I’ve got to move at the end of the month, alone this time, and after the past ~15 years, I am broke AND freaked out. But I have made only A grades in school, I’ll be cancer-free 10 years this year. I have some serious plans for when classes start again next week and especially once I am approved for a place. I spent two hours crying this morning but now I am planning to work on packing and planning and disposing of that which does not serve me— including a ton of hair products that I purchased to try to manage the chemo curls, LOL.
I used to be adventurous and it’s time to get back to that. I have a lot to say. Those of you who know me from Yahoo 360 may remember: “ImanZaineb’s What I Think… Tasty, Ain’t It?!”
She’s still me, plus all the schit that happened after. I have to remind myself, I’m not an idiot, nor a monster, and I am extremely loyal and forgiving. And I love learning.
Here’s the thing- I might need a little help here and there. I am hoping for a decent living space to prepare for exams, complete my thesis, welcome my loved ones and prepare for my next steps. I would appreciate any advice, suggestions, and yes, maybe even a little cash— (disability + mini-stipend+ school loans=fixed income) if necessary.
And when I finally write my new Humanities textbook, you will be the first humans I thank (and pay back! ☺️) for your being my friend, and a generous one at that.
And don’t worry! I’m never getting new b***s or a new car or anything like that. I’m just hanging on to my life raft, kicking along towards the shore. I’m even using one arm for direction so I don’t end up off track!

Carmen Rawls aka Iman Zaineb. Still tasty, because really, dark meat is yummy and breasts are a killer—sometimes. 😜🤣
