Greetings and Salutations! I am Christy Walker (maiden name). I wanted to include an essay because I thought you would appreciate learning more about me.
I am still youngish, a widow, with three children and two grandchildren. Between you and me, grandchildren are better than the originals. LOL, Jaxon is five years old and lives with me; he is now the love of my life.
I graduated at fifteen years old and earned my second degree by twenty-three. I have worked my butt off, and am very proud to say I have been self-sufficient my whole life. UNTIL… Eighteen months ago, I was defrauded by an employee of my investment firm. It has financially crippled me, and it has been impossible to recover. I am now on disability, and they got every dime of my life savings. I supplemented my disability income by day trading, flipping Bitcoin, and investing in penny stocks. This has literally put me in poverty standards. I have to beg and borrow to make it through the month. I only have to do it all over again the next month. I have tried to recover on my own. I was making some strides. Then they got me again a few weeks ago. This financial strain has mentally and physically destroyed my body and well-being. I am agoraphobic, OCD, and struggle with depression and severe anxiety.
I was raised privileged and have a very type “A” personality. I never wanted to depend on anyone to provide for me. I had a crappy marriage, I stayed in way too long, and then I met the love of my life. Lance and I were fortunate to have found one another (on Myspace) and got to spend twelve amazing years together. Lance loved me more than anyone or anything in this world. He made me feel special and beyond blessed every single day we had together. Also, we shared a beautiful life together. We traveled and had many amazing adventures, most of which led to seeing our favorite bands. Nirvana was our number one, but Kurt prevented us from seeing them live. “The Toadies” was our favorite band. We also saw The Deftones, Silversun Pickups, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Dead Sara, and many local bands. He was my beautiful blue-eyed boy with a guitar, and I will love him until I die, as he did me.
I have always had a compulsion to help/fix people. It is built into my personality, and I can not change it. I have been on many mission trips. I have a community outreach called “Feed the Need.” I literally have not been in a retail environment in over twelve or thirteen years. Things do not matter to me. I have always been a saver. I have never had a desire to shop. Lance bought all of my clothes except the ones I have ordered online. I would rather help a friend, family member, or stranger than buy something that eventually has no value or meaning.
My room is my one indulgence; I have every toy I have ever owned. I collect hardback books, preferably first editions. John Grisham and Pablo Neruda are my favorite authors. I collect Harry Potter items, Funko Pops, Pokémon cards, plushies, and I have all four Pokémon Monopoly boards. Additionally, I own fifteen or sixteen Monopoly boards and a dozen or two other board games. I have 22 Rubik’s cubes, and I have solved them all. I have three original Furbies. My room is referred to as the “Upstairs Space,” like outer space. It is lit with about 5-6 Nebula/Galaxy lights. Of course, there are also three lava lamps and one big green “Frankenstein’s Monster” lamp.
I have been writing a book, literally, my whole life. Well, I have journaled my whole life, and I have a website (JaxBeachHippie.com) with a blog of personal life experiences and tragedies. Also, what’s cool and fun to do in Jax Beach, promoting local businesses, and my life living. with Lupus SLE, also, pictures of my life and love of my community.
I decided to go back to school because I have had a beautiful life. I have lived my life eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I listen twice as much as I speak. I want to share all I have learned. I have personal life experience of how to have an amazing relationship. This is thanks to my exceptional parents. They have been my example. They have been married for fifty-nine years and are still deeply in love. How to achieve a happy, successful life, full of love, joy, peace, and intimacy. To successfully be an awesome boss lady, a great Mother, and the amazing wife every man wishes they had!
With all of that said, School- I want to go back to earn my Creative writing degree. I also want to publish my book “Everything your Mother never told you” by Christy Walker.
Thanks for your time and attention.
Peace out, Cub Scout. (As Lance would say)
Christy Walker Cercy
