Recently I tried to shift my reading from entertainment books to ones that will help me be better and help me learn new skills. I am working on my future success. Any book or article can improves my vocabulary and prepares me for a understanding better while I read Educational or spiritual books.
In the last 10 days , I was very sick , I tried to fight it and continue to work my program , do my homework , and my self study for my future success.
Then I felt that I would take a break and read something fun , just to let my brain rest and put my pain to sleep. My roommate handed me the book : The Housemade by Frida McFadden. I didn’t go to sleep . It turned out to be a page turner.
The book talked about Millie , a young girl that had been released from prison after 10 years . Millie lived in her car after she lost another job and was trying to do every thing in her power to stay out of prison fences , even for the price of her own life. The book shows how one mistake can change many life’s. Millie believed she did the right thing when she saved her friend from being a victim of rape and attacked the rapist , she didn’t stop hitting him , till it was to late and he died . She was only 16 at the time of the event . It showed her struggle to find employment and also how some people manipulate the fact that ex convict cherish her freedom and will use it against her while threaten her to do as they wish .
The book is a fiction , however it opened my mind for what can happen in real life . It is also showed me that trauma that we carried from childhood can impact all our life if it is not taking care off . Also shows’ that that the people with money and power seem strong and get away with wrongs , till they find karma or more correct to say , till karma finds them . It sent me back to adjust my release plan and pay more attention to the struggles that I may face with my release . Even though the book was for pure entertainment reasons, It shift to be important as any other educational book to my future success by made me add a better view for sink holes that may coming my way , now I will be better prepared for them . It also show’s me how important it is to keep working on my trauma in life , the one I have been carrying from a young age and the one that I am carrying from my incarcerations’. Including the time I was assaulted by the one that been hire to keep the safety and forgot their duty while my hands and legs were shackled. Yes she is an officer.
Today is also the last day of Passover , The holiday of freedom , when God pass over the Israelite and saved them from slavery in Egypt . This time to remind my self and others that freedom start inside of us . No matter how hard we think our situation is , we have the freedom to chose to handle life different . I chose to work on my so when God will pass over me and send me free I will be the best version of my self and will be able to build the life that I am planning while in here .
Happy Passover .
