Give you another person’s order don’t scream. If you order a large french fries and they give you a small french fries say I’m on a diet and just keep smiling.
I choose to be happy. I choose my focus.
I need to stay focused. I will finish my memoir. I need to revise my memoir three or four times. I understand what is real and what is not. I am a happy Black woman writer.
I make eye contact with people. I linked my contacts.
I smile. I feel happy. I share. I know I am in a good place. I made peace with my illness. Sunshine face.
I sometimes deal with strange fears and have hallucinations.
I get anxious a lot. I have anxiety meds for that now. I get an injection that manages my symptoms every four weeks. I still hear voices.
I understand now why my childhood was mine and so are my 30s (the now).
I love that I’m a blogger. I love that I wrote a memoir. I’m a poet. I love American poetry. I love writing in my journal too. I always keep journals. I wrote poems since I was in the fifth grade!
I have come such a long way from where I started from in life.
I’m a published poet. I have this successful blog. I’m thankful for my success. I wrote a memoir. I feel like I’m getting healthier. I lost 15lbs. I have been at my Mercer job for almost 2 years in January 2018 after I go back to work after Winter Break. I’m doing well in LTED 160 class with Dr. Rosen. I love NJCU! I will be taking the Praxis Core for Educators test soon.
I realize my demons go wherever I go. Me and the mirror I see myself in.
Sometimes I get very anxious. I feel fine though. I set my short-term goals and I will continue to take life one day at a time. I know I’m never alone.
Angie Martinez said in an interview
Everybody should write a memoir. I thought wow I couldn’t agree more with her. I bought her memoir My Voice on http://www.amazon.com.
There was a time when I felt low or lonely.
Now I feel like God is with me everywhere I go. I just know the love I have for myself is what nobody can take away from me! God is the giver of peace and calm in the midst of my storm. I can sleep at night. I’m less anxious but I have anxiety meds now too. I get anxious a lot.
I remember how once someone said I sing myself.
I’m a self-centered person. I love opportunities. I love knowing I’m desired by some men. I love the color pink. I love feeling female. I want to be a wife someday.
