Making The Most Of My Typing Speed

 At the moment, I can type about 90 words per minute and I think that's faster compared to those recommended for professionals to have. I'm proud of being able to type this fast but I know that there are so many out there that are way faster typers. Anyway, so I thought to myself, "What do I do with this speed and precision?" Immediately, I had the desire to profit off of it. So I did some research and found ways that I could use this skill for income. Here are some of the things that I discovered to be lucrative. Transcription is one of the things that I could do to take advantage of my typing speed. I just found out that there are so many individuals worldwide who need to have their audio files converted into readable text. In truth, there are movie and medical transcriptionists. They are the ones who turn the sounds and conversations from the films into text for those who love to read or the deaf. Also, some of them transcribe prescriptions and doctors' orders ...

Doomer or Bloomer?

         I don't know whether I'm a doomer or bloomer. But I'll identify myself as neither of the two. I just want myself and people in general to survive. I don't want folks to suffer because I've seen what suffering does to people. Just because folks manage certain ordeals, it doesn't mean that they're fine after. But, then again, I understand the necessity of life challenges. Without them, what does this all mean?         I like how these so-called "Bloomers" have a positive outlook. Yet I also appreciate the realism of Doomers when they acknowledge the possibility of overshoot. I mean, you can't be happy all the time, right? Also, it's useless to always feel depressed and the victim of unfortunate circumstances. In between those things is fine.

Writing Helped Me Cope

               Many are saying that it's the end times now but I doubt that that's true. There's an incurable disease at the moment and that's about it. People are working hard to find a vaccine to address the situation. Also, it's very unproductive to preoccupy one's self with such trivial matters. Science may not be perfect but it sure beats mysticism. Folks in the pharmaceutical and medical industries are doubling their efforts. Their goal is to make everything alright. Sometimes, though, the bad news gets to you. Humans are social beings and happenings affect us even when we're not conscious about it.                 Social media can indeed be overwhelming sometimes and I struggled to ignore the news too. People share a lot of negativeness and it's depressing. But I started writing and it helped me vent off my emotions. Regardless of the gossips that I heard and the headlines that I read, I bec...

Happy Times are Now

               I've been single for quite some time now and things have been a whole lot better. Sure, my last romantic relationship was fun, but it had problems that made the breakup inevitable. My ex was helpful enough to support me get back on my feet when I was down and out but likewise limited my potentials somehow. Because we're not together anymore, I'm able to pursue my interests and passions. But it's not just losing the past romance which I'm thankful for. Treating some friends as casual acquaintances helped too. Having fewer companions gave me more time for myself and my family. In fact, because of the seemingly bad things that have happened to me, I was able to strengthen my relationship with my parents.                Survivalism is something that my former friends and recent ex didn't like very much. They saw it as a form of paranoia but I defended the movement like I guarded a close...
