    Currently taking a sabbatical from giving a shit about anything.

    Got assaulted, seriously injured, car got stolen, lost my job working at a non profit helping the homeless, became homeless, spent a year that way, racked up a whole bunch more injuries.

    Managed to qualify for SSDI, got on a bus, rode halfway across the country in horrible agony to find a shithole I can afford to rent, with just the clothes I had on me.

    Its been about a year now, doing my own physical therapy, slowly recovering.

    Can’t afford actual physical therapy, couldn’t get to it anyway.

    Maybe sometime next year I’ll be able to get my glasses replaced.

    Maybe if I get to the point I can walk or use my wrist for more than 10 minutes at a time I’ll look into some kind of remote work… or just make a video game or something.

    How do I deal with it?

    Just keep living, one day at a time.

      If you want to make a video game I’d be willing to help, I’ve started a few and have learned a lot of the ins and outs. I’m partial to godot myself

        Maybe when I can actually use my wrist or sit in a chair for more than 30 minutes without extreme pain…
