What has been the most difficult time of your life?

  • Well, I have many difficult times, no worse than anyone else I am sure, but still difficult nonetheless. I’d say one of the most was when I was financially defeated, I was broke, literally living paycheck to paycheck, in college and outside of college, I was behind on credit card bills and hardly making payments, hardly making rent, I had no savings account (it got closed because it had no money in it for an extended period of time), I was getting bank overdraft fees constantly, I was maxed out on my credit cards (very high limits) and my debit card would sometimes get declined, so getting groceries was scary.. I mean I thought I was hitting rock bottom but after a while, it took a lot of sacrifices, etc but I made it through finally. 

Do you have a difficult time in your life that stands out?

Day 13

What is your saddest memory?

  • My saddest memory would have to be when my grandfather passed away a week before Christmas I believe it was. Our family had just moved to a new state and it wasn’t too long ago I was visiting him at the hospital, he was talking but I knew he was in pain and that his condition was serious. I never figured his time after that would be cut so short, I loved him and I think the fact I couldn’t make it to his funeral sucked, and the fact I never got to say goodbye sucked, and I was younger, in my preteens, so of course it was just difficult all around.

What song holds special memories for you?

  • Music is so important to me and I have a song for almost every aspect of my life, relationships, thoughts, mood, etc. The music I listen to varies, but I have many that bring back memories; good and bad. Having to choose one song would be too difficult of a decision because I have had more than one special moment in my life, well what I would consider special. I won’t list all the songs either because that would be time consuming, but I will list 3-4 songs that come to mind right away for different reasons.
          – “Wrong” – Ally Hills
          – ” New”- Daya
          – ” Ride” – SOMO 
 
Is there a particular song that comes to mind that holds special memories for you?

Day 11

What time in your life do you always want to remember?

  • I’d say all the good times. Specifically times I had with loved ones whom past away, the times I have had with old and new friends alike, the times I have spent with my siblings and mom. I’d like to remember the times I have triumphed and the times that I struggled but made it through, I want to remember all the positive that has entered my life and helped shaped me into a better person. There isn’t just one time I would like to remember, because I have had many good times in my life that I will cherish. 
Is there a specific time in your life that you want to always remember or are you like me and have more than one?
