Luis Cuevas

Life...has changed. New times, new faces, new home. But the pains of the past...they remain. You can never forget about what happened, and the moments that transpired will always change us all. It is true what they say, I am a shadow amongst men. None know me, but myself, and myself only allows me to be known by as much as myself lets.

Would you like to know who I am? Where I've been? Could you understand? Maybe when your feeble mind sinks its eyes in the following, you might grasp some concept of my life, however miniscule it is.

It is under the present that this insignificant person has, currently, moved on from location. The new place, I may never say, but the living arrangements, perhaps I will. You see, when dear sweet mommy dearest invested her funds in the U.S. government, little did she realize that she would eventually grow in debt. Therefore, I, her son, would follow suit, in her suffering.

Do you have a concept of who "Me", who "I", am yet?

It's funny, because for a person with such enthusiasm, I have 'nary a friend, around me. Oh, how the years have been unkind...

I've come close to suicide several times, now.

Alas, the "new" me, may very well say something like this:

Hi, I'm Luis Cuevas. I'm a writer studying at the University of Puerto Rico. I've failed pretty much everything in life; from family, to friends, to even girlfriends, but I'm still going strong. I got a job working at Toys R Us, working for $7.25 an hour(Hell of a low pay, but it's all I've got). And now I'll be studying to be an English Teacher. Now this is a decision that I have thought, and am still thinking, about.

Most of what people tell me about the Educational Industry is this, "It's a terrible workplace, with low pay, little respect, and no satisfying results." I can see the downs, so where are the ups? Alas, for my retarded psychologist, who believed that I should aim at being a teacher, of all things.

Well, with criticisms like that, how could I possibly agree to this? My main job is to be a writer, so I have several works in place. Am I going to put them on here? Maybe. Possibly. Not likely, but whatever.

The point is that I'm alive...............

So I'm thinking of joining a convent to be a Monk. Wish me luck!
