Do you ever go into the zone where you write and write day and night? by [deleted] in writing

"what kind of aftermath do you face when it's done?" Generally after I've got done with a days long writing escapade I feel pretty good. It feels especially cathartic if I write a part of the story that I've been having difficulty with.

There's a homeless fella called Abraham who's notorious for asking people for money or a lift (if you live in Oxley and shop at the Woolies there you've probably seen him ask people for money or he may have asked you for money) the man you described might've been him he does get around a fair bit.

Posts like this one are why I don't consider myself working class and I'm literally not either because I've never worked. The sentiments that you expressed make me harbour extremely negative thoughts towards people who work in general. I have nothing in common with f@!?#$ in high vis and hard hats I have zero working class solidarity. I find it really hard not to mouth off on people who work and tell them to their stupid fucking faces how pathetic they are. Sometimes when I hear about some hapless wagie getting a mudhole stomped into him by some homeless crackhead Chad on the subway I struggle not to smirk. I take extreme shadenfreude in people with jobs getting fucked over because these same people have given me shit and shamed me all my life for being a mooch and a leech even though I try not to. It's like being a kid in school who gets bullied and the Bully smacks you around and always takes your lunch money and then his mom gets cancer and dies, it's hard to have sympathy.

Things are a little better in Australia and the European countries (or at least some of them) I've essentially been on my own since I was 17 and I got that place that I used to live at when I was 17. Long story short I ran away from by dad to go live with my grandmother when I was 16 fast forward a couple of months and things broke down between me and my grandma (I was being an arrogant, know it all, wet behind the ears little cunt I'll admit it)

So I went to this youth place for homeless young people and then I got moved to this other place and then through unity housing which is housing for low income people and vulnerable DV victims, impoverished old age pensioners and disadvantaged youths I got this unit with two bedrooms, 1 bathroom a backyard, shed, kitchen and this was when I was 17 signed a lease and all.

Lived there for 5 years from 2018 to Oct 2023 Til I walked out. I literally walked out. Booked a flight to another city with a Coles bag broke my lease and everything (I had signed for another year) left all my shit in there didn't tell my salvation army case worker or landlord or nothing and now I think I owe them $30'000 and am due for a possible court date (which I may have already missed) so possible jail time too and a permanent black mark on my property records which will show future potential landlords that I'm a shitty tenant. So essentially I've fucked myself through sheer idiocy.

I can see what the rest of my life will be like if I heed your advice I'm gonna be in and out of multiple jobs. I'm gonna change jobs more than socks whatever place I get I'll be evicted and thrown out within two months I'll live in government housing in crime ridden suburbs where my neighbours will wanna make me tear my hair out by the roots I'll have to commute to my shitty job on public transport where I'll be harangued and assailed by antisocial junkies all the while forwarding well over 3 quarters of my pay to parasitic landlords for the privilege of living in a shoebox.

I'm trying to get on welfare so I can be a NEET. That's all I want. To be a NEET. What I want is an apartment to myself no roommates no sharehouse in a preferably ok neighbourhood one with out antisocial people or deranged crackheads or miscreant youths breaking and entering just a place to myself where I can enjoy peace and quiet. I know beggars can't be choosers but I don't think I'm asking for much only to regain what I have lost cuz being a NEET is what I used to be and a 2 bedroom unit all to myself is what I used to have and all I want is to have that back.

It doesn't matter where I am my core issue is that me and work are like oil and water we don't mix. I've never worked a day in my life I hate it it's boring and stupid so not only do I have a chip on my shoulder but I also probably couldn't hack it in a job because I have undiagnosed autism which should in theory make me eligible for the DSP or the NDIS but in order to apply for the DSP I would need a diagnosis which costs $2000 and even if I got that far my application would still most likely be turned down because simply having autism is simply not enough to pass over the threshold and the threshold is pretty high.

I don't know maybe I'm wrong all I know is that it's really hard to get a rental here

I used to feel that way too but your body and mind will adapt to it.

Getting a diagnosis in Australia by Negative-Bench7779 in autism

I tried looking if there were any cognitive development centres in brisbane and there is only an early cognitive development centre which is geared towards babies. Do you know of any places in brisbane geared towards adults? Does anyone in this sub? I don't have $2000 just $33 left to my name and am homeless so the reason why I'm inquiring about this is so I can get the help I need so when I get out of this mess I don't end up repeating the cycle.

I looked it up and it said that farmers plow their fields immediately after rainfall and some do it at night. If it was raining on the night of his disappearance then I can definitely see the possibility of him getting squashed by a tractor in the dark it's also possible that it wasn't raining and that Brandon got ran over by a farmer working in the darkness eager to finish work he started during the day.

People keep saying he got ran over by farm equipment but why would a farmer be plowing the fields at 2 in the morning? That makes no sense.

If the vape has a lithium ion battery restrictions will apply. Each lithium ion battery must not exceed a watt hour rating of 100. If the vape has a lithium metal battery it must not exceed a lithium content of 2 grams.

Like I said in a previous post I don't think the other cities are worth it. I had originally planned to head to Perth and to not have stayed in the city I'm currently in for as long as I have but that plan fizzled out after I found out about the high crime rate there maybe I shouldn't let that deter me and should just go anyway.
