i am in my own place in the densest place the big city of Seattle offers. i am on my first morning of the biggest dream of my youth. I had abandoned this dream 30 years ago. it has still not fully landed but im feeling feelings deep in my belly. im happy. im happy! even alone. i slept without fear for the first time since Sept 2025. the dreams of the tenderloin and Hell’s Kitchen are alive in Capitol Hill. i have a clear western view of the Seattle skyline from my balcony. its a building built for gentrification but the market for tech workers collapsed. its now low income. its pretty nice.
Congrats! that’s fantastic – way to go. Glad you have some stability. Know that the urge to have a go-bag in the corner will fade eventually, with time and, if you can afford it, therapy.
thank you. ive been in counseling since last Sept or I’d be dead already. had 2 psych admits since arriving in Seattle and one in Utah last June.
