Crafting a Life
I've had a life that is full of untapped potential. I was given ingredients I had no way of understanding: pain, turmoil, anger, hate, depression, anxiety and I had no way of knowing how to take these and make something new. I spent a long portion of my life letting these ingredients eat at my core, erode my sense of self until I was lost. I felt hopeless, useless, and without value until I stepped behind the bar one day at work because there is magic in doing things and a particularly powerful type of healing in the magic of doing things for others.

Playing at Being a Writer
As someone who's been writing since high school, it's still hard to justify my "hobby" (because that's what it is, whether I like it or not) to the people around me—especially those who just want me to settle down with a good job that will provide a pension for retirement. Once, I had high aspirations to be a novelist—even the word sounds important—but as the years pass by, I'm becoming disenchanted. It seems that books themselves aren't selling how they once did either. I guess the allure of Netflix is just too strong.

I Want a Job That Doesn't Feel Like a Job
I have been looking for a full-time job since December 2020, and the outlook feels more bleak with each round of applications I send out. Out of well over 200 applications, I have been called for only two interviews thus far. I don't know how many different iterations I've written of a cover letter, but I'm sure those list in the dozens too. I've even tried to format my resume in a plethora of varieties just to spice things up. And this is with having taken Business Writing courses in college.

Snips,for Tin
I like my hands. I like my hands even more when there are a very special kind of scissors in my fingers grip, that I still have all five fingers on both hands are still miraculously intact, especially after over 40 years of working. Tools are the extension of our Bodies, that sometimes just don't have the strength to do what we set out to do. We have come a long way from the dark ages when the guillotine was invented and used to decapitate our fellow believers, by putting the shears of the Blades in the stocks to a positive, comfort bringing to the houses, offices Recreation fitness centres and shops we work worship, play, shop, learn and live in! These scissors are the tin snips, that still employ the shearing action of their cloth or paper cutting contemporaries! They are an extension of mine and others hands, allowing my eyes to guide my fingers and hands cutting left red, or right green handles, yellow for both, and the bigger ,heavier bull snips for up to 26 gauge metal sheeting, in a true straight line, along ascribed line on the tin being cut!
