Have you ever experienced a business crippling cyber attack? I did 5 years ago, and I can tell you, that it can be a very scary and costly situation. I've also watched 2 other medium to large businesses struggle to survive cyber attacks. The ever-evolving advancements in cyber threats are becoming more difficult to detect and fend off these days and it only takes one cyber attack to bring your business to it's knees.

Salt and Pepper Smiles

My short life has been long,
Littered with the worse pains
And decorated with the brightest joys,
From peach fuzz
To salt and pepper.
From endless energy
To knees that ache unprompted.
My life has been rich
With the diversity of destitution
And unrivaled wealth.
I have lived.
Both discarded and embraced.
With both honor
And regrets.
Efficient memories that remind me
Of the totality of my life,
The fullness of my days.
I smile, genuinely,
Knowing I have experienced the lowest valley,
While most only cherish and strive for the mountaintop;
But I live there too.
A duality only the grown can appreciate.
I have been betrayed
And I have been praised.
My exuberating motivation
Stands on the back of my depression and grief.
My strength is derived from my weakness
Like my leadership is fed
By my submission.
Both self-adoration
And deprecation,
Sometimes
At the same time.

The dichotomy of my days,
Like my salt and pepper,
Are mature
And attractive.
I flunked
And graduated.
A life riddled with failure
And enveloped by achievement.
Broken hearts
And unbridled, unrivaled love.
The embrace of imperfection.
Who wants only joy?
So one dimensional,
So unrelatable.
I wouldn’t trade my pain for a million smiles.
It’s my devastation that make my smiles mean so much more.
I was smart
Now I’m wise.
I ache with loss,
And I flourish with abundance.
I mourn
And celebrate simultaneously.
I am not a one-word answer.
I am not a simple statement.
I am a complicated and brilliant
Run-on sentence with incorrect grammar and bad punctuation.
I quarantine
while never feeling so connected
To the world,
But more importantly
In tune with myself.
I don’t smile in spite of my hurt.
I smile because of it.
I rejoice
What most people detest.
This is why I am complete,
Joyful imperfection.
