What Does It Mean To Be Free???
I was standing on the medium in the middle of the street waiting patiently for the red light to change, for a slight second I began to day dream until I heard a man singing passionately .... his window was rolled down, and for a quick second I thought to myself he has no idea how free he is. Why did I make this assumption based purely off a brief moment knowing nothing about his life's experiences? Well I was waiting to cross the street toting a bag with a plastic container previously purchased at Dollar Tree filled with hot water I got at the Quik Trip gas station. The hot water was used to bathe with ... you see I'm homeless living out of my storage unit and the door locks at 10pm so in order for me to wash my body I had to walk 5-7 mins to local store so usually I'm in a hurry to cross the street depending upon traffic, fill up my container and make it back before the door locks. This is an everyday routine along with sitting at Panera as I am doing at this very moment utilizing the internet to apply for jobs, assistance, write etc. Fast forward, on pure FAITH I relocated to another state knowing no one and I didn't have a job set in place cause I honestly didn't think it would be difficult attaining one once I arrived. Again, pure FAITH. So far I've been here three months going on four, once the money ran out staying at an hotel I had no choice but to think fast and come up with a solution so I wouldn't be sleeping outside especially due to frigid weather. Pause! When I see this man pull up singing all I can think is he's soooooooo free and he has no idea how bound I felt especially standing in that particular moment. I walked across the street while the tears fell. My heart was filled with grief just the experience being homeless and having to survive every minute of every second of every day. It can be traumatizing if you're not mentally stable enough to grasp the struggles of it all. You see, it was a Friday or Saturday night honestly I couldn't remember because I feel like I'm just existing not living so my days & time tend to run together. As I walked back to my storage unit I cried out to GOD praying emotions all over the place just in turmoil with my entire life. I stepped out on FAITH to work in outreach to assist people in this exact place in their life, and here I was actually living it. I know it's crazy to imagine a plan you had set to turn out being the exact opposite of what you originally set out to do but that's life and what the journey is all about.

My Sister
Hi, I'm new to Vocal Media, it's crazy I've seen so many of the sponsored ads on Instagram and would save them in my inbox to later go back to see what this particular platform is all about. It has literally been months, but recently I'd see them consistently and I knew the UNIVERSE was speaking directly to me so here I am.
