Form my perspective, if they can strategize maximizing income, that will eventually lead to them getting a job. I don’t carry cash, which is why I take them to eat, but when I do, I just didn’t know where it would go.
If what you’re saying is true, I’ll then reconsider.
I’m on the fence about giving money to homeless people on the streets, but am all for donating to / volunteering for organizations that help them.
My reason starts with how organized and strategic they can be. For example, I was waiting at a bus stop downtown and there were three homeless people planning out which intersections they were splitting to next and how they were going to divide the total afterwards.
Second example in downtown. There’s a guy begging for food in the mall, so I take him to the nearest food stand, we both order a meal, and eat at a table. He was talking about his plan to get off the streets and all and went back to refill his drink after eating. During that time, I went to the cashier for something and she told me he’s with a few others that come back pretty regularly. When we get back to the table, he then tells me that he needs $10 for a place to stay for the night and then leads me to the nearest atm. Once we’re there, I tell him everything the cashier told me and he doesn’t say anything with an “ok you caught me look”. I still give him the money even though he knows that I know he’ll be back doing the same thing.
I know this is is not the case for all homeless people, such as the meal I had with one with mental disabilities, but it’s a mixed bag. Just do what you can and don’t feel bad if you can’t.
Have a clear set of long-term goals for yourself, ie career, where you want to live, and what you want to be. Set deadlines for each with steps on how to do it.
It’s time to start building the rest of your life. It won’t be easy but you’ll be doing it for you, so make it worthwhile.
Because my mom wants me to.

Thanks for the support. I know it isn’t going to be easy for me and that I’ll have to work my butt off for I don’t know how long, but if I can pull it off, I’ll be so happy with myself. I’ll see what happens in due time. If all else fails after everything I’ve done, I’ll cry, laugh and say that I at least tried my best.
My week has been going alright. I pitched an idea to my boss earlier this week and it’s been okay’d, but I kinda regret it, due to the extra work with no increase in pay. I don’t know if I want to do this, but it’s already too late.
On the plus side, the hot water is finally working in my shower, which is nice.
Mine has been going alright. I learned that I need to work on my conversational skills. I just don’t know how because when discussing topics in my head it flows easily, but when trying to say my thoughts out loud, I just blank out.
I know I wasn’t all like this when I was younger, but now I need to pause after each word to come up with this sentence.
So, I’ll try being more active in commenting instead of lurking to help my words flow.
Thank you for sharing. I can’t say, I know what you’ve been through, but I felt it. Thank you again for sharing the experience. I greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate you for taking the effort in your response. The playlist was a new experience for me and I wish you the best.
Mine has been alright. A few minor inconveniences, but they’re over now. That is all.
Work has been stressful due to the social politics
This week has been a rollercoaster for me due to work, but everything should be easing down now. Nothing else has been going on, but I’ll try to do something this weekend.
It’s a Nissan Kicks SV, compact crossover, 122hp/FWD. I also chose it for storing my luggage when moving or traveling.
I do like the noise it makes when accelerating and it reminds me of a small dog barking at something 5x it’s size. The car feels light and smooth when driving, as well. I’m heading in that direction so, if you have any suggestions, let me know.
I just purchased my first car today. I’ve never needed a car before because paying for Uber was cheaper, but now with my new job, transportation costs will be lower with a car.
I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I’ve heard about the stress that comes with driving, but never experienced it with a brand new car that I just purchased.
I’m also trying to find a good name for the car, but it should come to me in due time. Overall, I think it’s worth it and that I’ll hopefully feel less stressed the more I drive.
Holidays are going well. Visited NYC but spent more money than I expected, though. Also spent some time with my relatives, which was nice. Will be heading back to work for new year’s Eve, but that’s fine. Overall, it was a nice and fun trip.
Also visited a coin shop to add to my collection.
My week has had it’s ups and downs. The down is that I’m still sick and can barely sleep due to coughing every fifteen minutes. The major up though is that the company I interviewed for two weeks ago called and told me they’d like me to come on board with them, which I’m excited for.
My week is starting off pretty good. I feel like a different person. I’ve got new plans for my life and have accepted the world that I live in. After all the hardship I’ve been through, I think that time has finally passed. I just need to flow with the river of life and see where it takes me.
Not much. Just went grocery shopping and relaxed in the pool. It’s been raining for the past two weeks, but today was sunny, and it was perfect. I don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow, since there’s a chance of rain, but if it’s still sunny when I wake up, I’ll head on the new trail by my place.
I also liked what you were listening to. Jazz is underrated imo.
