I think I previously forgot to mention that along with my ataxia, I have Left Ventricle Hypertrophy. This means that the left ventricle in my heart is enlarged. I’m on heart pills and regularly see a cardiologist, but I still get chest pains. I get them mainly when I am stressed or anxious. This is why I also take an anti-anxiety pill. Haha.
Speaking of being stressed out, I have been the definition lately, which is really not good on me. You know how hard it is to get a job in this economy? Try being me. It is so much harder. I can’t do a lot of jobs. The ones I can do are rarely available. When there is an opening for something I can do, I have to try to get it over 100 other people... People who can walk and who don’t look like they will be a liability over an asset to the company... People that are, well, better qualified for the job. So here I am, 24 years old, with an associate’s degree in Business Management, being a bum and selling things on eBay in order to pay my bills. Well guess what? I am only 24, so I haven’t accumulated many things, and I ran out of things to sell! That’s probably another reason I am writing this. I can honestly say that I have nothing to do and I actually have a pretty good reason for writing this, awareness.
I actually always wanted to be a writer. I just always saw myself as more of a Chistopher Pike type writer. I love his books. He is why I am such an avid reader. I have moved to books like Harry Potter, the Twilight series, and I love everything by Nicholas Sparks. I think he might have written his latest character, Ronnie, in "The Last Song" based on me. Wouldn’t that be something? But in all seriousness, the character does remind me of myself; kind, compassionate, and a bit emo with purple in her hair. Yup, that’s me!
I'm an old broad who is also out of work... having to start over, when all I was hoping for was hanging in their until retirement. Who wants their mother working for them anymore. There are many ways to make a living, especially if you are young and have time to develop it. Start writing if that is your passion. I always said, "should of, would of, could of" when it comes to my own writing. My advice is make each one of your passions in life count. And, look for clearance items that you might be able to buy and sell for more money on E-Bay (lol).
