Let my mind cool down

  Let my mind cool down In humble acceptance Of the facts. Let it settle on the believe Of my futility, On my right For freedom. Grecia Albornoz (2021) 

March, 03rd

Today shall pass Like any other day I might not be ready for it But today shall pass. No matter how much Longings and memories Hunt my mind Nor  how much pain It causes  me to smile  Today shall pass too . Tomorrow There will be a new day Someone else's  birthday to celebrate My Hope. Grecia Albornoz (2021)

Just a random conversation in a random office:  -“I don’t necessarily hate my job, you know? I just think it isn’t something worth doing for so many hours a day… It’s a creativity killer. One cannot act mechanically for so many hours, It’s diminishing! One must explore! But don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful to have a job  I’m just not thrilled about doing what I do 8 hrs a day, everyday.  Sitting in front of a computer, calculating fares, answering the same questions Over and over...

It won’t have an anxiety attack  when people yell at them on the phone for a fare too expensive or for something they lost or for being too angry at their own crappy day feeling you’re the best option to vent their anger!!! It won’t suffer from stress for not meeting s...
