In this blog assignment I will be opening up about a time that happened less than 20 days ago... and still to this day I am very ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. But, before I start what helped me sculpted this blog assignment was from reading two short stories one written by Ernest Hemingway and the other by Maya Angelou. These short stories helped me as a writer use different genres that helps the audience feel what you want them to feel. Therefore, I hope you reading this will help you feel the embarrassment and anger that I felt this day. The day of the Super Bowl I decided to tell my spouse that I no longer want to be together... you see love makes you do stupid things. We got married young, I was 18 he was 20... I decided to put myself first and chose to be a woman with a degree and my dream career before becoming a wife.
Today is a Monday and I have so much errands to do... GEEZ! Its only February and I feel so stressed out already and really unmotivated. January 13th was the day I lost my brand new car that I had taken out the lot 6 months from that day. I was on the highway, there was black-ice and no salt on the bridge. My car slid down the hill and crashed, that was the first L of 2020. My second L was this day.. February 3rd, before I begin I want it to be understood that I already had problems with my spouse the amount of disrespect I kept tolerating and how I realized I was becoming a bum (lazy and very very unmotivated). You know the saying "who you surround yourself with is who you become"... well I became lazy and very very unmotivated. If I gave you a background of who I was in high school and the things I did in college you'll be like "WTF HAPPENED?" "What time do you want to go food shopping?". Fred says. I look up at my phone. '1:57pm'. I scratched my head and sigh. "We can go now, just let me get dressed." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 minutes later.... I look at my phone and read the time '2:30pm'. We just left shop rite and now we're at Walmart. "Alright let's be quick please because I have homework I have to do, meal prep, and im trying to be in bed before 10." I stated to him. "Ard cool," he replies. As we walk into Walmart I noticed he immediately left me by myself, me not caring I go in my own aisle grabbing what I need to meal prep. 20 minutes after grabbing all the items I seen him in the game board aisle, "OUUUUUU lets get a game, have a game night like we use to." I say with some hope in my voice. "Yeah, I'd like that." Fred says "Ard cool, what about this?". I grabbed the 'matched that meme' card game. He smirks and chuckles, "Yeah, that's actually perfect." he says. "Yayyyyy, okay so now lets go its already about to be 3pm" I repsond. "I'm going to go in the sneaker aisle grab some to workout in". he states With a confused and annoyed face I ask "can't get that another time I'm trynna leave neooooow". I state emphasizing the 'neow' part in my Cardi B voice. "Chill out," he says Me catching an attitude in .2 seconds like I usually do, I state "Yo what you mean chill out I got things to do, I'm tired of working on your own time." Damn, this is every time I try to get something done by a schedule and once again he always interferes. Cooking is gonna take me about 2.5 hours and I have to prep another 20 minutes, then I have to wash dishes because he don't help.. another 20 minutes, that'll be around 6-7pm. "Stop b*tching, man". he says walking away.
