Rambles of Depression

I began to talk to myself... feel somber, tired, criminal to my own debt.

Why can’t I seem to resurrect past this obstacle in my life?

Each week that passes brings small reward. Simple reward – living.

L I V I N G

God, why did this place make me value their money? Living to make money… it’s impractical, unnatural.

We built this concept! It makes people miserable and urges them to kill themselves. It really does – I know this.

Suicide, homelessness…no one cares for people just as people.

There is always this notion of money, earning, to associate worth.

This dollar makes me a human being.

This dollar makes me a valuable member of human nature, I mean…society.

SOCIETY is the death of humanity. The death of all that is naturally sacred.

It’s like denying using the sun for energy and taking a pill instead. Fill the voids of your humanity with manufactured plastic. Lap of luxury.

No one believes in themselves anymore because

there is no dollar associated to them.

It’s so depressing.

We created something unnatural to designate to the natural.

Awkward.

Am I wrong?

Am I wrong, Walter?

She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...
