Alright, guys and girls its finally time to read my next blog. So, fasten your seatbelts (if you are reading this on a car) and put your popcorn in the microwave. Its time to read the craziest story of all time.
So, I kinda cheated this Thursday. I had a lot of homework and I forgot that I had to a blog to write. So, I posted something right at 11:59 pm but I promised to write another blog. So this is it.
So, guys fasten .. oh wait you already did that.
I was thinking a lot about what to write on the next blog. But, let me start this off by talking about someone I just met. She was my lift driver. Wow. I would've asked her to marry me if she was my age, and wasn't a pregnant woman who had 2 kids... and a little bit younger.
First impressions.
I was walking towards her car, and immediately noticed the Deadpool leather seats in her car. At that moment, I knew, she was a fun person. Anyone, who loves Deadpool can never be boring. People don't say, that person was "funny" anymore. They say that person was "Deadpool". Trust me she was funny. Wait until you hear her story.
Ok, so I got in. And she asked me how I was, I said: "I am good, just having a mild headache, how about you?". Now, I don't remember what she said exactly but it went something like this.
She was fine now, but if you had asked her the same question (ie. How are you? Just in case you forgot what the question was because she looks so beautiful) towards the beginning of the year (Jan 5 to be exact), she would've said "My husband just put a gun to my head, what do you think?" and you wouldn't know how to respond. But don't worry, I did know how to respond. So, I responded. And we talked for a while and found out that this was her second marriage. She had 2 children. A 4-year-old and a 13-year-old, and she found out she was pregnant on Jan 22, right before her birthday which was on Jan 23.
That was crazy. Her husband almost killed her and her (unborn child), so she moved to North Carolina and came back to Texas after 10 days. Found out she was pregnant right before her birthday, and now she is repairing her home because the last woman who lived there tore down her house apart. Now, most of you or even me would've been really fucked up, and sad and I don't know how I would've reacted. But, it is scary to think about it.
On top of all of that, she lived on her own from the age of 14 because she grew up in an abusive household. She said wanted to run away from her parent's house so she took her father's car and crashed it in the petrol station (idk if that was intentional). So, at the age of 14, her father asked her to grab her things in a bag and leave. So, she left. The saddest thing about this was her younger siblings got to keep her dresses that she really liked. Leaving the house was easy. Giving your clothes to your siblings?... Now that's something!
I don't know much about what she did then (I would've Loooved to know) but she said she was an exotic dancer in her 20s. I bet she has a loooot of stories about that too. I suggested her to write a book about her because she was the closest to the Deadpool character I've met (except me of course). I told her about it and she said she could've easily been Deadpool's wife and it kinda makes sense. Deadpool's wife was also a dancer. But I feel like Deadpool could've been her wife. She is more like him that himself. If that makes sense.
She also lived in England for 2 years (which was almost 6 years ago). She married a Brit and loved her stay here. She said she was so spoiled there that she would carry empty bags from US and when she returned the bags would be full. Now, I don't exactly have an idea of what they would be filled with but let's say they would be filled with Chocolates/dress/jewelry to make it interesting.
She also worked in the carnival for almost a year. And oh I forgot she is a certified Chief and something nurse. She's not a nurse but something like that. And she went back to college to study Psychology but didn't complete it because she got married to this guy who nearly killed her. Now, she wants to go back to study but the student loans are not available until she pays off her previous student loans. So, now I don't really know what she does, but she does ride Lyft.
Now, I am writing about her because even though she went through so much, she was telling me these stories in such a Deadpool way. Like it was interesting and funny and I could've easily listened to her stories all day. Her personality was really good, and she didn't let anything change her. We often complain that we've been through so much and feel like we are not in the right mood because of all our circumstances. But, no. It's not that, you are grumpy and sad and not in the right mood because of you.
I wrote this entire blog about her because I really liked what she said "Of course, I have my moments, but I don't let it get to me. I don't want my kids seeing me become sad. Kids learn from you, and if you get sad or give up after something bad, they'll learn the same. I left my husband as soon as he did that to me and never looked back again. Because, if I had gone back, my daughter would think that it is ok to be abused by someone, or might not be able to stand up for herself. Also, life goes on, if you get stuck on one thing you'll never be able to enjoy anything. I went through a lot of shit, and they make up really good stories, which I can look back and laugh or be proud that I made through it". Now, that's not exactly what she said but she kinda meant it.
OK bye.
