So, I won't lie. It almost felt like my bed, as I struggled just now to get up (groggy to say the least) and type these letters from the couch. I mean my life could really be a movie, most ties I feel it is given what I've been through, but I try not to make mines seem better or worse because we all have our own story. However, we can get into that later, this is merely based on the present and presently mental health is being challenged everyday of our lives given the circumstances. I'm not only speaking on "COVID-19", but just the fact that we are a little MAD here or crazy (as I like to believe). Just don't quote me, but we all are human. Faults and all. I've come to find recently and personally, I let my past show up in ways it shouldn't (see, I'm growing) and I'm learning from that. Especially being single and in an relationship at the same time. I know I know, don't judge me, but it really is confusing as it sounds. While you may have your own opinion, I know I can't be the only one! It's hard just like life, but my question to you is, are you taking care of yourself? Are you ensuring that your focusing on yourself enough to leave people and thing alone that no longer promote your growth or make you happy? Life is hard enough so give yourself a break and don't take NO for an answer, simply cause the life you yearn for is awaiting. When you wait on others in any given circumstances, you never know what opportunities your missing out on or blessings that have passed you by cause of one small decision or step. I'd be lying if I said it's gonna be easy cause it's not, but you can do it. I did, time before which I often forget and that's what fucks me up at times, but I can believe in you more than I can myself at times and that should speak volumes. You only have one life, don't let it pass you by. You find that strength and courage from within, talk or pray to whatever it/who you believe in and you GO. Wherever your heart leads you. Sometimes we have to reflect on not only the good, but the bad too just to remember what we did before in similar situations so we recognize the reality. No pressure at all cause we all move at our own pace, just don't wait too long to do for you as I have. My prayers are with you, be an example for the future cause it's YOUR life and nobody else's. Talk to you soon, and then we can get a little bit more nosey, gotta laugh to keep from crying right!

Hello again, it's been a little minute, rather late than never right? So hopefully everyone is staying safe and COVID free out there in the world. I definitely have, however how is your mental health? Don't be afraid to think about that for a minute because it's important and I've been monitoring mine as well lately. I chose to title this "Utopia" for a specific reason today, and not to mention I was binge watching a show by that name about-....you know what, it's a lot to type so I recommend looking it up on Amazon Prime (if you have it), but it's REALLY good and has some action while maintaining it's fictional qualities. Anyways, back to the M.O., when your thinking in your head, we all have thoughts and mostly pertaining to life. Whether good or bad, we're thinking about it and in the midst we think about how our life is presently or how it could be better ect. So my question to anyone reading this is, what's YOUR Utopia?

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

Unveiling identity.
In a bustling city where skyscrapers kissed the clouds and dreams flourished amidst the concrete jungle, there lived a young woman named Maya. Maya's days were a whirlwind of obligations and expectations, leaving her feeling like a mere shadow of herself. Yet, beneath the surface, an ember of curiosity burned, yearning to uncover the essence of her identity.Maya's journey began on a crisp autumn morning, as she found herself standing at the threshold of a quaint bookstore nestled between towering buildings. Intrigued by the promise of knowledge within its walls, she stepped inside, the scent of aged paper and ink enveloping her senses.As she perused the shelves, her eyes landed on an ancient tome tucked away in a corner. Its weathered cover bore the title "The Quest for Identity." Intrigued, Maya pulled it from the shelf, feeling a faint tremor of excitement coursing through her veins.Settling into a cozy armchair, Maya delved into the pages, each word a beacon guiding her on a journey of self -discovery. The book spoke of courage, resilience, and the power of embr acing one's true self, igniting a spark within Maya's heart.With newfound determination, Maya embarked on a quest to unearth the layers of her identity, like an archaeologist delicately brushing away the sands of time. Along the way, she encountered challenges that tested her resolve, but she pressed on, fueled by the belief that her true essence lay waiting to be revealed.Her journey led her to unexpected places – from the bustling streets of the city to the serene solitude of nature's embrace. In each moment, Maya peeled back the facade she had constructed, shedding the expectations imposed upon her by society and those around her.As she delved deeper, Maya unearthed fragments of her past – forgotten dreams, buried passions, and untapped potential. With each revelation, she felt a sense of liberation wash over her, like a bird spreading its wings for the first time.Yet, the path to sel f- discovery was not without its obstacles. Maya faced moments of doubt and uncertainty, grappling with the fear of what lay beyond the familiar confines of her identity. But she refused to be deterred, drawing strength from the knowledge that true fulfillment awaited those brave enough to embrace their authenticity.Through introspection and introspection, Maya began to weave the threads of her true identity into the tapestry of her life. She discovered that she was not defined by external labels or societal expectations, but by the unique blend of experiences, passions, and values that made her who she was.With each step forward, Maya felt a sense of alignment with her true self, like a puzzle finally falling into place. She embraced her quirks and imperfections, recognizing them as integral parts of her identity rather than flaws to be hidden away.As Maya's journey drew to a close, she stood atop a windswept hill, the city skyline shimmering in the distance. With a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ablaze with purpose, she whispered to the winds, "I am not who the world expects me to be. I am not defined by the roles I play or the masks I wear. I am simply, unapologetically, me."And in that moment, Maya realized that the true quest for identity was not about finding oneself, but about creating oneself – a journey of self- discovery that would continue to unfold with each passing day. For in the depths of her soul, Maya knew that her identity was not a destination, but a lifelong odyssey of growth, exploration, and self-expression. And with that realization, she stepped boldly into the unknown, ready to embrace whatever adventures lay ahead.
