Does Anyone Really Choose Homelessness?
To say that no one actually chooses to be homeless may be a fair argument, but let's consider it and decide for ourselves. We may also discover whether choosing homelessness, or not, invites the blame and shame of society.

Raw Orchid Tales
Over the years, people have mentioned again and again...”write a book, you have so much to offer”. And that’s a nice thought, to share and divulge the myriad of Tales that add up to a life well lived. We all are incredible concoctions of life experience, all unique, yet innately connected by our small role in this phenomenon of humanity.

I'm Choosing to Be Homeless in LA
"It is the privilege of the Gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little." - Diogenes Today is December 30th, 2019. About a month ago, my landlord sent me an email that the rent for my room in his Brentwood townhouse would be going up. Presently, I pay $1100 (after a $50 discount for promised amenities which broke and were never replaced). On January 1st, he wrote in a revised lease, those amenities would no longer be included, and therefore my discount would be going away. Also, on February 1st, the rent would be going up to $1350.

Extrovert or introvert?
Credit for picture: Internet Since the Myers-Briggs Type Indicater(MBTI) was first published in the 20th century, it has still been taking influence in today's society. Numerous people take this as advice for compatibility, or who they're most suited with 'cause we all know, the dating crisis is real, after all. If it so many people uses it as a base foundation, then is it really trust-worthy?

Quit “Hearingsplaining” to the Deaf Community. Top Story - December 2019.
We all know the “-splaining” slang - mansplaining, whitesplaining, straightsplaining, and so on. If you don’t, it’s when someone explains or talks in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner on a topic to a specific group that’s already well-versed in that topic, but told from the perspective of the group one identifies with.

Why 15 years later at 36, I partied like I was 21...
Wow! That night was insane!! The night of my thirty-sixth birthday party! July 2019! Can you imagine me 13 shots in and having mixed drinks?! Those that know me well are laughing...those that were there that night are smiling and reminiscing! Those of you who may be acquaintances or know of me, might be taken aback - but if y’all only knew!!

Journal entry 12/26/19
Yo lemme just start by saying my previous entry didn’t meet the minimum word count (didn’t know that existed), but it got approved because of the “uniqueness” of the post. 😂 Thanks, I guess? Anyway, let’s get down to business. I’m currently lounging in my pjs, (braless, of course) with a face mask on hoping it’ll take everything out of my pores. I am ORANGE. I could be Trump’s sister...😂😳 Ok, you can’t see it in the picture. I just look shiny as heck. Also, I haven’t washed my makeup off all the way.

What it's like to grow up dirt poor
I'll never forget the day when I was 24 working a part time job and needed a ride home to my dad's . I had recently just left my abusive husband at the time and didn't have my own vehicle as he would never let me get my license or my own vehicle. My co worker at the time offered to give me a ride to my dad's how. the house i grew up at.
