I remember growing up in the projects, having all kinds of dreams. When I grew up I wanted to be either a doctor or a lawyer. I know I wanted out of the projects real bad. I finally got out, never did manage to get my dreams in order. I didn't even grow up to be something. I had always wanted to make something of myself. Maybe one of these days I will. I hope so.
Right now I work for the city. I'm back to doing daycare work in the mornings and afternoons. Except now they call it safekey. I am the only one working now. My husbands job moved to Soutnern California and he hasn't found a new one since. My son still hasn't found work either and I'm hoping some one gives him a break because he could use the lift in his ego. I know this isn't the projects, but it sure feels like it. I'm on summer break so no money from work. Hubby is on unemployment and we don't know exactly when that will end. He will get his license back at the end of the month though and we both can't wait for that. Some days when I sit out here in the mornings all alone, it feels like I'm back stuck in the projects and on welfare again. Goingno where with my life. Will this depression and emptyness ever go away???
