Car Update
Posted 2 weeks agoI hadn't realized it's been nearly a month since I gave my last update on things on here, so I'll get everyone up to speed.
For those who don't already know, my car ended up facing a critical failure and ceased operating. And now that the mechanic has had a look over it, we've discovered what's happened.
The head gasket blew, causing the engine to lose all compression. I would need a brand-new engine to get it running again. Seeing as the vehicle is financially totaled, I gave it back to the bank with a voluntary repossession, which will help against the loan (albeit not entirely) but will also negatively impact my credit score severely.
With the loss of the vehicle comes a different problem: transportation & commuting. I still have a job that I need to get to/from. Thankfully, my area has a pretty good bus system, so I'll be counting on that. However, their information had been jumbled due to some updates in process and I had to revise my schedule not once but twice, forcing me to be utilizing Ubers where the bus can't until that 2nd revision comes into effect.
So now I'll be getting up at 3am every weekday to catch the first busses and be heading home between 4-5pm to catch the last ones. Not ideal, but it's doable. The hardest part as of right now will be adjusting from evening shifts to early morning shifts.
That being said, this whole ordeal is proving to be rather taxing. So I'm just gonna be blunt: I'm gonna need your help if I'm to overcome these circumstances quickly. I'll need any support you can provide to keep finances stable while also saving up for a replacement car so that my life can get back to normal.

[UPDATE] Car Repairs | Help Wanted
Posted a month agoWell, this is an unexpected development. And not for the better.
My car faced an error and went into lockdown to prevent a catastrophic failure. According to the error codes, my car's sensors are thrown out of whack and need a recalibration or even replacement. It's currently in the shop undergoing the inspection and I'm awaiting an update on the damage. But as luck would have it, I can ill-afford any major repairs.
If anyone is able/willing, I could use help from the community to fund the repairs. Without it, I can't go to work. No work means no income, which means unpaid bills, and...yeah. I cannot lose that car--everything we've done until now to get me here would be lost.
Please, help a bugge out.
https://ko-fi.com/tarvoknaak
UPDATE
So I finally got a response from the mechanic. And I'm afraid it's the worst-case scenario: the car is totaled. The engine lost all compression due to a blown head gasket and needs an entirely new engine block to get operating again. I've asked around and I'm making preparations to shift into utilizing the metro for my commute, but it's definitely not ideal in the long-term.
If you're able and willing, I'll need all your help to keep things afloat, at least until I'm able to replace the car. Anything helps.

Why are cars so expensive to maintain?
Posted 6 months agoI'm sure you're all tired of my tangents, so I'll try and keep this one short for you. I'm happy to report that my second job has officially started and seems to be going well so far. It's leaving me to work every day of the week, but the extra income is helpful. But my rotten luck strikes again as my car is in dire need of repairs. It's due for a full inspection, needs an oil change, coolant is leaking... Even with the added income, this isn't something I can cover on my own on such short notice.
I'm doing everything I can on my end to reduce my expenses even further to save up a quick buck. But with the addition of my second job, I no longer have spare time to utilize my side gig. So I'm afraid I have to turn to you, the community, for help. I don't have a price estimate since there's so much to be done all at once. But it's expected to cost a few hundred USD to cover everything, even the immediately needed repairs. If you're able and willing to help out, I would very much appreciate it. I need this to be done soon. I don't even wanna imagine what'll happen if this car gives out because I can't repair it.

Side Gig Disaster (Help Needed)
Posted 8 months agoEverything feels like it's losing control, so I'm afraid I'm in this position to have to be asking.
I recently got sick after taking part in my food delivery side gig to try and earn some extra funds to make ends meet. Upon visiting a doctor, I tested positive for "Influenza Type-H", which is apparently a bacterial strand. This is good because it can be treated using antibiotics rather than simply waiting it out. But the problem is that, by doctor's orders to let the lab get these results combined with letting the antibiotics do their work, I'd been absent from work for about a full week. As I'm sure you can imagine, it dealt a very heavy blow to my paycheck. So I'm sorry to say, but I'm in need of some financial assistance from the community to help me back up from this financial blow. I don't wanna have to rely on turning to this side gig for times like this as it's getting me sick in the first place.
On a different note, I am happy to say that I'm officially picking up a second job to pick up some financial slack. But that work doesn't begin for a few more weeks as it's a seasonal job. So while it should only be temporary, I'll need your help in making ends meet until then. It pains me to have to be asking like this, but I don't really have much choice. In any case, if you're able and willing to help out, my Ko-Fi page is linked below. Thank you in advance for your support and thank you for your time.

Update on Housing Situation
Posted 11 months agoFirst and foremost, I apologize for the delay in this update. I am happy to say that the negotiations havd gone well and I am still safe within my home for the time being.
However, I am stuck in a financial plateau where I can't get ahead of the curve to be making my payments in full and on time. I'm grinding all I can at my day job, working extra on side gigs, searching for a second job, everything. But it's just not enough. And now my day job is in low business between seasons, so my hours have been cut from 40 hours to 30. I can't make due with this!
I'm terribly sorry that I'm having to ask this after all you've already done for me. But I'm afraid I'm still in need of your help. I'm already doing all I can, but I need your help in getting ahead of the curve.
Please help me secure my home.

Red Alert! Support Needed Immediately!
Posted a year agoAs you all heard in my last journal, bills have fallen behind due to the unexpectedly high startup costs. And I'm afraid that includes rent, which is the most expensive bill on my plate. Due to the lack of terms elaborated upon signing the lease, my security deposit was doubled for the lack of a co-signer, but would be split: first 50% covered upfront, whereas the latter would be as a payment plan. The details of this payment plan were never brought to light and is now being asked in full in addition to the past-due rent. And just as I come home sick from work, I see the dreaded notice on my door, asking me to pay up or vacate the property.
I really hate that I have to ask for your help again, especially since you all already put in so much effort to put me in here in the first place. I heavily underestimated things and am actively trying everything I can to pick up the slack needed to make ends meet. But there won't be enough time for that if we're not able to secure the apartment. I don't know how long I actually have as I don't know how strict they are on enforcing these notices. But unless I hear otherwise, I have to assume this is to be taken at face value.
In summary, I have a balance of $1,867 to be paid in full no later than the 15th. So with so much on the plate and so little time to spare, I'm afraid it's all hands on deck for this. Anything that you can do to help, whether it be to donate or spread the word, we cannot let this go to waste after all we've put into it. I am so sorry that it's already falling apart, but I can't keep it together without your help.
Donations can be sent here: https://ko-fi.com/tarvoknaak
UPDATE: I'm only now realizing that it's currently Saturday, so the office is closed on weekends. Negotiations cannot occur until Monday, which will put things to the last possible moment. I'm afraid I've done all I can. It now comes down to all of you to help me secure my home.

Follow-Up Support
Posted a year agoFirstly, I want to thank you all once again for all your support in helping me move into my new home. The relocation has been a success and I've managed to settle in nicely, albeit with little to no supplies or furniture. And while we were able to get me into the house, I'm afraid I've underestimated the costs of independent living, at least as far as start-up costs are concerned. Should I manage to get it all on track, I should be able to handle things from there through careful planning.
However, that's proving harder than I imagined it would be at my current income. And with old debts now hounding me for attention, it's proving nigh-impossible to pull this off alone. Side gigs like DoorDash aren't proving fruitful as I spend more on gas than I end up earning. I'm in no position to be able to ask my work for some kind of raise, which is only given out annually and in minuscule increments. And my expenses are already as low as I can make them without cutting into basic necessities. My only chance of resolving this in my own power is to either acquire a second job or quit my current one for something more profitable. The problem there is that I'm in poor health to handle juggling two jobs. And I actually enjoy working where I'm currently at despite the income shortage. I do have a potential offer on my plate to take in a roommate and cut my expenses in half. But that offer is quite a ways away, not to mention I need to make such preparations to give them a proper place to come to. So I can't rely on that as an option at this time. Personal loans are also off the table and my credit history is still relatively too new to be considered.
So as far as I can see, I'm afraid I'm that I have to turn to all of you for your continued help. I can certainly do whatever I can on my end to try and make ends meet. But I'm barely doing so by a thread on my own since I was so ill-prepared for such an expensive venture. I'd hate to lose this place after you all put in so much to help me get here. However, given the time-sensitive issues that led me here, we had no opportunity to build up such a safety net to lean on. And now this shortage and old debts have come to bite me back, forcing me to take late fees on current payments or even have something unfortunately canceled that I legally can't go without.
So for immediate help, I have to reopen support from all of you. Given how uncertain finances currently are, or more specifically what goals we should aim for, I'm not gonna call for a GoFundMe and/or set a specific goal like the last one. Rather, I'm pulling out my old Ko-Fi Page and will accept donations there. Any help you can provide will be greatly beneficial. I'm sorry for having to ask, but I hope you all know I wouldn't be asking if I didn't feel like I needed it.
If you wish to lend any further support, you can make your contributions on my Ko-Fi page linked here: https://ko-fi.com/tarvoknaak

Posted a year agoFor once in a very long time, I finally bear good news.
We finally made it! I have successfully moved out of the dreadful situation I was living in and into a place all my own. The car is repaired and raring to go. Everything is finally looking brighter. And it's all thanks to you! None of this would've been possible without your help. You all saved me. So, from the very bottom of my heart...
Though the troubles of the past situation are finally behind us, this story is only just beginning. I'll keep donations via PayPal open if anyone wants to lend further support to help me settle in and get some much-needed essentials. I hardly have anything to my name and funds are already running dry for the next two weeks. I've got the stuff I need to get by, but will happily accept further support should you wish to continue helping out.
But once again, thank you all so much for all your help so far. I couldn't have done any of this without you. And I am and will forever be eternally grateful for it.

Disaster Strikes! GoFundMe Update
Posted a year agoI know, I know. A victory short-lived. But it seems there's no rest for the wicked, as they say.
As the final donations roll in, disaster struck: my car engine stopped working. After getting it towed, it is undergoing inspection/repair as I'm typing this. The full damage report is still to be determined, but it appears the engine starter gave out. While a common issue for vehicles to have, it is not a cheap one all the same, eating away at the donations reserved for the apartment's deposit. And time is running out. I am due to be out of this house no later than this Friday, Sept. 6th.
With time running short as it is, I'm opting to reopen donations. However, given that time is a sensitive matter here and that continuing to use GoFundMe has proven to be far more time-consuming than we can afford, I'll now be accepting donations directly through PayPal, allowing for instant transfers to use right away, whether it be for repairs or deposit.
You can help out by continuing to spread the word of this dilemma and/or by donating here: [CLOSED FOR PRIVACY]
This needs to be resolved quickly. Without that car, I'm done for. I'm not able to use Public Transport to get around this great of a distance for work on a regular basis. In addition, all my belongings are already loaded up in that car, so it can't easily just be left alone.
I'm so sorry to have to continue asking this of you, everyone. But you're my only ticket out of this mess now.

GoFundMe COMPLETE!
Posted a year agoYou read that right! I can hardly believe it myself, but we managed to reach our goal of $889 on GoFundMe for my Security Deposit! Thanks to all of you, I'm able to move into a safer place to call my own.
I want to give a special shout-out to
Area-Break especially, whom alone donated a whopping $500 to the cause. I don't think we would've made it this far without you. Truly, with all my heart, thank you. And the same goes to all of you who helped out, whether it be in smaller donations or helping spread the word. I couldn't have done this without your help.
In just a few days, once GoFundMe processes and deposits the funds, I'll be moving out into my new home immediately. I'll give you all an update from there once I'm settled in.

Urgent: Support Axton's Escape to Safety
Posted a year agoAs the name implies, it's time I call in the cavalry. Time is running out and things are escalating quickly.
I found an apartment I got approved of for moving into, but lack the funds to pay the security deposit due to being on COVID Leave last week. And with time running short for me, I'm left with little choice but to call on help from all of you.
I have opened up a GoFundMe page, briefly going over the details of everything's that has transpired and the current standings. All I need is to secure this apartment by paying the Security Deposit and I'll be free from these dangerous people. Any donations will help, no matter how small. If you can't make a donation, then spreading the word will help as well. Time is of the essence here: failure to meet this goal, at best, would leave me homeless. At worst, I'll be hurt or even killed by these people I once called "friends".
No time to waste. Time to pull out all the stops!
tl;dr
I'm reaching out because I'm in a tough situation and need urgent help to escape a dangerous living environment. Every donation, no matter how small, will help me secure a safe place to live—please click the link below to donate or share the link. Thank you so much for your support!

Eviction Update 2
Posted a year agoAs I'm sure you're all aware by now, I'm currently undergoing an eviction from my home. Or at least, I would call it that if that's actually what it's supposed to be called here.
After some much needed legal research, I've learned that all that they've done not legal. I can't say it's illegal, but not legally-binding nor legally-accurate. The circumstances I'm seeing are as follows:
But they repeatedly insist otherwise, even after police intervention. Now while that alone seems promising, as it seems I don't have any time constraints until it's legally filed correctly, there are some other pressing issues that correlate with this. Namely the threats. For those who don't know, I have been receiving threats/demands from the family I live with: once from the father, implied towards damaging my property; and three from the son (the friend who invited me here in the first place), implied towards threatening my well-being complete with follow-ups. And according to the police, nothing can be done about it while I'm living under their roof unless they act upon their threats, in which they can arrest them. Once I move out, I can file restraining orders. While that all seems perfectly understandable, it does still raise the concern that I'm still at risk and have no means to prevent it from happening, everything mentioned being reactive. What has me especially concerned that they'll act upon it is this: just yesterday, I found etchings carved into my door from outside the room.
While it's possibly just a scare tactic to try and force me to abide by his demands, it has me especially worried since he did this to their own property. I think they may be serious about these. If it hasn't been made clear before, it definitely has now. I need to get out of here as soon as possible.
If anyone has space to take me in, even if only for a short time to get my bearings, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm currently living in the Cincinnati/Mason area of Ohio, but am willing to leave; The further away from here, however, the longer it'll take for me to financially prepare for the journey. It pains me to be leaving my current job, but I can't realistically make a living off of it--not on my own. And trying to look for affordable housing hasn't been going my way, either, providing places too expensive for me, too sketchy/dangerous to consider, or have waiting lists far too long to help. I'm starting to see that my only way out is to find someone else to crash with, even if only for a moment.
Please. If you are able to help or know someone who can, please reach out to me ASAP.
After some much needed legal research, I've learned that all that they've done not legal. I can't say it's illegal, but not legally-binding nor legally-accurate. The circumstances I'm seeing are as follows:
They are not landlords. Because of this, I cannot be deemed a Tenant, let alone a Tenant-at-Will (a tenant let into the property without any signed lease agreement). Therefore, in order to make this official, they need to file with the court a Termination of Residency.But they repeatedly insist otherwise, even after police intervention. Now while that alone seems promising, as it seems I don't have any time constraints until it's legally filed correctly, there are some other pressing issues that correlate with this. Namely the threats. For those who don't know, I have been receiving threats/demands from the family I live with: once from the father, implied towards damaging my property; and three from the son (the friend who invited me here in the first place), implied towards threatening my well-being complete with follow-ups. And according to the police, nothing can be done about it while I'm living under their roof unless they act upon their threats, in which they can arrest them. Once I move out, I can file restraining orders. While that all seems perfectly understandable, it does still raise the concern that I'm still at risk and have no means to prevent it from happening, everything mentioned being reactive. What has me especially concerned that they'll act upon it is this: just yesterday, I found etchings carved into my door from outside the room.
D E A DWhile it's possibly just a scare tactic to try and force me to abide by his demands, it has me especially worried since he did this to their own property. I think they may be serious about these. If it hasn't been made clear before, it definitely has now. I need to get out of here as soon as possible.
If anyone has space to take me in, even if only for a short time to get my bearings, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm currently living in the Cincinnati/Mason area of Ohio, but am willing to leave; The further away from here, however, the longer it'll take for me to financially prepare for the journey. It pains me to be leaving my current job, but I can't realistically make a living off of it--not on my own. And trying to look for affordable housing hasn't been going my way, either, providing places too expensive for me, too sketchy/dangerous to consider, or have waiting lists far too long to help. I'm starting to see that my only way out is to find someone else to crash with, even if only for a moment.
Please. If you are able to help or know someone who can, please reach out to me ASAP.
Eviction Update
Posted a year agoAbout one week into the notice and things have already needlessly taken a turn from bad to worse.
Ever since I got the notice, I've been deliberately keeping my head down to avoid further conflict so that I might leave in peace. Now, I've learned that my friend, whom from the moment we met I thought had my back, has turned on me completely out of nowhere. Instead of coming to speak with me about the matter, he plasters a scrawled-out note on my bedroom door, demanding I repay him for the train ticket that brought me here. While that in and of itself is fair as I did intend to repay his kindness for bringing me here, what isn't acceptable is the sheer amount of interest he's randomly applied to it.
And the fact that he had this chicken-scratched to my door rather than talking to me about it just feels cowardly. I've been in here all day, enjoying my day off. Even if not speaking face-to-face, he has my number and can easily call or text me. Hell, I'd even settle for a Discord DM. But this? On top of that, they've cut a whole week off my 30-day time, leaving me now with 16 days remaining as of writing this.
And to make matters worse, he's even written it as a threat, having Exclamation Points drawn all over and even closed it off with...
What's most concerning is that everyone here is prone to violence, my "friend" and his father especially. My "friend" once offered to...make someone disappear for me, for lack of a better phrasing as I'm not even sure I can say that here, going into shockingly scary and vivid detail about doing it. I even know he has a weapon as I've talked him out of using it on himself once or twice. Given that he's has this scary change of heart, I can't say I know this man anymore, let alone what he's capable of...or what he'll do to me if I get on his bad side.
If the eviction wasn't already in place to force me out, this alone would've made me decide to leave voluntarily. But now that I'm effectively in danger by a family of psychopaths...what the actual fuck do I do about this?

I've only been here for about 5 months. The train ticket itself only cost $143 from PA to OH, 20 hour trip.
He's demanding I pay up $500 for the ticket with interest! That's more than 3 times the cost of the ticket!!

"Happy Birthday, here's a 30-Day Notice"
Posted a year agoThe name says it all, so I'll cut to the chase. In my previous journal, I talked about how I was finally in a place where I could rebuild my life. As it turns out, I spoke too soon. Time and time again, the people I'm living with started pointless heated arguments with me over the smallest things, accuse me of things I didn't do, misinterpret things I did do for things that justify their own arguments, invade my privacy, and even threaten me.
Now, in retaliation for simply asking them politely to respect my boundaries and not barge into my room, they have given me a 30-Day Notice. I'm falling right back into square one, and right after things were finally going my way for a change. I can't leave the area altogether without some income, so I have to stay close by for the sake of keeping my day job (unless I find something more profitable). This whittles my odds of relocating down to a minimum, having to find some cheap housing I can magically afford or find a new roommate to move in with locally.
If anyone lives within the general Cincinnati/Mason area and is looking for a roommate, please let me know in my Notes.
On the plus side, if I fail to find a place before I'm thrown out, I have my own car now that I can sleep in (as bad and ill-advised as that is). So no risk of being without some form of shelter, as poor as it might be.
Until then, I feel it necessary to reopen the Ko-Fi page again to allow donations to help. I still have my job, so there's still income. But any extra boost in that will always help. I'm really sorry for having to ask yet again, despite all that's happened before this. I don't want to be in this position any more than the next person. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't believe I would need it. Please and thank you.
Happy fucking birthday to me...

I'm okay now
Posted a year agoI'm not dead. Thank you all for your patience.
And more importantly, thank you everyone for your help in keeping my head afloat. No matter how small your contributions, every little bit meant a lot.
So now I bet you're all wondering how I'm doing now...
I found a friend to crash with while I finally get my footing and rebuild my life. And even got myself a profitable job that I actually enjoy working at. I'm finally in a position where I can actually rebuild. I've been going at this for about 1-2 months now and wanted to wait on giving this update until I could confirm this would work out. And so, seeing as you're reading this, things are confirmed to be going well!
I intend to do all I can to ensure things continue to go smoothly. Thank you for bearing with me. And thanks again for all of your support in helping me survive this long.

A Final Call for Help (Update)
Posted a year agoAs I'm sure you're already aware, I'm not in a favorable housing position, being kicked out of it home for reasons that aren't my fault. We finally had Case Management getting started, but everything has fallen flat into the ultimatum.
My roommate is no longer able to make ends meet for himself, let alone me as well. I am given my final eviction date: March 18, 2024.
This is my final call for help... This will determine my fate. You all know the drill by now...

A Call for Help
Posted 2 years agoWell, once again, I'm forced to call on help from the community.
Since my last post, I had some new troubles toiling my mind. For about two weeks, I was self-admitted to a mental health clinic for depression. From this, I learned some new things...both good and bad.
The bad news is that I've officially been estranged from my family. Whilst I was in the clinic, I was told by my extended family that I'm no longer wanted around.
The good news is that the clinic has outpatient services available for someone in my position, including Case Management. For those who don't know, Case Management is effectively calling on a professional to help you find resources for your situation (I.e. affordable housing).
That was until I got a call today. The clinic for my outpatient services won't take my insurance, forcing me to pay out-of-pocket if I'm to continue services with them. So I can't rely on them for help, either.
This brings me back to my "call for help". If anyone within the United States (ideally East Coast) has available space to take me in, please let me know ASAP so that we may discuss the details further.
With this in mind, I'm also reopening my Ko-Fi page for financial assistance. GoFundMe proved to be more trouble than it felt worth, so I won't be using them for such matters again. If you're able and willing to provide any financial aid to help keep me afloat in the meantime, click the link below. As always, any and all donations will be greatly appreciated.

[GoFundMe] Help Me Survive
Posted 2 years agoAs the name implies, I need to find a new place to live. I am being kicked out by my current roommates after some unfortunate circumstances regarding work. Local governments won't help unless I'm out on the streets. Other local housing services have waiting lists upwards of two years time. I can't get out on my own.
If anyone has a spare room available for rent, please let me know.
On that same note, I'd like to update the GoFundMe page I've opened previously. Anyone wanting to contribute will help me make ends meet, keeping my head afloat for a bit longer.

Game Over
Posted 2 years agoWell, unfortunately, we failed to meet the demands. I am no longer permitted to live here and must seek out a new home. There is no hope for salvaging this.
I appreciate everyone's help. I'm sorry that it was all for nothing.
This is game over for me.

Loss
Posted 2 years agoThe loss of a friend is a truly dreadful experience... Your whole world feels like it's turned upside down as you fight to get a grip on the whirlpool of emotions running rampant within.
The loss of
Creature_Unknown is a truly dreadful one...one that has left my mind spiraling as it grasps the reality of it all. The fear of being taken away without a trace like He was... and questions regarding the value of my own life.
If I were to just disappear as he did, would anyone know? Would anyone care?
Seeing as I've no one left to talk to, with everyone wallowing in their own grief, I'm left alone to my own thoughts... I grow increasingly sick of both what happened to my friend...and sick of myself.
We will always remember you, Jacob, for everything you've done for us.
I just wish I could say the same for myself, should I meet the same fate...
I think it's best that I disappear on my own terms for a while. Let myself grieve and cope with the loss...and try...try to recollect myself. He wouldn't want to see me crushing myself like this.
I dunno when I'll return...but for now...
This is goodbye.

A Silent Voice
Posted 2 years agoA Silent Voice has spoken to me. In my heart and mind, it has given me much to think about. After much self-reflection, I think it’s time that I write out my true feelings about my situations. Each message is for a specific person(s) in mind, but is open to all to see the full scope of the personal demons I face. Know that was I say isn’t for the faint of heart, but is a cold-blooded truth. I write this all as both an apology to its intended recipient, but also as a means for me to come to terms with myself--to face my demons and accept my true self. Heed my warning before reading on and know that I understand if this message isn’t for you and/or is too much to bear.
If you’re still here…then let’s begin.
To my roommates, whom have graced me with the opportunity to leave the nest and see the greater world for the first time. You welcomed me into your home and offered me aid in my time of need. I sought out to further my education and to finally begin my life. And in finding a place to call home, you brought me here. You helped me travel farther than I could’ve imagined myself going, from one end of the country to another. So far from home, you gave me a roof over my head and a warm meal on my plate.
And I took advantage of that. In finding security, I became dependent off of your care and support. And when that dependency was ripped away, I felt betrayed and blamed you. You saw I was becoming dependent when I was fully capable of taking care of myself. So you opted to throw me into the deep end. I was so reliant on you that such a slap to the face was the only way to make me snap to my senses and attempt to break from that dependency. Don't get me wrong; I'm scared as hell. But I had no right to be so reliant on your kindness and generosity. It was wrong of me. And no amount of time or money could possibly right these wrongs.
In my recovery, I seek help in finding shelter of my own and truly fend for myself. To some, it might seem like I'm running away from my problems. But in truth, I shouldn't have come here to begin with. I became the root of your problems. The only way to let you two recover is for me to leave. I don't know where I'll go or when. But know that this is the best for all of us. It's time for me to move on.
I'm sorry for hurting you. For unfairly relying on you.
To those I call friends, you all show me an unwavering kindness. A kindness I couldn't possibly be more grateful for. You all shine a light so bright...that I feel unworthy. You show gratitude and affection when I've shown next to none. You give unwavering support when it's undeserved. And to some of you, you've aided me in my times of need, to which I've taken advantage of. You all offer a generosity to which I could never repay.
To all of you, I'm sorry. You give me so much when I have nothing to give in return. And in trying to repay that debt, I place the burden upon myself that some would perceive as ingratitude or selfishness; That I seek attention or clout for my own personal gain. In truth, I don't know why it is that I do this. I tell myself that I do this to connect with people who share a common interest and/or to find connections with people whom truly care or make me happy. But no matter how hard I tell myself this, I can never shake off the uncertainty of my actions; That this is why I feel so undeserving of your friendship. And for all those that I've hurt and all the wrongs, am I truly deserving of friendship? Am I truly deserving of happiness?
To those I once called friends, I opened my heart to you. Tried connecting with you. In my darkest moments, I turned to you to find light in my life again. I placed a heavy burden upon you...one that I had no right to share. In seeking your help, I only hurt you, making you see the ugly side of me...and make it all that there is to me. I admit I am a shattered mess. I'm childish. I'm slow to learn. And worse still, I don't know any better. In seeking companionship, I became a parasite and leeched off you. I took your happiness and tried to make it my own.
And I can never truly forgive myself for overwhelming you with such heavy burdens. For some of you, it reached the point where enough was enough and we were forced to part ways. And every day, I think about what I could've done differently, hoping there's some way to restore what I've broken. It eats away at me every day. I'm sorry for the unfair burdens I troubled you with.
To my mother, whom I've hurt the most. You are my greatest light...and my greatest shame. We never had a great life together, being raised in the toxic, abusive way we were from my father. But you were always there for me. No matter how far from home I was, you were always by my side. And I never saw that...until it was too late. The harm that I've done to our family, in pushing father to such abusive lengths. A scapegoat I may be...but punishment is what I feel I deserve.
Even in my early years, I leeched off of your wellbeing; a rotten thief trying to fight back. And as I matured, I began to see the error of my ways. In seeing this revelation, my sins return to haunt me, now leaving me leeching on my own wellbeing. Even now, you still try to support me in my endeavors, as undeserving as it may be, with no spite or expectations of anything in return. It's a debt I fear I can never repay, no matter how hard I try.
Thank you for your unwavering support. And I'm sorry for how much I've hurt you. And I'm sorry that you have to help me out so much, knowing I could never fully repay you. But remember this...
I'll always be your little boy.
You'll always be my world.
These are the realities I've come to face. The pain I've endured and inflicted. The demons that I face. I feel as though I could never forgive myself. That I deserve nothing but punishment for the sins I've committed. No friendship, no companionship, no connections...no happiness. Even now, as I look at myself in the mirror...I don't recognize the face staring back at me. I can't look people in the face, even myself. I am at war with myself. I often find myself asking question, like "Am I allowed to ask for forgiveness, despite all the pain I have cause? Should I even be allowed to ask?" I find myself believing that I am undeserving of any happiness that comes into my life.
But A Silent Voice has spoken to me. It tells me that I can find peace. I have to face my demons and accept myself for who I really am. To you all, I write this message. I may not be solely to blame for all that has occurred. But I can no longer shy away from the errors of my ways. No amount of time or money could ever repay the debts I owe or restore what has been broken. I don't know if I deserve to ask for forgiveness. But with all that is laid bare, I can only hope that you still accept me as a person and not a burden.

Posted 2 years agoIt's been a fair bit of time since I've posted anything here. So I figured I'd give you all an update on things.
If you've been following my Twitter, you might have learned that I had recently received an eviction notice from my roommates as a result of being unable to pay rent caused by unfortunate work problems. Months go by and I am growing desperate. Out of what feels like luck, I manage to land a minimum wage job in fast food and can manage to get buy with rent once again. Thanks to this, the eviction is now officially revoked.
HOWEVER...
I'm still in the market for a new home/roommate. I'm overqualified for any work available out here in the countryside; the best I can get is a minimum wage cashier. Nothing from my time in Job Corps has amounted to anything useful so far. I need to find a new home. A new place to work. Somewhere where I can actually make use of my skills/credentials and make a proper living. Where that may take me...who knows? I certainly don't. Whether it's on my own or with another by my side, I need to get a move on with my life.
And so, as a friendly reminder for everyone: my Ko-fi page is open. I'm currently accepting donations to help fund this next adventure. A new home, fresh furnishings, anything to help me make the move go by smoothly. Any support you wish to share, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.

Need help, Need Ko-fi
Posted 3 years agoIt's been a long time since I posted anything, so I do apologize for my inactivity. But I found myself in quite a conundrum. And I need your help.
I am struggling to find a financial footing. Every which way I look, I have critical financial damage to amend. My father is pressuring me into paying him over $1000 for crashing his car during Winter Storm Nathaniel (which is his fault for the fines, since he didn't have insurance), which he could take me to court if I don't pay up. I don't have a bed to sleep on, so I need to buy one so I'm not sleeping on the couch or floor. I have rent & credit card payments due monthly. And this is just scratching the surface.
The reason I bring this up is because I just lost my job for a small mistake I wasn't even made aware of. Now I can't afford any of this. The credit card payments, especially--if I fail to pay those in time, it will damage my credit score. And in doing so, it will ruin my life. I'm trying to make ends meet while I search for a new job, but I fear it won't be enough.
So, for anyone that wants to contribute, I've opened up a Ko-fi page to accept donations. Every little bit helps, so please do consider helping out.
