        Bro if you don’t believe me look up the story of how the velcro patent happened or rather who the patent came from, his name is Tay’ Taylor Paul and none of his background makes sense.

        Genuinely, you’re welcome to DM, neighbor. I’ve been through similar challenges (houselessness, et al), and am willing to be a compassionate ear, if that helps in any way. ✊🏼

          Oh I’ve been homeless before, years ago. Thank you though <3 Half of my 20s after escaping an abusive relationship. But this is a lot different this time around and I’m not doing too well. And it’s driving me insane because of both how it happened but also how simple a fix it is in comparison to all the shit I hear around the world. Like I keep seeing shit about people throwing money after money at whatever, whether from the rich all the way down to people just being able to buy games that are coming out and I’m here freaking out over less than half of a thousand dollars. Just a reminder of a life I’ll never have. That’s what’s killing me.

            I hear you, and want you to know that, sincerely. For all the similarities in my experience (late teens, abusive home/childhood), and current perspectives & circumstances, I can only imagine what you’re going through every day — but please know that the clutch maneuver is to do that: go through it. You are not your experiences, and you can endure. Trust. ✊🏼

            If you’d like to take this chat off-forum, you’re welcome to. If you’d prefer to keep it public for others’ benefit, etc., I’m chill with that, too.
