Happy Anniversary, Vocal (You Fickle Mistress)!
Three years ago, when I was still a bored young woman unwilling to get rid of Instagram, I saw an ad to become a paid freelance writer on a website called Vocal. Vocal was a place to write about whatever you could possibly want; get inspired, get busy, get some validation from other writers or casual readers on the internet. With a couple of weeks until the rise of 2018, I had been listlessly searching for something to change my luck around. Since my graduation in 2017 and subsequent smack in the face by the reality of millions of others just as desperate to find a good gig in life, I had been locked deep in a depressed haze. I couldn't seem to get myself out of the dense muck of incompetence and pessimistic anxiety to the point where I couldn’t ever see being happy with myself and what I was doing. Who I was becoming.

How to Receive A Raise On Your Paycheck!
BEFORE TRAVORIUM: I've worked a J.O.B(Just Over Broke) since I was 14 years old. My first job was painting a church for a summer work job. I was always taught to get good grades, go to college, get a good job, and I would be successful. I've done fast food, to watching children at a daycare in order to make extra money. After high school, I joined the Air Force, and thought that I'd be travelling around the world, making all this money...little did I know, I was actually setting myself up for failure. I ended up getting married, having children, and working two jobs just to be able to take care of the two children that I had; and even that wasn't enough! It seemed like the more money we made, the less money we had after all the bills were taken care of...and that put a financial strain on my marriage, on top of other things, so it ended quicker than it began.

The First Post
Dear Reader, Hello! Hi. How are you today? I do not know how this works, again by the title I think you can guess this is me trying to figure it out. Umm. This is Awkward because I do not know how to keep a reader engaged, I know how to entertain because I do theater, (did theater? COVID hit so it is confusing). My aunt directed me to this site because I am a writer, and my biggest dream is to be a teacher one day. I read through a few blogs on this site and they all seem boring to me. (Again, I still have yet to figure anything out). No offense to the creators! They probably took a long time to pour all their hard work into their articles, but I have the attention span of a goldfish so I need something that will keep me engaged when reading about the stock market crash of 99’.

The Attitude That Stops People From Taking What They Deserve
"If you want to succeed you need to stand out from the crowd". This is the attitude that is so often replicated in our culture on what it means to be truly successful that became the motto that is shared by all the role models and stars in the world. It is so ingrained in us that many times we identify "followers" as "losers" and will label them with the most despicable words for not bringing forth their own creativity.

How To Deal With Negitive Review On Fiverr
I thought this would pair well with the upcoming Advice post this month, and so, this will be the story of my first unhappy customer (and how they caused me to stop voice acting for a while). While I regret the situation, I think there was a lot to learn from it. With that said, let’s get into the story.

Watch My Small Beauty Company Grow! (Or Fail!)
I am a person who enjoys the journey, rather than the destination. I have always enjoyed setting goals that were out of the left-field, and impulsive. And I have always been the kind of person to want to experience all that life has to offer.

I'll Wash You Dry
Being an adult sucks, that's just the point blank truth of it. You have to follow the laws or you get put up, you have to clean and cook or no one else will. It's a lot easier to want to do that when you feel whole. Even when you don't feel whole you still have to find a way to get yourself up and do the damn thing. Laying about and watching as your entire world crumbles doesn't do anyone any good.

Why I chose to get the COVID Vaccine
I made the decision to have the vaccine for COVID 19 today. It was a decision that was actually made very quickly for me because I knew working at the hospital, I needed to protect myself every chance I had. The masking, the protective gear are great ways to protect yourself as well, but the Vaccine was like a ray of sunshine in these dark times.

Does hard work pay off?!
My work history started at the age of 13 during a school program in the summer. I was impressionable, eager and ready to earn my own money. I always made lists of things I wanted to buy and what snacks I had to have thinking I was going to be rich. To some I was! I got to treat my friends to whatever they wanted at the corner stores.. ha ha I was a big spender. By time I was 15, I had 2 jobs. That summer program with my school and Six Flags( Great Adventure). You couldn’t tell me nothing. I was practically grown! My grandmother taught my sister and I about saving and spending only what we needed. She never took anything we made but we did get to use the money we saved to buy our own school clothes and shoes which excites me because the shoes I wanted I never got with her having to raise 5 other children. My grandmother was an amazing woman. Til this day, I never understood how she did it. Raising all her grands, working 2-3 jobs, being a pilar of the community on which seemed like little to no rest. We all learned some type of valuable lesson. Mine was; Always make sure you are able to provide for yourself and your responsibilities. Don’t depend on anything or anyone. Because if they left you tomorrow you will be all messed up. So this was my motto growing up. This was what made me go so hard.
