So, a few years ago, we left the Air Force Life to test out the College Student Life. It started out ok but Tim's health problems overcame his ability to continue and our financial health crashed shortly after. That's when we got connected to some of the resources available to veterans. Including housing.
At first, I was just grateful to have a place we could afford that had two toilets and laundry in the unit. But there are a lot of completely dehumanizing strings attached to affordable government housing. As long as I consider the whole situation to be temporary, the horrific parts are more tolerable, but sometimes it feels like we're going to be stuck here forever.
It seems like a familiar place and I guess I've gotten out of it before, but when I'm here, I can never remember how to get out. But there is this fuzzy idea that sometimes life isn't like this.
For today, everything sucks and I hate it. Maybe tomorrow will be different.
