Putting to Much Faith in Humanity. Content Warning.
All my life I have always been told I'm naive. For the first time I know I am, all of my spring break I have been working hard to find a job with no luck. Today, my husband wants me to go back to hunting for a job. It's just a pain lately, one disappointment after another. Being mentally tortured by different companies constantly fighting for what I desire. I just need a job long enough to be able to afford a UHaul rental. I just want to leave Cleveland so badly. After getting accepted into Marshall University and going through with the transfer feels like the constantly fighting is draining in the fucking state of Ohio.

The Love Of A Dad and his daughter
I can remember so many memories of my daddy bonding times. My dad wasn't my blood dad, he was my step dad. Nevertheless my dad, he claimed me as his own. For reasons unknown to me Dad had a love for me he didn't show the same for my half sister. I met him when I was five years old. When I asked him "Are you my daddy?" I could see he was scared. Mom was a single parent, so I didn't know who my dad was. As a kid I never thought about that kind of stuff, I just wanted a dad.

My Nostalgic Story. Top Story - February 2024.
As I drive four hours straight I am extremely tired, though I am full of excitement for the next chapter to being. Putting Cleveland behind me, praying for safety and familiarity is important to me.

I used to think writing on Vocal was fun making side cash, I'm almost at 305 or 304 stories is there an incentive nope. There used to be incentives.
