No one will read your book
After I completed my first novel, I had dreams of a beautiful black book, its ivory pages sewn into the binding, the title embossed in gold leaf, a single red ribbon denoting the place where a reader might pause in their reading, adrift in another world.

No One Cares if You Hate Your Job. Just Work.
If I had a dollar for every time I said I hated my job, I could retire. And live in a mansion. On Mars. My fucking hate current job. I often go to bed with a knot in my stomach Sunday through Thursday night. I sometimes wake up with chest pains, nausea, or both. I don’t sleep well or long enough to feel rested, so each day, I’m working on a growing sleep deficit.

What... like it's hard?
It was 2008, I was sitting in my therapist’s office one night after school. My Mom made me start coming here after she and my dad told us they were getting a divorce. Really, I wasn’t surprised, they had a volatile relationship with a lot of yelling on one end (Dad) and a lot of silence and resentment on the other (Mom). Nonetheless, they started going to a couple’s counselor who suggested they bring us kids to see someone as well. My therapist and I talked about a lot of stuff including my boyfriend, parents, the divorce, but mostly school and college. I knew from as far back as I can remember that I wanted to go to college. My Mom is from Newfoundland, Canada and my dad is from Athens, Greece. They met in Florida (it’s a long story) where my mom went to Nursing school and my dad got his AA at a Junior College. Neither of them really pushed college, but they did push hard work and education in general. I love reading and writing because of that (and my Grandparents) so I ended up going to magnet school programs and becoming friends with other kids whose parents prioritized school as well. We all wanted to go to college. We were all going to college. It was a fact, not an option. Also, if you’ve ever watched Gilmore Girls or Legally Blonde you would know that the ultimate goal is Harvard or Yale. What... like it’s hard?

Security is an essential part of modern life. It's not just something you might need when there's a bank robbery or someone breaks into your house, it is the difference between stability and chaos in our cities, towns and neighborhoods
