Transcript

Day 6 of homelessness went for me. I'm no longer homeless, by the way. Like, I'm good. I'm safe now. Still struggling financially, but no longer homeless, so a win's a win. Sleeping in da Burger King bathroom, IG. That was fucking stupid. Now people are debating whether or not I have phobias again. Then I went to a laundry mat. Then I got kicked out of the laundry mat because I didn't have money to do my laundry. And I also have two pairs of shoes that do not match. It's all my clothes and everything that I have on me is everything that I own. And I don't like the bluey shirt I'm wearing. But again, it's all I own. And I'm pouring water on my head because it's hot as fuck. It's hot as fuck. And I tried to get this video to a minute, so I can't cut how ugly I looked. Right here. And I went to sleep in a motel property. It was going to be the only motel I could have checked into because of my age, because I'm 19. And I couldn't check into there. But I ended up at an old hotel that I used to stay at. And I slept in this pavilion thing. I don't know what the word is. And my friend ended up picking me up at that night because I didn't have any family who wanted to. But I'm safe. I survived somehow. I'm good now, I'm safe now. Still struggling financially, but no longer homeless, so a win's a win.
