The type writer or modern idiot, they said I was cheat. The lace and their crimes, the town you would get arrested. My brain is like a filling cabinet, with many tabs, nothing goes unnoticed here. You think I am oblivious, I am quite aware, I just don’t let no one know that I caught on yet. I just wait and see how far you will take it. The Strawberry Margarita, may be new to the scene but it’s a disguise. I like to be as shocked as you, when you find out I knew along. I have been choked, burned, slapped in the face by family members and people I wasn’t related too. Nothing scares me or phases me, I don’t mean I never get scared or nervous, but I won’t tolerate people’s bullshit. I don’t need a large group of friends, I don’t need to be fake, I love my small group of friends and being myself. I won’t let no one change me, because they feel insecure, it doesn’t mean I won’t work on myself though.

I didn’t cheat my way through school, I don’t copy others, their personality or movements. I didn’t surround myself with people full of hate and arrogance, I walked alone. I still had the highest GPA and all you could give was nasty looks because you were jealous and envious. Where did that get you exactly? I can be petty and shady but in a classy way. You threw your life away because of jealousy. Being the bigger person and classy, is what got me where I am today.

The tale old as time, sitting around the fire, for the hope of it all, I love including lyrics. For me it was enough, the craft, been writing since I was seven. Long car rides, I let the imagination flow. Strawberry Daiquiri, there are more alcohol drinks I can reference later on, that have significances in my life. I am not a drinker, but I do enjoy trying new things especially on vacation. Most drinks are gluten free, since I am allergic to gluten. Walking through malls which have become outdated. Many movies and music aren’t the same. Rose blush, I love the creative process. The process isn’t the same every time. Which is why I love writing so much. I never get tired of it. Like Hillsong Live “Always Will” will always be my favorite. I’m not perfect, but all credit does go to the Lord. Everything happened the way it did for a reason. I do realize many look up to me, I do want to be a good role model, but I will

make mistakes .

Someone who doesn’t care what you say about me or how you view me. I’ll show you where the finish line is, but won’t regret one moment when you do me wrong. I leave quite an impression is knowing how to be classy and elegant while being petty at the same time. You will never know when or where, all you will know is I hide it well. Keep guessing because you will loose, I don’t play games. I came here to slay . Each person who crosses me eventually regrets it and comes crawling back . When they said they would never do that, well then why are you knocking at my door? You lost at your own game, while I was over here not given in to your nonsense and being the bigger person. You snooze you loose, not my issue.

Everything is blue, the opening of show, to the end of the show and to the credits. I have been in several moves and plays. I got to be the background crowd in “The Hannah Montana” Movie, also three Sponge Bob Movies that were filmed in Downtown Savannah, I got to meet

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Dempsey. Part of the Hannah Montana Movie was filmed on Tybee Island. During several Hurricanes like Micheal, Helene, Mathew and Irma and many more, I helped organizations as well as what I made to help areas that had no food or water. I’m mentioning this because there are still several places like Rock Hill, South Carolina that got washed away from Hurricane Helene, in the midnight hours. I love helping the ones in need, even if it’s very little, it can still go a long way. Many things I mentioned in this chapter wasn’t about me, but to make awareness that threat might be over, but many are still suffering. Hurricane Margarita is being thankful that you are alive, and still have your belongings, while other places suffered worse.

No power or water for days, everyone said the storm would miss us, but the track kept going east. Never knowing you are dehydrated or having a heat stroke until it’s too late. We didn’t get it as bad as North Carolina but still got it bad. Ending up in the hospital with infection and other issues. This was the last problem I thought I would have to deal with. Still not being to get the sound of the wind out of my head. A experience that was freighting and something I never want to go through again, but I know this just the beginning. This was eye opener of what is to come and be better be prepared instead of blowing it off. Which a lot of us have done this for years expecting the storm to not be bad, but it was the opposite. We better learn now then wait when it’s too late. When the sky goes dark and realizing you miss the chance to be prepared.

I am not Snow White, I don’t believe in fairytales. The sweet beginnings, when I do fall in love, I love you for who you are. All of us have flaws and imperfections, that still doesn’t change how I view you. Watermelon Daiquiri can be sweet in nature, but doesn’t stop growing or learning because there are limitations in the way. I love the many different types of writing especially folk, during Covid, I was in my own world. I almost had to be put on a ventilator. I had several people close to me pass away during that period of my life. I wasn’t the easiest to deal with. Covid really altered my life in a way that I didn’t expect, I’ve had eight surgeries in the last five years. I also do believe it’s not all Covid’s fault, I do believe my biological parents were exposed to radiation from Chernobyl. Radiation can alter your DNA and can cause defects, which can be passed down and I do believe that is possibility for all these surgeries. I don’t know my medical history but I have been learning it the last five years. I didn’t walk or talk until I have five years old. I had to push a cart to learn how to walk. I would listen to music to learn how to talk. The beginning of my life I was in and out of the hospital. I was four pounds and eight ounces when I was born. I was supposed to be born on July 23rd not January 23rd. I was born in Mykolaiv, Ukraine and adopted when I was two. I was treated like I didn’t belong here. Ukraine will always be my home country, where it all started for me. I did have limitations in the beginning but I did overcome them.

So the story goes, the mother I never had. My biological mother had me when she was eighteen years old. I was left in an apartment for three days until a police officer came and gave me to an orphanage for a year. Being born in Ukraine then adopted and brought over to the United States Of America. Which took seven days, the journey turned out sweet to brutal. The father is the only one that you are close to, you don’t see him as your adopted dad. He just your dad. Fortunate to be here, a story I was told two women the first year had lettuce, water and peanut butter. The second year they only had lettuce and water. My adopted parents gave them the two large jars of peanut butter that they had to these two women. A story that has stuck with me and where I came from. Ukraine will always be my home town and I will always remember my roots. The toughest part is knowing my hometown was destroyed on national tv and I was treated like I didn’t belong here or had the right to be here. Many have several cars and houses, be thankful instead of arrogant about it. You have clean water and air condition, when many don’t have enough to survive. Until you know what it’s like to come from nothing, keep your mouth shut. You have no experience or know what are you talking about.

Having a funnel cloud formed near by, I remember starting my associates and it was in 2019, when a Tornado formed in Rincon, Ga. I had a final paper due, so I was in the bath tub with my dog, finishing my final paper. My dad was driving home in it. It was my only way to stay calm, don’t ask me what I was thinking at the time. When I told my professor, the look in their face was priceless. I still got an A on my paper. White Sangria is having the instincts to survive, but still your nerves get the best of you. Like right now in North Carolina, another funnel formed near by and I am working on my Podcast. It has passed since then, but still I can’t help it. My brain goes somewhere else when I am scared. I don’t show I’m nervous or scared, I’m cool as cucumber, which throws many off. You know you will be proven innocent, just like all the times before, that’s why you remain calm. The ones who act out are usually the ones who have something to hide.
