April 13, 2022
Yesterday, I had an interview due to happenstance. I have a couple of panel interviews this week, so we will see what happens. Things may once again come full circle. I had my first one-on-one with the new Vice President of Global Customer Success. He was apologetical 20-minutes late. We discussed his observations during his […]

Birth
Seeds of resurrection. Childish games they continue playing. Those lingering lies were their truth as fairy tales. I stepped away. For a moment, my thoughts I quietly transcribed—a world of burning embers. I returned, and everything I knew turned to ashes. Memories no longer forgotten.

January 31, 2022
I am finally feeling better. Word on the street is that another variant of Omicron is in circulation. Double-masked for a while. The new normal. Yesterday, I received a package from Brian; it was a set of legal documents for him to have administrative rights over my late father’s estate. An inciteful reminder of the […]

Temporal Loop
I watched the seasons change and found a new opportunity. A sinister familiarity lingered. Something is unchanged. The rippling effect in the pit of my spirit tells me this is more than deja vu. Yes, I have been here before, many times over. I must come to terms with something, and I cannot locate it. […]

1965
November 27, 2021. Exactly fifty six years ago to the day, my parents forged a union. Tied by a secret circumstance. Our lives shaken by revelations in the wake of my father’s death. Everything we knew was covered in blood. Every excuse and obsession was in Jesus’ name. Our house divided, it was never meant […]

In the Distance
I thought things would get better as I got older. So much experience to make the journey easier. Then I realized, I should have changed my ways. The world is a bully that torments me for decades. My experience doesn’t make up for my mental state that is withering away. Familiarity is now in the […]

Lingering
Haunted by the dead and buried; acceptance denied due to the absence of closure. Grasping at the tattered hem of a garment; faith-seeking answers. Time dictates the pace of suffering; peace is a forced state of mind.

Fools
A sense of panic lingers. Words spewed to comfort. It’s not over. Garbled dreams and nightmares so vivid. Time is forced to rewind. We’ve shut our doors again.

In the Valley
This valley is void of life. My days are wasted and my nights are restless. I’m bankrupt because of good deeds. My thoughts gathered in an empty space. The shadows tell me there’s no reason to be here.

2020
A sudden fracture within the norm gave way to an unexpected tragedy. A single infection shut down the world. Despite the unprecedented events, we sought peace and equality. Our reality is now planted in a virtual world. A King showed us the meaning of strength and commitment; a loss we cannot recover. Politicians forsaking the […]

Waning into the Night
It’s been a long time; people come and go with ease. With each new acquaintance, I find a piece of familiarity to the one no longer around. The world has become stale these days. I lost my best friend five years ago; I am still coping with the loss, hard to believe. Love slowly diminishes; […]

Exhausted
Time is up. It should never have gone this long. We crossed the threshold of no return. There are days when my sarcasm takes over; my psyche is coming to the rescue passive-aggressively. I hoped by this time that I would have solved one problem and then introduced myself to another. However, we reached the […]

Dark Times
Voodoo ebb and flow; Summer setting on the horizon. My fancy white linen crumples to a dirty gray mound. Wicked vibes are rippling. The days are getting shorter; I can feel the chill of darkness behind me. Another spell is cast. Night is expected and still disturbing.

52 Weeks
It has been 52-weeks, today marks a new starting point for reinvention. Starting over is the norm—experience gained from the plethora of mistakes. Yet, I am none the wiser. On this day, I find it difficult to fathom that I have spent 52 revolutions around the sun. Time is becoming a crushing weight on my […]

Fifth Dimension
In 2018, I entered my fifth decade. It was an uncertain time; my struggles professionally got the best of me because of my career goals. I trusted more than I questioned. By early May 2018, anxiety and betrayal got the best of me, so; I walked away from my employer for mental recovery. It was […]

Four-Corners
It’s August; we’re still here; Summer stole Spring’s rite of passage. We waited while experiencing the four-corners of isolation. Our hibernation feels eternal. I’ll never understand the mechanics of time.

Crumbling
Once we had a common enemy, and we forgot our differences. Time changed our intentions. The voice for peace becomes the antagonist. Our unity is fracturing in such a diabolical way: the blood, bruises, and nasty self-infliction. A broken body cannot defend itself.

The Whether
I wonder whether the sun will shine again; these tinted days are affecting my mental state immensely—those hazy recollections, dusty specs on the glass window. I wonder whether I will change. Whether or not tomorrow will be the same as yesterday.
