Introductions, Icebreakers and Prompts group 1 week, 5 days agoGood Afternoon From New York City
Dear Unsealers,
My name is Oswald Perez. I’m a poet and writer that lives in New York City. I’m also a person that has Cerebral Palsy.
I’m thankful to have found this group. It took a bit of effort on my part to take the leap and become a member of the group.
As I happened to be scrolling one night and came across the sponsored advertisement…read more

Introductions, Icebreakers and Prompts group 6 months, 3 weeks agoHello Unsealed Communityy
John A. CarubbaHello everyone, first this is the first letter I’m posting on this so please don’t be too judgmental lol. Kidding aside, let me tell you a little more about myself I suffered a devastating lower back injury from a car accident I suffered when I was 13 years old. It turned my entire life into a tailspin downward for a decade I was in a wheelchair…read more

John,
First things first, welcome to the community. I remember reading the letter that Lauren wrote with you.
The challenges you’ve faced are tough, but you’ve proven to be tougher. From the time I’ve spent on crutches I can feel for you in problems with mobility. I hurt my knee so badly in high school baseball that I was told I would never…read more

Thank you Roger!!!! That really means a lot, I’m glad you know of Batavia too. They are in a different league now the PGCBL they lost their affiliation with the Marlins but we are happy to have them back. We were one game away from winning the championship but came up short and we had to watch the other team celebrate on our home turf which was…read more

Hello John,
I cannot imagine what it was like for you to lose your mobility at such a young age. To make matters worse you could not find a compassionate, competent doctor for the longest time. I am so glad you finally received the treatment you needed to walk and that you are here at The Unsealed to share your journey and wisdom.…read more-

@oneturbobenz
Dear Roger,
It is always so painful to lose someone you love who is so very close to you. Their spirit and light is always with you. I feel your pain. I have lost both my dear parents and this loss is felt every day. But I will say that I always try to live each day with purpose and happiness because I know that is what my…read more-
@shelleybrill I have been trying to get to that point. I changed jobs 3 times since October of 2020 in an attempt to find peace at work. My current job brings me back to the industry my Father spent 42 years working in. My Mother went through a lot of hard times with him always out on the road. My Mother never got her drivers license and so going…read more

Prelude2Cinema shared a letter in the
Introductions, Icebreakers and Prompts group 9 months, 2 weeks agoSometimes saying “I Love You,” is meaningless.
Alex P. MichaelsI’m a writer and words have meaning. My Dad was a Marine and for him Action is what matters. I don’t expect him to say I love you, because that is not the generation he grew up in where Men expressed emotions. Yet I know he loves me when he took care of his family and bought me action figures (Star Trek or Superheroes) even when I broke the las…read more

@prelude2cinema this is so true Alex. But sometimes the words are nice to here. You really should check out @telina27 letter. She talks about some similar feelings and emotions in regards to her relationship with her mother. Here is her article. https://theunsealed.com/activity/p/1710/
My mother’s parents (my grandparents) also weren’t very good…read more

I feel like saying I love isn’t meaningless to certain people I think it’s only meaningless to the person who doesn’t feel the meaning behind the words truly. I’ve said I love you to many people but I’ve always felt forced and never really meant it. I don’t think I myself am a lovey-dovey person. I’ve only ever felt real meaning towards the word…read more

Prelude2Cinema shared a letter in the
Introductions, Icebreakers and Prompts group 9 months, 2 weeks agoFearless or Friendly
Alex P. MichaelsOddly enough one of my friends likes to compliment me in what can be called paradoxically jealous. He said, I was fearless.
The circumstances was I went and talked to someone while he didn’t. Often times I strike up conversations with people I find intriguing. I didn’t want anything but just to say hello.
My Friend, on the other hand, puts a lot…read more

For the title of your story friendly or fearless, I believe that you are both. Not many can go up to people and start a conversation with someone you have never met before. I was just like your friend. I never said good morning to anyone on the street or talked to anyone because I found it very weird to just talk to people I never knew or had to…read more

Hi Mehr, @mehraslam
Something that we definitely both have in common is having a strong mom. Your mom sounds like an inspiration with her endurance and determination especially coming from a society that tries to deter a woman’s independence as you mentioned. My mom was also fiercely independent as she had to raise me alone. We definitely…read more

I’m glad we have something in common. Know that I’m so proud of your mom and you. Respect & love for your mom.
I completely understand, I used to spend time with my siblings. My mom used to tell them to take good care and do not fight haha. You know what my brother used to drop and pick me up from kindergarten on a bicycle, there was a small…read more

My first professional job. December 1986 I was fixing to graduate college and Jeanette and I were getting married a couple of weeks after that.
