Most days I wish I was dead

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I walk around with a smile on my face but behind that smile I feel as if my life has been one big disappointment after another I wanted to raise my kids in a good environment taking them on family trips like I experienced as a child what I got was brainwashed by someone who knew I was already vulnerable needing and desiring love to take advantage of me and ruin my children’s lives forever in one way or another.

Some days I think of driving into on coming traffic or taking a bunch of sleeping pills just to stop my pain or to stop thinking that I’ve failed my children even though they are all grown now my pain is still great and I still struggle with it

My mom is the first person that comes to mind.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

This is my mom my Beautiful success story she has the most beautiful smile

Since I was a little girl I have always looked at my mom as a success story to me because I have always seen her persevere through everything. I watched her make enormous life decisions get disappointing it and still land on her feet even after my dad passed she went to work she was able to get new cars keep up the house that we were living in maintain her sanity and travel with us to different places in the country in order to keep us involved with family and friends she even moved us across country because of the possibility of building a brand new life even though that ended up being somewhat of a pipe dream that was not reality she still landed on her feet again she has always been a devoted church member a consistent employee for whatever business even a human dictionary a real inspiration to be around. Able to pick up new material fast always showing that she is an asset to whatever she is doing not to mention her phenomenal ability to play piano that I for one have picked up a bit here and there. She has always looked super human to me you never realize someone is getting older until you’ve been away from them for a while. She is still as beautiful as ever though she is still able to live on her own do things on her own maintain her ability to think Moe speak and talk to me often she is simply awesome. Not bad for someone in their 70s she’s beautiful super smart and still capable of being helpful and cherished as I do as much as possible she is the greatest success story that I can think of. She’s giving strong loving considerate always compassionate always had a great work ethic just a all-around great person so she would be the one who I would say it’s not just my hero but is my favorite one to say is my success story. My mom Mary F,T, Green

Understanding why!

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I have been fighting Social Security for over six years now and for the life of me I have been in a fog just going through the motions every day trying to figure out what The next step is to get my life back in order which direction to go or whether to just cut my losses and do what I know best to do and every time I start to go in that direction I feel like I am on the brink of, doing something that will turn my life upside down if I go that route because making rash choices in my life in the past has cost me greatly and I don’t wanna do it again even though I don’t regret those choices I don’t want to do them again and end up in a hole bigger than I’ve ever been in even though I’m not happy in the situation I’m in right now and I know I don’t wanna be in it for the rest of my life I don’t want to uproot again and start over somewhere else without having my ducks in a row or having a solid plan I don’t want to begin again without at least having everything that I know I came here with because it wouldn’t be right and I would be devastated so I’m trying to understand what it is that I need to do and why I am so hesitant to move forward even though I know I am able to land on my feet and get things done I just don’t feel like I am supposed to go anywhere right now and I don’t understand why so that is why I am trying to figure out why and why it’s taking so long and it’s such a difficult fight to get everything moving forward for me right now why am I being held here.

I am putting off making plans I am really living my life the way that I want to live it actually finding the love that will love me the way that I am used to being loved having someone who is compatible with me who is honest and loving and giving and has roots like I do and who is honorable who I wouldn’t mind taking Home to my mom and who has morals and things of that sort who I can travel with who will cherish me and celebrate me as I would them this is what I’m putting off with the life I’m living right now it’s like my life is shrouded in secrecy because of who I am with and what I’m dealing with and I’m tired of living in shame. I am a family oriented person and I want the person who I am with to be family oriented as well I love my family and I love traveling I don’t want to be just one of many I am the one and that is how it should be so this is what I’m putting off and I don’t want to continue that for much longer.

To become a owner by 55

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

I have always wanted to own a pregnant teens group home for a long time so I set up a goal to achieve this by the age of 55. It has become a bit daunting because I don’t know the steps by which to take in order to accomplish it I know that I need to own a building and I need support plus staff, but trying to figure out what steps to take and the people to talk to to accomplish. This is difficult to understand and how to go about getting my foot in the door to get the houses in order to achieve this feet so I have constantly stopped before really getting started. This has been a passion of mine, since I was a teenager when I went from school to school talking about being a pregnant teen myself, or I want to own a total of three, and get into the business part of it to accomplish my goal of becoming someone to help society, and girls and learn that they can still make it even after they have children early.

Speaking things into existence watching them happen and enjoying the resistance

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

I have always been a dream or a person that likes to write and a person who likes to think and then I became a person who likes to speak so the things that I would write down I started seeing them aloud and watching them happen around me. I would always see things like a person who didn’t agree with what I saw or what I had said say it’s not because of what I said that this thing happened but I knew that it was because of what I said that it came about because of the sequence of events that took place that made it happen and it would make me chuckle because I didn’t knew that how it happened the process of what happened wouldn’t have happened like that if I hadn’t said it like that so I became a habit of mine to speak it into existence and watch it happen I’ve always been an optimist and I enjoy being an optimist because things always work out in my favor even when it doesn’t look like it. There’s always room for a win and since I’m a winner I always win in the end so my hobby is winning and writing about what I won. Whether that is weight loss Money understanding or peace of mind there are always little wins in everything.

I don’t work hard I work smart

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

I have always been taught work smarter, not harder so and everything that I have done I have always found ways to optimize my productivity with out, overdoing it on my body since I love working with children, the goal is to not over, lift them or strain myself in the process of caring for them. This way I am teaching them effort. Oh, responsibility for their bodies and their brains without hurting themselves, and using their smarts more than their ability to use their muscles your brain is the most powerful muscle in your body and using that is the greatest thing I believe you can use to accomplish things in life, along with common sense.

Songwriting, teaching, parenting skills

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

If money didn’t matter, the three jobs that I would love to have with B writing music about life that incorporates circumstances about happy times sad times, meaningful moments and real life events. The second job or a career would be teaching people how to appreciate life skills and finishing what they start Jobs like that would encourage folks to actually finish school and pursue life skills. That would help them get further in education or in financial aspects of life my third would be teaching or helping teenagers the importance of sticking to their goals for when they become parents not all of a sudden, just dropping what their parents taught them, but actually paying attention to what is important about their parents life and what made them the way they are, and growing from that that way they are able to teach their children how to make it through hard times in life instead of not learning any lessons, and then rebel against them when they get older and especially learning about leaving a legacy because there are so many people in this world now, who have nothing to show for their life who have no legacy whatsoever, and whose name dies with them And I hate that that happens in today’s society. I truly believe no one should be forgotten, and every person deserves to live on through their family their children and the future and people forget how important that is when they only think about themselves and what they want at that moment or their feelings at the time.

The ones who inspired my life the most growing up from stories

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

The athletes that I drew to marveled by and loved to watch and hear about where Flo Jo Jackie Robinson Muhammad Ali the marvelous Marvin Hagler Joe Louis Jesse Owens you couldn’t get past these names in the different sports because they were the ones who made all the headlines they were so important and so good at what they did that no matter what they were involved in you knew that they were the best and you wanted to be the next one just like them I marveled at them and wanted to be just like them or even better I respected them never knew how hard it was for them until I got older thought they had the best lives not realizing what struggle it was to be them during those times so I have the upmost respect and love for them knowing that not only did they have the fight just to do what they loved but they also persevered made it happen so that someone like me could come forward and do it too so I have much respect for each and everyone of them still do to this day.
