Introduction I do have a few electronic devices, but probably the most powerful one is my phone. I say phone, but it's really a handheld computer. One of the problems I find is the number of apps that devices try and get you to download, or rather the app creators try to get you to download, and I do have issues when there are too many things happening.

At the point when I was conceived, my skin was dim, similar to my granddad's, in whose arms I found my most memorable home. Family members old and new, whose failure was being breast fed by my folks' fair appearances, looked from far off as my stout cheeks softened into the sleeves of my dada's stained half-sleeve shirt.

VanePublished 7 months ago in ConfessionsMoney Talk
Well, vocal, we're coming up on a year now, I love you, I really do. I have learned more about myself as a writer in the past year than I ever did before. This is not a parting letter, just a see you soon (well see my money soon). I believe in this space, the creators here are some of the most supportive and constructive members of a community I've ever experienced. I've made friends here, I've read things that have informed the way in which I live my life. However times are hard, and though in my mind from the very beginning I said I would renew if I broke even (I more than broke even) I still can't afford a vocal plus membership. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I never thought that I'd be experiencing this. Ever since I became a single mom without any warning it's been really tough. Don't get me wrong , I've had some good years and I love my children to death... the most painful part is being in a position where I'm not able to give them the life they truly deserve.
JPublished 7 months ago in ConfessionsA New Beginning:
The truth of self becomes elusive when there is lack of self expression. A lack of self expression creates a blockage. A story may be told, but if one tells partial truth to hide behind their falsehood, they are being dishonest. Now the integrity of self is compromised. -Azrie'l

Kristi MontgomeryPublished 7 months ago in ConfessionsCHOKING BACK
IT WAS ALWAYS THE LAST PLACE THAT WOULD EVER TAKE HOLD, and so I ran. I ran after first running the opposite direction. I ran toward what seemed like a justly resolve that could somehow bring back what was lost. I ran across town, through darkening streets and past the multi-housing community that lay between my apartment and the "resolve." They could pay my way, cover the transportation to the death site. I ran as far as the desk that held the last, late to leave employee still sipping her coffee cup of browned liquid that spilled from the corner of her mouth as she spoke to me, "We don't do that." She caught the dribble with one finger knuckle then spoke again, "We do not provide travel to an anticipated wreckage site. If your family member is in the wreck of anything, we don't cover a travel trip until they are announced dead and ready for burial," I stared at the SALVATION ARMY representative long and hard before saying anything. Then I spoke, "Then why am I donating my money to your company? You don't really have the purpose you claimed, do you. You don't do anything." I glanced around the room used as an office for the facility, noticing the posterboards and knick knacks on shelves... the videos that were attestation to the "good deeds done" which sat beneath a stand and television. That view and a thought about the fancy late model car in the parking lot I had just run through, bought my repeated comment, "You don't do anything." I turned to leave, not looking back to see nor hear the mumbled line of jargon cast at me from behind my back. It was something to the effect of "good night... good... something " but I did not hear the full intention of her words. I was already gone.

I hadn't been able to put my finger on precisely what has always made me feel welcome in any room, every city, and every country for most of my life until recently... (It only took me 45 years, but better late than never, right?)
