What Should I Write?
Introduction I haven’t written anything about writing and creation recently, and I have been told that I am lazy and my writing is rubbish and I post too much so nobody reads my posts. These have all been put forward as constructive criticism that I should take notice of.

Current State of Things
Let my tombstone read “I tried” when I die/ That means I did my best in my eyes before my demise/ Did everything that I could, within my power to succeed, go up like a dick and rise/ Gave it my all, so they’ll be no regrets in the grave where I’ll lie/ But the fact remains I’m still alive/ Doing everything I can to make ends meet with a strong will to survive/ Gotta put food on the table for my two kids/ So I work 9 to 5 to provide, making sure I do this/ No excuse when it comes to raising children, no loose ends/ Trying to make passive income and build my own kingdom, as I pursue this/ See, I learned the hard way in this life that there’s no true friends/ It’s either you persevere or you don’t, don’t be clueless/ If you don’t check on me, hit me up or care for me now, don’t if I’m no more/ I don’t pretend to be something I’m not, so I won’t go hardcore/ Other than being a man and handling my business, why would I act hard for?/ Married life ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, but I manage it/ You can’t be as you once were, a bachelor, and no true freedom, that’s the disadvantages/ But you get someone you can spend the rest of your life with/ And fact of the matter is that’s priceless/ Life’s kicking my butt like crazy/ Demanding that I make more money/ On a never ending search for cash, finding ways to prevent being bummy/ Rent taking away most of what I earn/ That counted money is limited, it goes like calories I burn/ See the reality is earned money is old and it keeps you broke, that’s what I learned/ One must strive for multiple streams of income/ One must be an entrepreneur, be business minded , no one’s at fault but you, I need some wisdom/ I acquire it as the years go by, so I’m pleased to know where it stems from/ Paying bills endlessly like I owe the system/ Well, utilities are based on my usage, I know, but it’ll still show I’m pissed son/ Taxes are taken out your pay check before you get it/ I don’t even bother to look at the gross because I can’t spend it, and that’s so upsetting/ When you use your card and it declines/ You’re tempted to go hard and try several times/ As you do, what you’re trying to buy still don’t get paid for/ People around looking at you funny, it becomes embarrassing, know the feeling? I’ll say no more/ It’s frustrating, like life itself when you’re struggling/ It feels everything be falling apart sometimes, kinda like cookies crumbling/ I try to keep my head up and not get fed up/ But it’s easier said than done in actuality, but when you fall get up/ Stressful nights at work slaving for Amazon/ Coping with it, it’s amazing how I keeping going on and on/ Best job I ever had, so I keep racing to it when it’s time to leave home, am I wrong?/ I believe they’re better days ahead/ So until then I’ll storm the weather and get this bread/ Dad is gone forever, won’t ever forget his effort/ He did a lot for me, true story, most definitely, word!/ He was the heart of the Ardey family, make no mistake/ He held it down until old age caught up with em, taking no breaks/ He was fearless, bold, he loved life and love God/

Please Stop Complaining About Student Loan Forgiveness
Picture: Unsplash, Honey Yanibel Minaya Cruz Think Twice Before You Complain In almost every corner, I’m finding complaints about student loan forgiveness. People on my Facebook feed seem to think their ideas on student loans are worth an audience (they’re not). Even though President Joe Biden has announced that college students will receive $10,000 in loan forgiveness and Pell Grant recipients will receive another $10,000, no one has been granted this yet. Those who would be relieved to have this cancellation are hoping this promise won’t be a fairy tale.

Stress Is Fuel For Growth, Greater Happiness, And Accelerated Success
The youngest heavyweight in the world boxing champion Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody Has a Plan Until You Get Punched in The Face”. The way I interpret this statement is that we have all gone through periods of success, and high confidence forgetting where we came from. And we all experienced levels of failures, setbacks, or injustices. What I am going to argue in this short piece, is that some of life’s setbacks can be turned to our advantage, converting the stress into mental fitness and abundance. I will also argue that most of the pain we experience is self-inflicted as we focus on the negatives and generate a lot of unnecessary noise and unrealistic deadlines.

CONFESSIONS TO THE MOON
-I’m not rotten!- Or at least that is what I repeat to myself every day when stalking at my face in the mirror. My face, ja, I can see it now while staring at the water on my backyard pool, it is just me and the moon, and I'm getting nostalgic. My face has changed so much since I experience my first betrayal, but I'll not entertained that idea or I'll lost what little mental peace I can summon right now and don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

My Life Is My Own
I find myself in my mid-fifties wondering how to do some basic things and what I should really do with my life. I know it sounds absurd but I have come to realize that there has not been a time that I got to truly lead my life and be who I really am. And therein lies the beauty and the storm of my current existence.

Perfectly imperfect me
It’s sad that today people would instead use ignorance or that little block button when confronted with the truth. That they would instead take offense to what is being said instead of seeing the reality of the facts laid before them. When did our world become so broken that a man can not admit his true intentions but would rather shrug it off like it doesn’t even exist? It is true what they say, “ignorance is bliss.” Come on people let us make a change because we all know it takes a real man to admit his sins and it takes an even stronger to confess those sins proudly for all to see…. Here I am I am not perfect, and I never claim to be I make mistakes, but I learn from them I am proud of my sins because without them I would be naïve but with them, I am nothing more than human. I proudly admit my wrongs, I have been hurt just as much as I have hurt others. I am not proud of everything I have done to others, but I am proud of the man they have helped me because each sin I have committed has made me strong from the lessons I learned from there consequences and as I stand before you today I would be nothing without them because without the bad the good would not feel satisfying without guilt you cannot understand pain and without that pain and sadness how can we truly know happiness. I am me flawed yet perfect in my own way. I will always stand for what I Believe in because my pain has taught me strength and my tears have shown me strength. I will always proudly and Undoubtably be me no matter what sins of the future come my way

Invasion of Privacy
My husband and I had been taking a shower while everyone was still home. I haven't been feeling the best so far this morning. So while we were showering my mother in-law is watching us. There was a darkness in her that I never saw. She almost looked angry while watching us.
