve come very far on this healing path and I refuse to relapse.
I mentioned my classes earlier and I would like to elaborate by saying that I am retaking those classes. I start on the 23rd of this month. Not super excited about it, but I know I can do better.
On the whole, life is good. I’m just taking it minute by minute. Whatever happens, happens. No more stress on me. Every day I wake up is a blessed day.
I’m not going to end this by saying I’ll be back with an update or “I’m really going to actively blog this time,” because I just can’t make that promise. I don’t know where I’m going. I stopped planning it stresses me out and makes me so anxious. Fuck all that. Happy is the way to be!
I hope that anyone who reads this is having a blessed and joyous day. If you aren’t, please hear me when I tell you, it’s not worth it. Let go and let your deity deal with it. Don’t breed negativity, produce positivity. Be the change you want to see. You have the power in your words. You got this! Keep going! And in case no one told you today I love you 💚 you’re so special and worth it 💜
