Unique and creative minded, but feel like the field in which I desire won't give me a chance.

Is it healthy?

The cat who had kidney disease passed away on February 21st. I cried my eyes out. Since then, I have been cleaning my office, and trying to make it look different so that I don’t feel like he’s just going to walk in and meow at me. My office was... See More »

One of my cats has kidney disease.

He was diagnosed on Tuesday. It keeps hitting me over and over throughout the day. We have only had him almost 8 years. We brought him in from the street in 2016 before a hurricane, and I thought we would have him longer than this. I thought I could... See More »

Barely making $100 every 2 weeks

Well, I lost my contracting job on December 1st…I was only getting less than $300 per week, and trying to stay above water without going negative in my bank. I only had that gig for 8 months. And now, I am only working my side gig while trying to... See More »

Is Halloween dead?

We got no trick or treaters last night, and even left the light on. Last year, there was only one group, and we had no candy. But this year, I made sure we had some…and was disappointed that no one showed.

Depression really puts a damper on life.

At the rate things are going with my life, I’m going to die a bitter old woman due to not finding her happiness in her career and personal life, with no family around her, and no penny to her name. It’s a really upsetting reality I’m facing, and I... See More »

It’s my birthday

And I can cry if I want to. Thursday we went to Universal Citywalk and had dinner. It was a late dinner, but at least it finally happened. It seemed like forever trying to get out the door. Then we walked around. I’m glad to have had friends... See More »

Is there an escape from customer service?

In my hunt for both financial stability and career happiness, I have found that there are indeed major obstacles. The uncertainty of whether I can overcome this outweighs the knowledge of a clear possible path to freedom from this god awful field... See More »

For my book I’m revising…

Reasons that drive a female character to start drinking and become an alcoholic (excluding death in the family)…go!

What to do

What is the meaning of this life if one cannot make something of themselves worth being happy for? And if they are just mediocre, how can they survive without relying on another? I feel as though there is no hope.

Where am I going?

Feels like I’m going down the wrong path no matter how much I try. I know this contracting job is only temporary, but it’s something that makes me feel like I have more control over my schedule and life. I am trying to make more time to do the... See More »

Am I wrong?

Am I wrong for wanting to go home to tend to my old disabled dog with separation anxiety, and to my bed….after spending 3 days walking around a convention center, instead of being at a loud after party with alcohol and raving? I don’t drink, and I... See More »

New job, new outlook

I decided to become an independent contractor, and work for myself. It’s been too hard finding an actual job to employ me. Plus, I feel more free to do what I want when I can make my own schedule. Working from home is great when you don’t have to adh... See More »

Desperately trying to find a new job.

What does it mean when a job starts calling your references…but is only able to speak with one of them while playing phone tag with the others, and not responding when you reach out with other references? Have they given up and moved on to other... See More »

The Family Who has Forgotten

My dad passed away in 2018. Since then, I have heard little from his side of the family….even less than before, which was already next to none. They lost touch with me more and more since my mother left my father when I was 4. We moved from Texas to... See More »

Back to the drawing board…for now.

I still have my work at home job, but I’ve decided I’ve outgrown the field of customer service in general. I’m looking for a position that doesn’t require me to talk on the phone, and will settle for a chat job, but can never find one. The ones that... See More »

I started a podcast.

I started a podcast and I’m not sure it’s going to be very good, but it has a strong meaning behind it. It’s all about networking and helping people find contacts in the music business. Not going to say the name of it because I try to keep myself... See More »

The search continues.

The search continues for a way to get out of customer service for good. I’ve been stuck in this field for over 20 years, and have outgrown it. It’s nothing but a never ending pit of people needing help and sometimes nothing is ever good enough. This... See More »

Today was not a good day.

Today, my online therapist not only canceled our 4th session last minute, but she stated she has significant health issues and that she is leaving the company and to find a new therapist. I do not blame her for needing to do what she needs to do for... See More »

We really only live once, and yet…

We are all just rabbits chasing carrots above our heads, waiting for this race to finish…and it never will until we die. We spend our lives chasing the prize at the end of the rope, and only some of us win. Most of us are struggling until we’re too... See More »

News flash…for myself.

Barely anyone cares. Yep. That’s what I am lead to believe. At least, not my friends any family. Disregard my previous post about my mom…I have no idea what that conversation was about, because it just didn’t make sense. But my mom has always been... See More »

Betrayal??? What do you think?

A strange thing happened today. I was on the phone with my mother, someone who has always been there for me, supported me, been someone I can confide in….and her boyfriend was in a bad mood (bi polar). He seemed a little upset with her about... See More »

Love this song

Old and washed out

I’ve come to accept the fact that I have to work harder if I want to get anywhere with my passions at my age. If you’re not a young, beautiful spring chicken, no one is going to look your direction, especially in the fields I was hoping to get into.... See More »

I need a therapist

But I can’t afford one.

Where is my history?

When Similar Worlds first began, they were intended to be the spin-off of Experience Project. I was a member of Experience Project that was able to transfer the stuff I'd written from Experience Project to here. It took them a while to do this... See More »
