My Heart Gave Back.

In 2018, I went to London.

That month away from America, I needed that.

I needed that moment to just live. See something different than America.

It got so clear to me, graduate college and get money.

So when I came back to America, I would do things I set out to do.

Before UK, I was touched by social justice plays I played a part in.

After UK, I graduated college, left multiple jobs, left programs, and still am currently working part-time.

Before the age of 35, I daydream I don’t need to work anymore, and my family is good, and I’m married with a family of my own. I also dream of having meaningful friendships, relationships, and that I’m doing something meaningful for the world.

I made family time and quality time to spend with the people I love.

I care a lot about my free time and spending my time, energy, and money on the most important things in my life; my family, my community, and my growth as a person.

People depend on jobs for income in a pandemic.
