Retired

Greetings! Me again, Malon Mahotiere and I am here to share great news on this wonderful Friday! I’m officially retired. I aint got no job and I aint got sh!t to do except everything I want to do for me. That’s the luxury of overworking yourself over years due to trauma response survival. I would be lying if I said I don’t deserve to “have a seat” and hang it up. Flat screen. The reason why I made this decision is because I felt backed against the wall one too many times this year by employers and jobs. The feeling of relying on someone else to provide the life I want for myself was so similar to the feeling I had as a child where I felt I wasn’t allowed to do things I wanted without approval. I am an adult but our childhood shapes are perceptions into adulthood and sometimes even parenthood. Which speaking of parenthood, people have been forcing motherhood on my life since I was like 7. That to me lets me know that my Mother Nature has always been my prominent energy even as a kid. Now I am older and think about my future children ALOT. Maybe more than most woman before they get pregnant. I even had a conversation with my brother about it. I only talk to my family about things like this because I don’t expect American people to understand my life. However, I want the life my mother had before she passed. God rest her soul. She is the inspiration behind me doing this. When my Auntie Eva passed away, I was devastated. She gave me my first pair of waist beads for me to honor my mom. I took that personally and went crazy with the waist beads. I said to myself, “If this is what my mom is into than I’m going in!” Then BOOM! My waist beads business was born. Now that their both gone, I believe they would BOTH want me to work for myself and go back to focusing on my waist beads business and other things I love to do instead like writing, working out, singing and dancing. I feel guilty for neglecting my business this summer because of survival mode. Perhaps if I trusted in my abilities, I wouldn’t feel obligated to work for someone else just to survive out here in these streets. Depending on jobs to get you off the street is like expecting the government to help you get rich. I should have the courage to go out on faith and only depend on myself to make money. Not corporate America

Today I am being courageous enough to live my blessed life and retire from doing hair or working for corporate companies or people in general. If I work it is because MALON SALON (my business) is handling business. I am more than capable of being my own boss, I just need to believe in myself!

That’s all for now! Thanks for letting me share! I can’t wait for this next phase. Only a few more months until I turn 30. I want my 30s to be way better than my 20s. No more survival mode work!
