Nowhere to go
5 years ago
I've found myself in a pretty difficult situation. The lease on my current residence is expired and they are kicking me out tomorrow at noon. I've been searching for a new place to live for the last month and a half and I've been beat out of every application I've attempted to collect. The housing market is so hostile and competitive right now in this town that I've been denied by every single place I've tried to find within my range of affordability, mostly because of the influx of college students.
My twin sister is able to host me for a week at most, but her situation with having a newborn child and a lack of space gives me very little options.. this means that if I cannot find residence in this town, I will be forced to give up my job (which has been the best place I've ever worked) and most likely either move out-of-state or back to a bigger city where I could find a new job... until then, I wont be able to set up my desktop, which means I probably wont be able to draw every day like I do now.. drawing is the one thing in my life I'd wish to never give up.. it's the one thing that keeps me sane aside from my wonderful boyfriend who lives on the other side of the world. I'm so thankful he's been here every moment of difficulty I've encountered through all this shit.
Things are gonna just suck for a while no matter what.
The situation is fucking terrible.

Oh wow... I am sorry to hear that and I hope you will still find a place to stay/live. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

OP
I appreciate it. I'm trying to look at it as maybe an opportunity to find a better place to live more permanently. I've lived in so many different places now, I've grown tired of the routine. Hopefully this is the point I can say will be the last time..
