Blessing in disguise

Last year was the worst year I ever experienced in my life, things just seemed to happen to me at such a high rate. I thought I may had been cursed; one thing in particular was getting into a car accident with a friend. when we were traveling back from New York to Boston. He was driving while I was in the back sleeping, I sometimes wonder why I had let him drive, before we left a gas station, he did bring it to my attention that he was tired. I slept through his concern, in all fairness we where both tired but I fully acknowledge that in that split second when he mentioned his concern of being tired I could have took the wheel, but laziness and bad judgment took a hold.



My feeling after the accident was one of confusion, pain, rage, sadness.  my emotions where all over the place, considering I was asleep during the accident. I couldn’t see exactly what happened, I woke up to a car reck, it was something like a dream, I remember being enclosed but being able to move in little intervals, there wasn’t much pain till this day I am not sure why. my injuries consisted of heavy bruising to my head and the loss of a two tooth. My friend endured heavy bruising, luckily, we walked away alive because the car was wrecked.



Initially I wanted to blame my friend for crashing the vehicle, but knowing that it was a complete accident, I also willingly put my life and his life in danger especially when he expressed that he was tired. I learned a very important lesson from my accident. One of them was pay more attention to people, never take for granted or overlook people’s concerns and that life is preciouses and can be gone in a split of a second  

what is my power ?

super powers are relative everybody has something they do better than others,  but my super power has more to do with my personality. I have always been a deep thinker since a child, it has always been easy for me to take my self out of a situation, and be able to understand people. I live life in a very empathetic way. I used to think that it was an overcompensating measure I would take. The more I grow/older I get, I realize more and more how ingrained it is into my hard wiring/personality.


I currently work at a DDS home/ human service job, in which I hope to make a career. before I started working in this field. I used to think  something was wrong with me, due to the fact that I typically try to make everyone around me comftorble/ happy. I genuly get joy from helping others and its fulfilling in a way I cant truly express, overall just boosts my happiness. my goal everyday is to have an impact positively in the world, that can be as little as asking how somebody's day is going. I am truly blessed in the sense that I'm able to see things in this way, it allows me always to see the positive aspects in things. friend/ coworkers always wonder why I always seem so happy, but other then me generally being mostly in good moods, I just try to behave in the ways I think would allow me to have continued growth as a human being, in turn  leveling up my super power.




my weakness or kryptonite is procrastination/time management. It is something I try work on everyday, but I could work harder. Its so hard sometimes  just to sit down to focus it could be due to the fact, I have adult adhd. I tend to think of multiple things at ones, without finishing my original thought this weakness has caused so much problems for me in life. I refuse for that to be my crutch/limitation and know that I could over come this with routine and presidents. I yearn for the day I can finally sit down and, be able to pace my self without medication, that is a super power I truly would wish for.

When I was a limitless child



When I was a Limitless Child

Nothing seemed impossible.

I could fly, I could be anything or

Anyone, life was simple with no worries.

Time seemed infinite, happiness seemed

Forever so did sadness.

I could do anything,

I could be anything,

My imagination was boundless                            ,

With zero limitations.                                                                                 

Life was whatever I thought it to be,                                                             

Bunkbed could be a tree house,

Stairs could become a slide.

The park could be my own little restaurant

, oh yeah the tooth fairy was real.

My family never limited imagination

They always encouraged being different.

My family made it possible

To be a limitless child.
