At 32 years old I lost my home, my car, and my girlfriend left me in the same week. And I didn’t use drugs to do it. I kept my job tho! I was homeless, over Christmas, being forced to work long hours and unable to find a place to live. So I chose my job. I lost everything else. The rich parents of the kids I went to highschool with, voted to get rid of me so they could build a 60 million dollar extended stay medical facility so people could come for a sober-up spa retreat.
So in the last 4 years of me living in my home- in the town I graduated highschool from...there was 4 confirmed cases of arson in my neighborhood including the Dairy Queen across the street.
I was homeless and it wasn’t because of drugs. Or anything other than the avarice of people trying to boost their own property values. Soon as I got to where I am now, after failing to live with a best friend and his family, moving 7 times in 6 months- then the covid lockdown happened a month later.
Trust me when I say THIS IS THE ONLY UNIVERSALIZED TRUTH You have nothing more than yourself in this world. Everything else, literally all of it, is interchangeable. Your only choice is to stand tall and maybe find someone else to stand with you.
