Labor Week

UNITED STATES—I absolutely cannot believe what transpired to me this week. For the first time, in nearly 6 months I had what I would call the perfect night of sleep. When I say I don’t sleep well, I absolutely mean it. I cannot recall the last time I slept well in years. Closing your eyes is one thing, tossing...

UNITED STATES—It has been a hell of a past two weeks for me people, how I have not fallen to pieces I have no idea, but I have dealt with two unexpected tragedies that struck my family at the core. I had a cousin unexpectedly die after going into hospice and then another family member die after a stroke....

UNITED STATES—I hear so many people do this time and time again and it has to be the scariest thing to me when it comes to the workforce: starting over. Why? Well when you invest so much time in a company the notion of having to start at the bottom and to work your way back to the top...

UNITED STATES—My grandparents once told me no matter how much education you have you can always learn more. I have two Bachelor Degrees; one in English with a concentration in film studies and another in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Sociology and now I’m working on my Doctoral Degree in English.

UNITED STATES—It is NOT always easy to spend time with family. Sometimes you mesh well with some people, at other times you don’t mesh that well with others. With that said, this weekend I was placed in a difficult dilemma because of course it was Father’s Day. The problem is the fact that I work two jobs and I’m...

UNITED STATES—I sometimes wonder about my family because sometimes people just do stupid things that make you question what the hell they are doing people. My father recently took a vacation out of town to Florida. I thought everything was going well because I’m the type of person that believes when you go on vacation you disconnect from everything....

UNITED STATES—I suffer from terrible anxiety people. I honestly have an idea what triggered it, but I feel like as I get older it has gotten slightly worst. It does concern me greatly as I have spoken to a therapist about it and the advice she gave me has helped when I actually apply it. The goal is to...

UNITED STATES—America right now is at a boiling point. There is so much hate and decisiveness in this country it is hard to watch TV, listen to the radio or just talk to people. Right now, if someone disagrees with you on a particular issue they automatically become an enemy. America we are better than this and we have...
