Poisoned Purple Pen

by Purple Princess

Rated: GC · Book · Opinion · #1591550

One writer's journey

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

In response to "Covid Christmas"

Q. You know why DJT will never have a heart attack no matter how many burgers he eats?

A. He has no heart.

I'm at risk for covid so I try to be careful but I live in a building with shared facilities and I have no control over what other people do. I feel trapped. So yeah, I'm not happy.

I don't think DJT is totally to blame. His lack of leadership is obvious and painful, but the American public, the covid-deniers (and anti-vaxxers), the 'Muh Freedom' crowd and anti-anything-everything crowd has put everyone (including themselves) at great risk.

Postpone a dinner by a week? This shit can linger for months! So... either just say no or be prepared for more illness. And yes, I hate to agree with you about your dearly loved husband but give him a kick from me.

How about a First Day of Spring or Easter Dinner? Covid might be calming down by then.

I don't even want to get started on Trump.

I'll just say you and I are on the same wave length!

2020 has been a challenging year, for sure. Off the top of my head, I know 12 people who have died. Two of covid, three of cancer, one heart attack, and the others are unknown and I hate to ask. The woman who died yesterday, died of covid. She was so scared when she found out she'd gotten it (three weeks ago.) A few days before that, my mail lady died of cancer. She couldn't've known long before that that she'd had it because a few months ago, she was her usual chatty, happy self complaining about the mail system and looking forward to retiring. I've been so sad about these two ladies today. And also for the others who have passed this year, especially my aunt, who also had covid. I was so lucky to have mild symptoms when I had it.

Actually, I'd rather talk about our piece of shit president. Then I can take all my frustrations out on him.

So sorry you haven't been able to hang out with your mom.

That's got to be tough, especially this time of year.

One of these days, this virus will be behind us and life will be less stressful and we'll have a different president. Hang in there! You're in good company.

You folks don't look/act like you're over 100! 105, you say? Oh my. There's just me so I'll never catch up to you-two.

Having been in a very bad accident (hospitalized ... memory loss) I would still be shaking.

As for mornings ... I don't do mornings so you got me there.

In response to "Beautiful Beirut - my heart breaks for you"

My heart goes out to you too, and to the people in Lebanon. Your rant is so powerful, and it left me with so much more information than I could make out on the news. Also, the Dutch have opened a bank account number to help with money. And I thought there also was a Dutch team present to help. We have a Lebanese community in the Netherlands also. It's devastating.

Keep strong!

Just wanted you to know that I read this. I didn't know your connection with Lebanon. If possible, because it's painful, educating people where you live might help... except that there's so much going on and many don't seem to care beyond their immediate circle. Faced with that you may need to rant again and soon.

My heart goes out to you because I understand! I also have dual-citizenship with a middle-eastern country. So, I get it. All of it. Stay strong!

17 Years

Well, here I am, back at my old stomping ground again. How freakin fantastic is that? Pretty damn fantastic if you ask me.

I'm sitting here at work [shhhh, don't tell that I'm playing hookey at my desk in back] and it's FINALLY QUIET.

Road construction began a few weeks ago, but this week, it's been INSANE. Watching the impatient drivers who think my parking lot is their escape route, is pissing me off. I'm not gonna lie. Within five minutes - 300 seconds - I watched at least 30 cars cut through, one almost hitting a pump, another, missing my husband by mere inches since he was trying to move a vehicle so he could pull out of the bay and bring another in.

I almost called the police to get their ticket quota on Monday watching the craziness, but I didn't. Today, hell yes I did! They were so excited about my phone call that they immediately sent me up to the traffic department, where I got the pleasure of leaving a message!

Assholes. They must be busy confusing peaceful college protests with rioters. I mean, why else would they not bother to come and prevent people from having an accident or hitting a construction worker?

Now that my venting is out of the way.

IT'S MY BIG 17 YEAR WDC ANNIVERSARY
