I need more people to understand that telling someone they need to give up every shred of happiness in order to not be homeless - to sacrifice all their hobbies, all their friends, any chance at a relationship/family, and all of their free time, to the point it destroys their overall health, is just a recipe for suicide.
You're not actually getting me to "work harder" every time you punish me in such a manner. You're just increasing the likelihood of me making the final judgement that life isn't worth living anymore.
If I can't afford to live in a van down by the river, let alone a basic-ass studio apartment, despite working anywhere between full-time to 70+ hours a week, then maybe it's time to acknowledge I am not the issue here. Rent inflation is.
I already work a decently paying college job, and it's still not enough. I could eliminate all spending and try to live entirely off ramen noodles, and it still wouldn't be enough. I could sell everything I have (which isn't much) and it still wouldn't be enough. Moving farther out isn't an option because nowhere in my state is currently affordable, and the farther out you go, the less you get paid. I have no kids and no other debts, and it's still not enough.
If the only reason you're able to stay afloat right now is because you were gifted/inherited property, or were able to secure property prior to either the 2008 or 2020 housing crisis, then you're not a better citizen than everyone else, you're just lucky.
I was a minor in 2008. I was homeless multiple times between 2010-2018, prior to finally being able to get my own place, despite still working full-time. (A lot of which had to do with abusive parents and an lying, manipulative ex). And while I had my own apartment prior to the pandemic, and during portions of it, the lack of renter protections meant my landlord tripled my rent without consequence. And when my landlord died (of Covid), everyone who lived there got evicted so that they could up-sell the building into weekly rentals for the super rich tourists.

*laying down staring at the ceiling* do you ever think about how zhang hailou waited decades for zhang qiling to come back to him, after everything he'd prepared for him so that finally the zhang family would give him the respect and recognition he deserved, and now he has no idea if zhang qiling even remembers him anymore

Day 19: Which Character (from books, comics etc. or a possible remake) would you love to see Tom play?
Short Answer: Sometimes it does take a monster to fight a monster...
Longer Ramblings: Under the cut
All my favorite books have already been butchered and buried by Hollywood, so I don’t have anything queued up. But I want to put him in prosthetics and make him some fantasy creature, idk, it would just be different. Maybe another villain/morally ambiguous character.
I know there’s some young adult novels I read in high school that have great ensemble casts, there’s definitely something there (not gonna cry about the fact that the movie got scrapped and the book series will never be finished).
If not fantasy, then just make him a cowboy.
I deserve that at least.
