My Spirit


My spirit appears trapped.
My wings want to spread,
Like a butterfly before it's released.
I want to fly free.
Be free.
Let me be free.
Let me be myself.
Let me be.

I don't like control.
I don't like oppressions,
Anger,
Confusion,
Hatred,
even regret.

I want to be free.
My soul needs it.
My spirit.....

Taking Chances: Tackling the Workforce

As I have been unsuccessful at getting through an interview in Buffalo, NY for the last four years, I had to finally ask for assistance from a local agency that works on behalf of those who are hard of hearing and/or Deaf.  It is no fun when you go into a job interview and you find yourself among ringing phones, overhead intercom system, and other disruptions that can cause one to lose focus and concentration on important questions being asked. I have always manage to find a job within a year or two.  Never really struggled as much as I have been the last four years.  There are those who may find themselves in a similar position as myself and to be honest finding a job with a server to profound hearing loss can be a huge challenge, even for those who have moderate to server hearing loss. What bugs me about this whole thing is the fact that many assume that those with a hearing loss don't want to apply themselves or they are not capable enough to communicate effectively or wo

A New Year: Moving Forward

In life, we tend to hold back ourselves, our feelings, our issues, and a host of other things.  We fear retributions from those around us for just simply being open and honest with them.  However, those who fail to realize that the person who is actually being honest is actually telling them the truth about how they feel towards them.  The problem is, that person doesn't want to accept it nor believe in because in their defense they were "right" to do so.  Well, newsflash, one's perception is not going to be perceived the same way as the other, but to assume people "get it" is wrong on all levels. Today we live in a society of "miscommunications".  We don't deal with each other or even face each other, we talk to others about others instead because it's easier to do that instead of confronting the person you are having a problem with.  Then there are situations where some people have confronted the person more than three times and the oth

CI Journey: What it's like a year and a half later

Image
As I have been trying to play catch up, life tends to get busy and obviously I'm still trying to catch up.  I am usually responding or answering questions among others on FB in regards to the CIs (Cochlear Implant(s)) and HAs (Hearing Aid(s)) but I know I haven't really been on much.  So my apologies. I was having issues with my nine and a half year old computer and it kept crashing on me.  So when I started to response or work on a blog or tweet or to even try to type up something in the Cochlear Community - my computer went hay-wired on me!  So it has been very frustrating to not be able to participate fully but to do so here and there.  Now, I have a working refurbished Dell tower, which I honestly didn't want to put out the money for, but since I do graphic designs on the side for friends who want me to help them out and I also write - I needed my programs to be fully functional and uninterrupted.  I've only had it for a few days now, so here hoping that I can be
