Brainstorm

Hello, my name is Peg and I have a lot to say because there is an infinite amount of possibilities and I am doing just that, trying to reinvent myself as the prompt says, so now that I have made my way into a relationship, a house, a neighborhood, a community, a career, Education, family bonds, program, money, Financial stability, and Independence now where do I go from here? This is the second half of my life and it seems like I have a lot of freedom, but not necessarily a lot of time. So what I have established as a business is paintings, which I love doing and I get rave reviews, short stories and poetry books and jewelry which my family thinks I could do better at. So right now is the beginning of Spring, yes it's true, warmer weather is appearing and popping its little head through the window but we have to keep in touch with our old memories that have not been healed, first of all, and also our old ties of people who we cared about from the past, while we move ahead into our future, I say at least. But for me, I see that there is a whole world out there in the next level of where I'm at, what I could start from at this platform. But I know a lot more financial stability would be useful especially at this crazy time in the economy; being a dependent on Social Security I am hoping I'm able to keep my house and my program will continue to pay rent. I use my money for my hobby supplies: painting canvas, jewelry making supplies and for entering contests and submitting my art into art galleries. So for now after making a website even though it's AI generated and sort of fake and I have to go back and edit it to make it applicable to me and my personal business, I feel like there's a myriad of ways and routes and avenues that I could go to from here. My schooling coming up (College after many years of none), is making me feel forward and hopeful looking. I know that it will be a lot of work especially since I have a lot on my plate already, but not to mention I have fun blogs and cooking shows I do on Facebook. But I feel established after a rather difficult life with I'd say a couple abusive relationships and a lot of ostracism from my family, a lot of overthinking in my previous apartment made me come to the conclusion that no pain is forever and that is also a lyric from Rihanna's song but I thought of it before I heard that. But so yeah nothing lasts forever, in my words that would be, but so that's saying even if there was an earthquake and I fell in and no one could rescue me I would die eventually. So like that's an example of that nothing lasts forever; no pain is forever. So you really shouldn't worry especially since those things have a very slim chance of happening at all. So we'll see, wish me luck. Right now I don't have any leads on what to do next especially since my bank account is empty but you know chances come along. No one really wants to help me, but more acquaintances and government agencies help me than my own family, but they've done what they could and I can't expect more. In fact, what they've done is above and beyond and I'm very appreciative for that of them but so that's it for now if that completes the word count.

Now a little parable; Once there was an egg with a chick inside and it was growing, and it was hatching, and the chicken that warmed it by sitting on it let it hatch and it came out of its shell and it looked around and everyone watched it on the farm it was born at and it was a newborn chick and it was cute and the little girl of the family wanted to keep the chick and feed it and it did. It pecked at its little chicken feed and it soon grew into a chicken and had babies of its own. Now this chicken was a special chicken, it laid golden eggs. I know this is a common story, but so the golden eggs that the chicken laid were lined up in a row in the girl's shelf in her closet. She didn't want to tell anyone that it laid golden eggs and one day her older brother came in to tease her because she liked to play with dolls and said, "Oh, can I check your wardrobe, mom asked me to see what clothes you have so that we can know what to get you new for Easter, we're having a party." And the girl said, "Oh, no, no. I don't need any clothes," because she was afraid he would see the collection of golden eggs lined up on her shelf. He said, "No, let me see," and he opened up the door and out rolled all these golden eggs and fell in a pile on the floor next to her shoes. "Wow," he said, "What's this?" and he grabbed a bunch of them and ran out and showed his parents. "No, no, no!" She sat in her bed and worried. The parents came in and said, "What's this, Greta, why do you have all these eggs stored in your room?" "It's from the chicken," she said, and they said, "What, no these aren't real eggs, these are gold, how did you get these, where did you get these from; who gave these to you?" and she said, "No, really seriously the chicken laid the eggs." And they didn't believe her so she went and showed them an egg that was beneath the chicken out in the chicken coop and it was gold, and they said, "Wow, this chicken really does lay golden eggs," and she said, "Yeah," and she said, "Can I please have my egg, I want to put it in the collection," and they said, "No, this is going to make us money, we can move out to a better place and be among the rich Folk and have a nice life finally for ourselves and move off this God forsaken Farm," but she said, "No, I like the farm, I like the chicken, please just pretend this never happened. I don't want attention and media and press asking me all kinds of questions I don't want attention, I want to live a private life like it's always been," and they said okay Greta we'll just keep it quiet and they lived on. thank you end of story
