To be honest, I don't know a d*mn thing. I used to love writing, so I'm just trying to find my way back into that love.

Dear Ex-Bestfriend
I’m sorry. This is not how I thought our story would unfold. Some days I feel as if I threw away fifteen years of friendship over nothing, but that’s not the truth. The truth is that we outgrew our friendship. I’m not here to blame anyone. We both had and still have our faults. We both are guilty of making mistakes and we’re both too stubborn to say we’re sorry. I’ve tried to reach out. I thought we could patch things up. I wanted to keep you in my life, I just needed a little time away from us. The last time we spoke broke my heart. I know you’re hurt but I don’t know what else you want from me. I had to end it there to protect both of our hearts. I’m sorry I blocked you, online and in real life. It was better for us both. I still check up on you even though I know I shouldn’t. I can’t help but still love you and I want to cheer you on from the sidelines. But these last pictures I saw of you did something to me.

I Joined The Great Resignation, Do I Regret It?
I never finished college. I have in total about three years under my belt but never crossed that finish line to graduation. I knew that to find a decent-paying job, I would have to hustle or have some connections. So I chose to hustle. And for the past eleven years, I have been through my share of jobs hoping to eventually find something that ignited some sort of passion within me. All I ended up finding was what would come easy to me, and that was restaurant work. I loved the fast-paced atmosphere of working in a kitchen. I loved seeing meals and dishes come together after putting in the physically hard work. I hated everything else about it. The standing on my feet for up to fourteen hours a day, many times without more than a ten-minute break to shove any form of nutrients into my body, and maybe, if I was lucky enough, I’d even grab a sip of water too. Always working weekends and every holiday except for Christmas Day and Thanksgiving. Those guests who truly believed with every fiber in their being that the customer is always right no matter what. Nevertheless, I carried on and worked my way up.

What Nobody Tells You About Not Having Kids
Unlike most of those around me, including those closest to me like my sister and my best friend, I have never dreamed of having kids. I mean sure, the thought has come up a few times over the years, more so now that I am beginning the early thirties chapter of my life. But to be completely honest, having a child seems like one of the worst possible things that could happen to me. Of course, when I tell people that children are not in my future they often come back with the cliche “ you’ll end up changing your mind” response. But after nearly 31 years I have yet to change my mind and I highly doubt that I ever will. Lucky for me, I have plenty of women in my life who dream of having multiple children which means my world won’t end up being completely childless. In fact, my basically-sister-in-law just had her first baby and I can not wait to visit and meet the sweet girl. Now there’s a vast multitude of articles, books, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc., that cover the topic of being a mother. But there seems to be a severe lack of pieces covering the topic of not being a mother. Now, I still consider myself to be young even though my body tells me otherwise. And I know that I still have much left to learn. However, I will pass on the things that I have learned so far that no one seems to tell you about choosing to not have kids.
