Passive income vs Residual Income
What is Passive Income VS What is Residual Income? Passive income vs residual income; so, what are they and what is the difference? Passive income is money that you earn without having to put in much effort. This can come from investments, such as dividends from stocks or rental income from property. Residual income, on the other hand, is money that you continue to earn even after you've stopped working. This can come from royalties from books or music, or from Passive Income streams.

The missing piece
I am trying to find something, but I do not know what it is. I feel like something is missing from my life. My soul is craving something deeper and it is making me feel empty inside. I feel like I am lacking passion within. How can you miss something you never had? I can not comprehend that and I want to so bad. I am trying to find something or anything to fill that void in my mind and heart. This temporary feeling does not last long, but I still need to figure out what I am searching for because I feel like I am drowning. I try to reach out to family and friends, but I do not know how to explain the feelings that are reoccurring in my life. My family express their concern; however, they explain to me that they can not help me because they do not know what I am looking for. I look ahead and I am met with a blurred vision. I cannot see anything even though I am blinking rapidly. I am wiping my eyes trying to clear my vision, but it is not working. I am filled with frustration because I can not clear my vision. I want to cry; however, no tears fall from my eyes. I look behind me and I see all the things that I have done in my life. I find a little satisfaction in my memories. They are a security blanket to me. I see all the good, bad, and ugly. All the mistakes and life lessons that I have made are staring me down. The stares are making it harder for me to breathe. The air in my lungs are finding it harder and harder to escape. Frantically, I look to my left and right trying to find something to help the air release. I feel like I am fading away. Everything around me is getting darker. A voice in my head is yelling at me, "Look ahead! Look ahead! Look ahead! LOOK AHEAD!" With the last little bit of energy, I turn my body slowly and I look ahead. The air in my lungs begin to escape my lips and my breathing is returning back to normal. I am walking forward, trying to clear my vision because I want to see what is ahead. As I begin to walk forward, I hear another voice. This voice was different from the last one. It is talking in a slow, deep voice. It is drawing my concentration and attention to it. The voice is calming my nerves. "Just look back because you know what is going to happen. It will not hurt you because you know the outcome of it. Turn back Shanice. Nothing good is ahead of you. You are not missing anything." The hope and curiosity of finding something that I am missing is helping me move forward. Currently, I am still moving forward and I still do not know what I am looking for. My vision is blurry, but I am not giving up. The best part of me is that even though I want to give up, I know that it is not the right thing to do. As I get closer and closer, the blurry vision clears up a little. Even though the unknown scares everything inside of me, I still want to move ahead and figure out what I am missing. This missing piece feels like a choke hold on me and I want to release that feeling. Once I figure out what I am missing, I will be happy. I know this because then will have reached the other side and will get the sense of a completed feeling.

Destiny
Hi this is destiny. You ever felt so alone like you don’t belong anywhere. Well I Felt like that my whole life, you know like no matter how many people are around you still feel alone. Growing up I never really fit in with anyone I was always the weird kid always had problems making connections, I mean I had relationships just never deep ones, you know I never had a best friend, I never had a true boyfriend, I mean I did it but I never really had a deep one. I was bully a lot, and one day at school I had these guys trying to jump me so when I met my boyfriend I felt safe. You know he was a bad boy into selling drugs So when I started dating him the kids left me alone they knew he was dangerous, I honestly only got with him because I felt safe around him. We dated for a while, and while I was dating him the bullying stop. Everyone left me alone because they were scared of him I lost my virginity to him. When I was 16 I went over to his house and you know one thing led to another. Then shortly after that I found out that he got a girl pregnant we broke up. I dropped out of school after that. Growing up we was considered poor. My dad went to prison when I was a baby. My mom struggled after that. My mom had 7 kids before my dad went to prison. He was the provider. My mom never worked before so it hit her hard. She now had to provide for 7 kids on her own. My oldest sister hated Babysiting. She wanted to hung out with her friends. So We was left home alone a lot. We all did are own thing. Most of my Sibling got along they were cool fund of one another then there was me the loner. So the first chance of living home I jumped at it. When I was 18 I went to school to get my GED there I meet this this guy. I thought he was cute I didn't know if he liked me or not but we started hunging out. He told me he liked me. We mess around for a while. So he went to play some ball and left his phone, me being nosy I look at it and saw a text it was from his girlfriend I didn't even know he had a girlfriend I was piss. So when we left I was quite the hole walk. He ask me what wrong I didn't say anything but when he looked at his phone he knew. He text me later trying to explaining how he wanted to tell me be he liked me and didn't want to ruin are Relationship I was so mad how could he not tell me. So later on we meet up on The bleachers when I saw him I just started crying I liked him so most I didn't know what to do he grab/huged me. He ask me how I felt but at that moment I didn't know what to say so I said nothing he got mad at me for not expressing my feeling but what could I say how could you you lead me on for weeks then you get a girlfriend. I want to my room heart broken wishing I had of yelled at him, hit him did something to show him how mad I was. After that I just sat in my room angry at him and angry at myself
