  • Passing Through by Kaden MacKay.

    It came on while I was driving, struggling through feeling like I just didn’t have enough time. Trying to work up the cash to get to a better place, feeling stuck in a dead-end job that I’ve lost what little passion I had for, not really many opportunities to get something better in my area.

    Trying to work through my own identity, feeling how much of who I have been was something built on the things pushed onto me, feeling like I’ve missed so much of my own life being buried within a shell that was just starting to open. Trying to open it more, knowing I had to face the risks because staying inside was killing me.

    Feeling like I was behind, running towards something I could never catch. I had to pull over because I had started crying. I was doing all this, making myself feel worse, and never taking that chance to just be. To be comfortable in my skin, to be who I really am, to let the time pass through and just smile, even for a little while.

    I won’t lie, when I was putting six 12 hour shifts in a week for a factory job, that’s about what my car looked like, just with Rehabs. I was chugging those bastards just to keep on my feet by about day 4 of my week.

    Yet, somehow, that wasn’t my wake-up call that the job wasn’t worth it. That took “It’s okay that we emissions test on animals, every auto company does it!”








  • That’s the bad(and good) part with my lot. So damn intelligent and persistent, they figure out a way.

    I’ve been tempted to move to child locks, but I’m half scared that by the time they’ve fully grown, they’ll have figured out how to manipulate those. I know at least one has figured out how to unzip my backpack, flush the toilet, and turn on faucets. She’s almost gotten down how to turn doorknobs by dangling.
