Day 16: Shopping Wishlist

  • A pair of Vans

  • A brownstone for my mom, so she can finally have her own space

  • My own place, obviously. Natural light, bathtub, and a beanbag chair are needed.

  • A will to live

  • Just kidding with that last one

  • Or am I?

  • Honestly, most of the things I want aren’t buyable. Happiness, a release from my depression, my anxiety lowered. With time, those things become manageable. But for now, I’ll stick to retail therapy.

  • I do like cats.

Call me Jai [which rhymes with 'hi']! I'm currently a student at SUNY New Paltz, majoring in Communication Disorders and minoring in Deaf Studies. I'm a huge fan of horror movies, comic books, and Harry Potter. I've been writing since I was young, and I specialize in spoken word and short stories. I am originally from Brooklyn, but have lived in a variety of states over the years. I love music (anything in the alternative rock/pop punk/rap & hip-hop genre is my jam). I aspire to be either a Teacher of the Deaf or speech-language pathologist in a school, after I get that Master's, of course (and possibly my PhD). I also want to be an advocate for mental health in the Black community, speaking out for those who do not have a voice. Writing novels like Stephen King and J.K. Rowling in the future is just a side job :)
