Today my shift was canceled.
I’d say it was a bittersweet moment for me.
I needed that $138 more than anything.
But truth is — my body wasn’t ready for the pain I would’ve pushed through to earn it.
I woke up from a nap dizzy, head pounding, smelling things that aren’t even there. Phantom symptoms from a very real fight inside of me.
Now it’s 7 PM.
I should’ve been an hour into that warehouse — drenched in sweat, pushing through slave-like work, gripping tools with hands that barely feel anymore.
All for $11.50 an hour.
But instead, I’m here.
Still. Quiet.
And for the first time in days, I’m sitting with my thoughts — wondering what God is trying to tell me.
Maybe He’s reminding me:
I’m not just a worker.
I’m a woman. A mother. A soul.
And there’s something greater for me than barely surviving.
I don’t have the answers tonight.
But I have the fight within me.
And that’s something money can’t buy.
