Creating My Happiness
Tabularasa or blank slate, that's how most of us enter this world. Interplay with life adds layers to lives. In short, my life is like those of others. Yet, I take inspiration from the most unusual source; the scissors!

Do not know
I have been wondering what to write about. So many things I'm interested in I could have written a poem about color, but I didn't even though my favorite color is blue. I could write about video games like Pokemon or animal crossing ect..... I have a lot of games to choose from.

Things Haven't Always Been Easy
Life is not easy Things haven't always been easy. I guess you could say now is an easier time than others, but it's still not an ideal situation for anyone. I've lived this way now for about 2 years, going on 3. I used to be depressed about it, sad… but now I accept it. I kind of like it, the freedom, not answering to anyone. But it's not what I want forever. I left when I was 16, not long after my birthday. I needed out. Needed a change. I couldn't handle my life there anymore. Who knew it wasn’t the easy way. I thought I had it so hard. You live and you learn right? I burnt my bridges, burnt them all the way down to ashes, there is no going back. Whoever coined the phrase “no regrets” didn't do anything stupid in their life, or just had no conscious to make them feel like shit later.

Here Are The Scissors
In March of 2020 I had $50 left to my name after I lost my job without a glance into the future of my finances and bought 3 weeks worth of groceries. The last $50 I had went to Blick. I purchased a large linocut, one tub of white speedball fabric ink, a rubber brayer, and a linoleum carving tool. I had the intentions of using said tools with some leftover fabric scraps to make patches to sell on the internet to get by. I carved a small alligator on a skateboard and made only one print. I didn't realize it at the time, but all of my stay at home interests came to a halt about a week after I made that one print.

My Dream Job is No Job At All
I’m 24 years old. For nearly four years I had been working part-time in retail until I was made redundant and the experiences I had whilst working in retail still haunt me to this day. For nearly three years I have been working 9–5 like the vast majority of the world population. It’s been fun, both have their pros and cons, I’ve learned a lot about myself, about money, about how the world works, and I’ve met some glorious people. However, I can happily say I am ready to retire.

A different kind of child
Many people say that things were different in their times. That can be true more for some, than it can for others. I come from an racial background. As a child, I saw it as half accepted, and half rejected. There were a large horde of people who didn’t like me, purely based on my color. There were even more, however, who didn’t accept me because of my social standing in the economy. Basically, we were dirt poor. However, I was happy and loved. So fuck what they think.

My Aim in Life's Career
An aimless life is certainly a sin. Different people have different aims in life. Some aim at wealth, some at power, some at fame, some at business and some at education and knowledge. My aim is neither wealth nor fame. I wish to serve my country with the best of my talent. I love India, and I really believe that everybody should put effort to make it a great country. I want to become a doctor. It is a noble profession. In the medical line, there is much more scope of service.

A Fabled Connection
Stories make us who we are. From the time I was little, way back in the 1970's, my heart and mind were captured by stories, fables, and fairy tales. I was not a healthy child and my world was very small. There were not a lot of humans in my life and few good adults. But there was an endless supply of stories, legends, anecdotes.

Jack of all trades and master of none
This proverb aptly describes me. A dabbler, dilettante, an amateur, call me whatever you want but the fact of the matter is that so far I had taken pride in being a jack of all fields and had not cared to be a master of any one field.

Treating Myself with Vocal Earnings
Imagine my surprise when I got an email telling me, "You've received a $50.00 tip from Vocal!" Who the hell liked one of my articles enough to put such a large tip up? Well, turns out I've hit the big five-o. Combining that with the other tips and earnings I've made over the course of three years . . . suddenly, I was well over the limit to withdraw money from my wallet. I've had a couple of plans for what I could buy if I ever won a Challenge (which I'm . . . not any closer to doing, but hey whatever) and suddenly I had a little pocket change to see at least two of those dreams through.

Avoid People, Avoid Problems (Remote Work, A.I., Newbie Culture, and Workplace Disaster Avoidance)
I've long been a misanthrope, and the events of 2020-2021 seem to only validate my hatreds and suspicions further. Still, I don't wish to be a simpleminded people-basher. There is somewhat of an opportunity to broaden my horizons through moderate misanthropy, maybe even making it work for people rather than against them. In fact, I think my misanthropic views might provide valuable insights into improving the workplace (such as it is). How's that for a bold concept?
