Requesting the Ultimate Critical Thoughts of Others.
Remembering the life that I led the controlling asshole who took everything from me. I don’t know what I will do with all this, it feels like nothing really mattered just getting out of there. All of my dreams had come true like the blink of an eye, writing my memoirs is what started it all. Finding the courage to leave Logan County, Florida. It wasn’t until Uncle Elijah died the many years of therapy that would follow me all the days of my life.

When Reality Catches Up With You
They say that reality sometimes catches up with us. When we are in bad situations that's when everything we think we know isn't the same. I have been homeless for almost two months in a situation I really don't like. I have been through many different situations in a city that isn't my kind of place to ever life.

What's the Point Of Vocal+
I ask myself this all the time. Vocal has their favourites, the judges seem to always pick those who are their favourites. Now this is a difference in opinion. Is it just me or is it a coincidence that we all seem to see the favourites always winning whereas people like myself if we aren't well known because we are college, or have leaves not creating content all the time. We almost never win a challenge. Seem to have fewer numbers of readers feeling like our voices aren't heard. Now I love Vocal a lot don't get me wrong.

Is It Okay To Defend Yourself if someone Throws the First Punch?
So my experiences haven't been easy at the shelter. This is the ghetto shelter baby, so it's defend yourself or roll over playing the victim. I have been in Cleveland for now almost two months everything is coming together yes. Not without the occasional challenge or roadblock.

All The Things People Take For Granted
We all have limits as to what we can handle. Once you reach that limit it's hard to say what happens. Feels like all I do is work hard applying for job after job. Working so hard without the proper sleep can be very difficult.

What It's Like To Not Have A Voice
It's hard for a survivor witness those who do our significant others wrong. Makes us feel like we have no voice left. We begin to think and feel like are we really survivors? Don't you dare say anything, I feel like our voices are taken from us just woman but a man's to.

Credit Where Credit is Due
So much has been so much that has been going on for the past few weeks. I have been homeless for almost two weeks. Temporarily having a roof over my head at a homeless shelter called Norma Herr. In this experience I wouldn't trade it for the world. It was in this experience seeing the poor unfortunate souls seeing them that changed my world forever.
