Subtopic 1: Writer's Choice - mention biannual or semiyearly
Subtopic 2: Writer's Choice - incorporate a milestone
The "new" Weekly Writer's Group has reached our 1st milestone, and being active for 6 months, now! Maybe we ought to start having a yearly biennial celebration? I think it's cool since we're literally Half Way There! The 1st-weekend write was on the 22nd anniversary of my son's due date (3/13/22) though he was induced on the 9th. We had his party that day, too.
I started off with writer's block, but, with the 2nd pic, kind of had a revelation... When I was young, I had dreams of becoming a part of the legal field somehow (it didn't have to be an attorney), as in, whether it was in the law-making, law enforcement, or law practice, it was appealing to be a part of that process, hoping to get into a legal department somewhere, and hopefully become a diplomat at some point. I also wanted to be a professional ball player or musician. Aside from topping out as a semi-professional musician, none of those panned out.
I also discovered advocacy & activism as a young adult, and I seem to be very good at it, there's just little room to get paid for the time & efforts for people to make a go of it. As a person who loves to cook, I never thought I'd be able to make a business out of it, since I've had too many obstacles, people undermining my efforts, etc. until the pandemic happened and I realized I could feed at least 150 people at a time with the right crew. Then those were kind of dashed with different health issues that still make it near impossible to run my own kitchen.
My efforts turned back to getting agency help to find employment, and here I am, going back to what I'm good at... being an advocate & taking action to try to remedy the situation. Dreams really are disappointing, whether you're asleep or awake since they rarely if ever turn out half as good as what came to you in outer space. Maybe I should take the advice that being successful doesn't have to mean that one is able to have the so-called American Dream - maybe it's the positive impact I've had, even though I have no idea if I've had that positive impact or not.
