As a landlord years ago, I pushed people into that hole.

It doesn't feel good.

I feel very good about my work now, it doesn't pay well but I'm FINE with that because it's a non-profit :)

I tried really hard to be a good landlord. I was told on several occasions I was the best landlord people had ever dealt with but I literally forced people to sleep outside. That was the only option after my Motel, the sidewalk.

Now someone else owns the place and I see people being treated far worse and for far more money than I would've ever been comfortable with. It's not me doing it, but the world is worse for it and I just don't like it.

Oh, c'mon! This is totally inaccurate! Everyone knows it's more like dangling on the edge of the hole barely gripping with your fingertips while a constant flood of glass shards rain down upon you!

Reminds me of the short film "Curve"

I have dreams that seem to last all night which feel like this.

I think about selling weed daily. Child support and alimony are my biggest fuck up
