I am not in pain, I left town to prevent me from beating the shit out of someone who owes me money. I don't want to f*** up a clean police record. The divorce is no longer painful to me, the best thing to happen. I quit my pussy teaching job because I hated the place I worked and took a stand. I'm breaking free from the bullshit shackles that have held me through time. I refuse to be subjugated anymore. I don't give a s*** about feelings, I am nobody's victim. I just needed a hundred miles of distance from the shithole that I allowed to hold me for the past 18 months. I came 190 miles back to the place where I got my son's mom pregnant 19 years ago, back to the spirit of who I was at the time. What I wanted and where I was headed. Well, 2 Master Degrees, 8 Teaching Certifications, a Principal's certification and 15 years experience teaching later, I've come to the fuck-all of the whole charade and either want what I want from here on in or am ready to retire and hammer nails again. I have 2 interviews on Monday and only 1 will allow me to consolidate my education and experience and move in the design I seek. The other is fuckAll and only practice. Just like the guts I exhibited 20 years ago to risk all to save someone's life by risking my own, I now either move forward or give in, take the retirement and fuck-all hammer nails. I have not given in, I am not weak, I will not submit. Monday's opportunity may be the saving grace and I just may fit the bill. I needed this weekend to break from my desire to get even for debts owed and live in faith as required to make a rescue. The confidence I have gained from returning to this place is bold, genuine. And real. Just what I need to go in with the interview on Monday. You guys would want me no less.
