I have had to be homeless for the past 15 years and this has been the worst crisis I’ve gone thru due to not having very little family support and not having there support and encouragement so my wife and I have been living in our vehicle until we came to SF where it was taken from us which we now live on the street.  My wife and I have been living in our car for the past ten years or so and we have been calling our home and every place we have been we are consistently messed with for sleeping in our home until we came to SF and the took our house away and now we are once again on the streets dealing with the problems of being homeless.

Eight years aog, before I actually embarked on the craziest scariest, most enlightening and profoundly beautiful journey of my life, I had been in the process of trying to find the conclusion of the most stressful and exhausting phase of my, at that point 3 decades on this earth…an epicly long 8 year bout with depression that had me so entrenched in daily agony that in a series of maladjusted attempts at coping: had crank myself suicidal worked my self,body and soul to a state of constant exhaustion and worry that manifested itself in countless teary eyed trips into work.?  My disappointment with how I was in the process of hawking? Off what i saw at the time as the ost potential … time of my life so far.  I had reached a point in my work where neither my pay or sense of purpose was great enough to justify for their …to advance my dying dream of being a chef.  I had burnt through multiple relationship trying to squeeze even the smallest drop of satisfaction to replace the crushing disenchantment with having pushed away or having been pushed away by the majority of my family.  I had some really good friends.  People I know I could still call to this day if the chips were down so to speak.  But when I finally decided-I would not live to see another birthday. If i continued the path I was on.  It was shortly after Jess had shown me footage of her at a protest in Asheville that me realize I could live some  of my deepest dreams someone who would be by my side as I searched and hopefully found the purpose I so deeply desired from life.  When she agreed and we left everything behind when I finally know how it felt to be ??  because I had everything I needed, yet nothing that I can't get and of today, and replaced tomorrow carefree because we knew we had one another and there was nothing that either of us would allow to jeopardize that Because of these lessons…that carefree strata that plucked me out of al the bullshit in my hed and dropped me into the now.  I had finally found gratitude. And that was more than anything, what I had lacked all along.

My worst instant of being in occupied America or the land of Huchin was when my mother inter the spirit world I was left with know living support everyone around me had became a human in the decietval state of my existence.  I can't trust anyone if the two legger.  The sprit world became the more real world to my … Know one could arise in my congisness unless you came to me from the spirit world.  iST NO second chance. NO more lies, might have and their way into my way of life. But in reality I, after this tragedy made my life more full - TRUE Direct, the past is mMORE complete than EVER AND AS life goes on the consequence of making a mistake is less possible because of the ONE way of being deceived is not possible.

My Worst Financial Struggle  12/18/24

In 2020 I started getting sick from a medical condition called an abscess which is a tooth infection that causes poison to seep from one’s teeth.  When it first started getting me sick I thought it was the pills that I was addicted to.  But it wasn’t until I quit cold turkey for a year and a …change that I realized it wasn’t the pill because I kept on getting sick.  For the past few years I could not hold down a job because I would throw up on my way to work, at work and on my way home from work.  I wasn’t able to hold down any food or liquids.  For the past …. Years I’ve been trying to get the proper health care & dental care so that I can return back to working a job & being financially able to take care of my daughter.

I thought i was all bad, but 5 years later its some of the best experiences I’ve ever had.  I’ve been homeless now for ½ decade, wasn’t sure what to expect, and as my hope for a normal life began to fade, a new family emerged who didn’t reject although I’d still like to get off the street, if I have to sell my sou I’d rather beat feet.  Y family out here are realer than those behind 4 walls who fear.
