Transitional Home

Let me say this right how I remember it so I was in the hospital and I just given birth to a daughter who was adopted soon after to someone who lived in Tennessee a sister of one of my dad's my parents' friends so I had said goodbye it was hard at the nursery at the birthing place in the hospital but I just walked out and left her there and I will forever remember that moment it was sad but they do keep in touch so I was in the hospital pregnant and I was in this house and the point of the story is not that I was pregnant in the hospital or that the baby was taken away or adopted.

The story is about that I was spending time in a residence where I was finally free from a two and a half year stay in a psych ward and I was getting along and with people and my friends and just having a normal day everyday going to program and I will go see my family on the weekend I guess I had friends we walked around Washington Park which was right where the house was on nearby located next to the lake.

My friend would drive me in her van to her house down out in the suburbs and hang out with me in the park.

I had a nice time at program too we actually put on talent shows and I did a rap.

I had a not quite a standing ovation but everyone clapped and cheered for me I was happy and lucky to have that moment.

I actually have a lot of friends who remember me just from that and that's why I have that as my claim to fame. Lol.

So yes it was pretty calm it was Outpatient Treatment and some of my friends who were in the hospital with me were also there in the program and in the residence with the staff that was also from the hospital.

I will always enjoy the memories from this house since I had no problems whatsoever it was when I started out on my own into my new apartment on my own with a roommate that trouble ensued.

I will not say any names for safety but I will not even say nothing that would identify that person and in case she in case that person will be reading this ever.

But I'm so yes that was a nice period of Time of My Life the people were nice everyone was friendly we got along we did something during the day we went to program we hung out we had dinner we helped cook.

I mean life is not always bad it can be hard on your own when you have nothing to do or if someone is trying to control you.

You have to get out of that right away little by little step by step.

And every relationship I suppose has it's you know way.

But so who wears the pants is I guess the question.

( It's not always the man.

And so I'm I hope everyone is doing well I'm just writing the story to recollect and the reason I chose the prompt that the place no longer exists is because I'm not sure it is still a residence that house I'm not sure I don't see anyone in the area that would live there no one, from Mental Health. I went through a lot and they were very supportive to me and I am realizing that now that I write this story down.

If you're reading this, staff and all my friends, which I hope they might someday, I just wish you the best and I had a wonderful time and you were so supportive.

I know I denied having mental health for a while just because I wanted to distance myself.

But now that I have found Independence I am happy to say that I have learned a lot from the people I met through the years in mental health.

I have been on a journey since birth and it all sort of melds together now; no memories really stand out as traumatic.

I wish everyone the best I don't know the word count, or I have to figure out how to finish the story up to a thousand words and just keep rambling, (sorry.

I will do a parable or a fable or a little poem or fiction right now.

So there was a cat and he had a hat and he went to bat at the baseball league field.

He swung that bat that cat and the bat flew and the ball did not know what to do as it flew through the air across the fence without a care.

I'll get it, I screamed.

I jumped over the fence but little did I know it was a sharp fence.

I said ow and I jumped over anyway.

No one at the game seem to care but the mouse.

The mouse said come with me and she brought me home so she can fix my cut.

I don't know where my parents were but I thought they were at the game, so I don't know how I got home my memory is blurred.

Anyway I hope you have a nice day so God bless everyone and to all a good night. 🌙

I need 100 more words so I will say I hope I learn to pay my own way I do not want people paying for me to live and breathe and love, and be free.

I get kicked out of church get kicked out of the library blocked from the art galleries, I don't know what to do.

Is it something about me; is it that I have missing teeth?

Is it my quote unquote bad attitude that wants people to leave me alone,

Or is it just the way it is and people are innocent in not wanting me around, or near. (? Well I have no bad feelings toward anyone so I just wish everyone the best and I'm all right so you don't need to include me in anything.
