If it happens, it’s gonna be people like Pete Buttigieg, I’m sad to say

We are kinda awesome ngl

It sure did! 🥵

While all that is happening, I hope I’d find a full-time job, of course, but that kind of money would make the journey so much nicer.

I’d finally start making some friends of my own in Chicago instead of not going out because I’m fucking broke. Start letting serendipity play a role in my life again, connecting, following chance to places I never knew I wanted to go to.

I’d start working out and slimming down so I could fit into my clothes again and go back to getting haircuts on the regular. Start becoming me again, the self I want to present to the world and (I suppose I have to say it) to employers.

I would finish furnishing my apartment and treat myself a little no doubt. The rest I’d live on for as long as I could, stretched out by freelancing. ($2k a month plus SNAP benefits would easily cover the basics and a tiny bit of fun every month.)

Starting to understand how people end up living in their cars, let’s just put it that way

I am filled with rage

Do you know what would alleviate at least 95% of my depression? MONEY!!!! I would love to sell my labor to earn some, but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

A lot of homeless people mention a point where no one in their life can help them any longer and I think I may have reached it

I am so sick of this evil world

So much need in the world. I’ve already asked for so much, and I’m embarrassed to ask for more despite the greatness of my need.
