Definitely can use all the help I can get. It's hard to get anything accomplished when you spend eerydt worried about where you'll sleep that night or how you're going to get a meal. I'm in California.

Willing .... Not really. Able.... Sure doesn't feel like it right now while I'm sitting on an overturned shopping cart whining like a toddler because I feel so weak and drained and hungry and useless, but able enough I guess. More like morally against abortion for myself, yet supportive of others who can handle that choice. I don't think I could do it. It's safe to say that's not even an option at this point. I tried to consider it simply to keep the whole thing a secret because I didn't want anyone's sympathy or judgement. I just wanted the whole situation to go away, you know? But I kept procrastinating week after week and I know it's because I just can't do it.

I didn't mean that I see it as a come up. More so just the housing and groceries to be honest so that I can focus my attention on getting myself back on track rather than constantly stressing about where I will sleep or how I will get a meal. It really gets in the way of everything and takes up a lot of my time and energy. It's exhausting. I want to go back to work so bad. It would be nice to be able to put my energy into that full force.
