How to heal fully and properly.
Don't Look Back
Long before life was crazy with the now issues at hand, we, the people of the world, were working daily to create a life that was better than our parents. We worked long hours to put food on the table, clothes on our families back and provided more than just the necessities, for working hard should have meant to live at least a little. But the key thing is that we worked hard to accomplish whatever goals we had in mind. The ability to push the envelope, to develop a thing that was never developed, to create a thing that was never created, did not start last year. It has been the one thing that drove mankind to develop the things that are created today. We have always longed to have better, so one day someone created better and so on and so forth. This one thing that ties together all people who are writers, producers, authors, bloggers etc. alike is that we create. We create to become what was not and create to be what is. We do this not for show or for the pride of it, no, our hearts bleed creation. We live our lives in hopes that we can create the thing that someone did not know they needed, but now that they found it, they cannot live without it. We are creators.

Good Deeds
Good Deed You every wonder what the world will look like when you become and elderly person? Think about it for a moment. The natural things we do every day to exist and navigate around the world become difficult to do. Things like seeing things clearly, walking, getting to any destination independently. Waking up and dressing yourself become exhausting. Being unable to physically to go to the store and get groceries, clean up your own home and the list could go on. My good deed is something I do everyday and it is the what makes me excited about life. That is taking care of people who find themselves unable to do the necessary things to survive. I work elderly patients daily. I often say to myself and it has been said to me if you want to know how a person feels put yourself in their position. I do that daily when I think of how we age.

Dear New Year: We are Free At Last
To the year that began it all: I would like to start off personally by saying we would be nothing without the magnificently-glimmering , maleficent chaos that was 2020 . There was a certain beauty to her madness that was far overlooked by most caught in their own melancholia . We came into the year excited for a fresh start . A new year long playground to build and create whatever worlds we wanted . We charged in , brazenly and boldly so , ready to take on whatever 2020 threw our way . I won't say that that was a lie , but truth be told , we really didn't know what the hell we were getting ourselves into this year . Emphasis on hell . We came in raising our emotional glasses high , believing that nothing could tear us down . Enter in 2020 , still fresh off the assembly line , ready to drop the pendulum back down and cause a cultural reset to shock the washed masses . I was so caught up in my carefree nature that I raised my glass a little too high , and in came the wrecking ball to smash it to the floor again .

Hello
Hello, and here I am. I can honestly say even though 2020 is behind us.... I will never forget that wild roller coaster ride. 2020 was the year that I thought was going to be the best year of my life. Why you may ask? Well....it was the year of my 25! I got a promotion! All occurred in that first month.... then of course the unexpected occurred. A turn of the worst I should say. We lost the GOAT 🐐, Kobe Bryant..... honestly I felt the pain for his family. A pain that carried on for remainder of the year. As the year progresses we found out about the inevitable COVID-19, that killed hundreds to thousands to hundreds thousands of people. Pain spread across the world as many families lost their loved ones to this virus. The root of this virus is still unknown quite frankly.....but the effect of this leaves nothing but pain. As the year progresses thousands to millions of people lose their jobs due to shutdowns. People worrying where their next meal will come from or how they will keep a roof over their heads.

2020- a retrospective
2020; a year that will go down in infamy... Not very often you get to live through a section in a history text book, aye? But that's not what I'm here to talk about, least not on such a global scale. 2020 was definately a years of highs and lows, for myself as well as many others. However, as we entre 2021- let's hope the sequal is better than the original- I felt the need to take a look back at 2020, and see how it was for me, and hopefully by doing so possibly help or entertain others who felt or experienced similar thing's.

Dear New Year,
Dear New Year, Stop putting me through the ringer every year to prove I have no boundaries when it comes to family. Stop dragging up the bodies I thought I had buried, or allowing me to continuously be hounded by debt collectors. Please, I beg you!

Starting Over At 49
Who would have ever thought that divorcing the father of my children in 2017, would lead me to being laid off by my children in 2019. I spent eighteen years being a housewife and devoted mother. I did not have a plan B. I never made yearly resolutions that did not include my children. However, due to the simple fact that I was not able to afford to take care of my children alone in Houston, Texas without living in an awful neighborhood, working four jobs, leaving them home alone after school and on weekends. I had to give up my full custody rights, and let their father raise them. My biggest fear had become a reality. I then became homeless and was forced to reevaluate my life.

Dear New Year
Dear New Year Ah, 2021, just seeing you on my page is a refreshing sight. Resting calmly at the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. A subtle reminder we are not where we once were, even with how we feel. As much as I’m looking forward to what you’ll bring, I feel as though your predecessor must be addressed before we rush forward.

2020 - It's Finally...just about over
It’s been a year unlike any that I’ve ever experienced. There have been so many ups and downs, frustrations, anger, sadness, regret, joy, and a sense of renewal. It’s hard to put it all into words, or to even know where to begin.

Dear Celeste
Dear Celeste, 2020 wasn't such a horrible year. You got that promotion you've been working towards. You and your boyfriend made the huge commitment and bought a house together. You witnessed the death and birth of yourself, and you suffered the hard loss of your grandpa.
