TikTok is my Favorite App

  Not gonna lie. I was skeptical and stubborn about using TikTok but after the 2020 diabolical situations of boredom and lack of interaction even for a introvert like yours truly, it was and is an amazing creative platform. I post my reviews and my small "Ted Talks" when it comes to the vaccine, mental health issues, bring awareness to important political and humanitarian matters or just having fun. My TikTok is @wonderaries13 I hope you enjoy my content. 

Childhood Comfort Zones

    I, along with many Disney customers have received the dreaded e-mail that has announced local Disney Stores were officially closing. I woke up to this image as I was starting my morning and this has portrayed my 2021 as something that doesn't seem to get any better. A bit dramatic? Yes and I do not feel guilty or ashamed for feeling this way. Why? Despite the circumstances of a global pandemic due to the COVID-19 virus that may become an official, endemic. The Disney Store has been a happy space for me and has eased my anxiety by just being surrounded by things that I associate with the very few happy times in my childhood. I have never been to Disney Land or Disney World so the Disney Store is as close as I have ever came to it, along with watching vlogs on trips to Disney.  Now, before, anyone starts to comment on social distancing protocols, I have been taking as much precautions when I go to a large place like the Disney Store which I am ashamed is non-essential and I felt

Job Searching and the Inconsistent Determination Towards a Brighter Future

  Job Searching, its been the constant fear and dread or in some cases the utter delight to find your place in the work force. But the latter for some of us Millennials like yours truly, finding work in my department has been a constant let down and the difficulties of helping raise someone else's children as they get their own life together and you are left with the pieces that's been on your shoulders since the age 13.  Did I get too personal there? Yes. Is it profession in a blog post that is open to the public or that could be used by DCS or a Hiring Manager? Yes and no. Why?

Yes it is a setback. You and I have been trying to get our lives back in order from a couple of days to maybe multiple years and the inconsistency of not finding the right environment or the right career, its get exhausting
