this works whether youre into the gender of the guy you have beef with or not. if youre not into them, youll stop thinking about them as much and you won't be mad anymore. if you are into them though, you keep thinking about them but it's different now

whenever i have beef with some guy i just think 'i wonder if he's thinking about me as much as i think about him' and then it gets a little gay and i feel better

we need to stop equating intelligence with financial gain

'you're so smart but youre too lazy to apply yourself.' 'you have to be stupid to end up homeless.'

NO!

i'm not making bad decisions, and i'm not lazy. i'm doing the best thing for myself and it's fucking hard! i'm making these 'bad' decisions because i'm too smart to let this terrible system i've been born into take advantage of me.

the smart thing when you're being abused, exploited, overworked, and demoralized all the time is to leave the situation. but that isn't an option for a poor person like me, so my attempts to stay away from the things that cause me suffering are seen as laziness.

the one thing that's always been the silver lining in all my years being homeless is the freedom.

freedom is the real american dream

freedom is what was promised to me if i applied myself and worked hard and carved a space for myself in society. but i tried that, and it didn't happen! i found myself in situations more comparable to prison or slavery, and when i spoke up about it i was considered crazy or sensitive. i was unable to keep jobs because it was too psychologically damaging, and not worth the money at all. every day life was triggering trauma responses and draining me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. i saw this happening to the people around me too, who all seemed to accept that there wasn't an alternative, or who put themselves into fantasies of getting rich one day.

i'm not saying homelessness is any easier. it's isolating, and it's difficult, and it's painful, and it's scary. i'm also not saying i'm super smart because i ended up homeless. but, by being true to my values, this is the life i always settle into. and you can't deny the freedom it brings me.

maybe this is all just copium, but my gut instincts have always drawn me in this direction even when consciously i felt like a failure. the more i piece things together, the more i realize this is more or less where i'm supposed to be, and once i start getting a government check i'll finally have some peace and rest in my life.

so yeah. i'm not lazy, i'm not stupid, and neither is any other homeless or impoverished person whether they chose their lifestyle or not.

hey i cant ever get ko fi to accept my card, do you have any other way for people to send you cash? if not i will try again <3

heyy, so youre not the only one who's had issues with ko-fi, so i decided to make a cashapp as well. thanks so much for considering me and trying anyway! if you couldn't figure out ko-fi, here's my cashapp link: $foogriffy

everyone should quit their jobs and become homeless. once the houses are all empty, they can't stop us all from squatting in them

hey everyone, jsyk i did NOT have a total mental breakdown today. it was only a partial mental breakdown.

once again i'm blown away with how much support i got today. yall swooped in fast to help me out. seems i did, in fact, catch a break.

so i managed to pull through and get another tire with pretty minimal hassle. let's hope this one lasts more than a couple months.

i also have enough cash to keep me going for a good while. can't say how long, as it really depends on the day-to-day, but it feels really good to have a bit of a safety net again. i can also take a break from panhandling and take my time finding a new spot.

so, that's a lot of my immediate problems solved, thanks to your generosity! i'm still in the waiting game when it comes to government aid, but i feel a lot less stressed about it for now. it might still be a good idea for me to hit the hospital just so i have zero expenses for as long as i'm in there, since all i'm doing is waiting. we'll see.

but yeah, i can't thank you all enough. i'm gonna get some hot food and chill out

one of the tires i JUST bought popped AGAIN.

if i disappear for a little while, it's probably because i went to the hospital. i really need a fucking break.

to get my determination for disability i have to show up to a physical and mental examination in an office a whole hour away. i'm not sure if i can even make it to that. it's at the end of June, too. i'm gonna be waiting all that time, spending all that money on gas, just to wait even longer and probably get denied again and start the whole process over.

needless to say, i'm not very optimistic about this, but unfortunately it's my only option. i also have to bring in some documents they plan on mailing to me. they have an old address on record and i'm not sure i'll be able to pick up the mail from that place.

they really make it as hard as possible for homeless people to get this done. i don't get it. it seems like this country would rather i just die than give me a break so i can do something with my life. hell, if they actually took care of me i might be motivated to give back and become a 'productive member of society' like i'd planned when i was younger.

anyway, obligatory donation link for if you'd like to support me through this. you've all been really fantastic in helping me survive and limiting the panhandling somewhat. i want this to be temporary, and if i could pay you all back i would without question. i wish being alive didn't cost money, but alas

i wish it didnt take the government ten thousand years to get anything done. i wish they actually wanted to help people instead of just appearing like theyre helping people.

i've actually had the SSA hang up on me multiple times because, despite me answering all the security questions and confirming my identity, they hear my masculine voice and assume i'm trying to commit some kind of fraud.

i feel like i'm fighting a beast beyond my control just to get it to do its damn job.

#i wont make the link big on this one since ive already got another post circulating today #unless tumblr's formatting does smth weird with it #also if anyone has any advice on how to make it so im more likely to get approved lmk

just got kicked out of the best panhandling spot i've ever had by the mcdonalds management due to a customer complaint. all i got today so far is one dollar.

a dozen people are kind and generous to me every day, and it takes just one asshole to ruin the whole thing.

i'm so tired of moving around and avoiding the wave of stigma and hatred against homeless people. i'm just trying to survive out here, man. cops and other homeless people drove me out of the previous spot, and now i don't know where i'm gonna go.

i'm gonna have to spend the day driving around and finding a new spot to sleep and get my cash, but first i need some gas. the prices went up 10 cents recently too.

i'm sorry to ask again, but if you want to support me through this and are able to, please consider donating to my ko-fi. i would greatly appreciate it as it's all i have for today and until i find another option.

#boosting this again today #good morning its raining my tire is flat and id rather still be sleeping
