humans are awesome when they cooperate and help each other, and also in my opinion when they accomplish anything creative, anything new, an idea, anything. I need to go forward, always have. Towards new.
but you'll find there is not much cooperation in this world and must realize you are on your own. That means basically you can't count on any program or anyone to help you. On your own. That means you must work, and you will.
I remember when I quit school on my 16th birthday, I wrote a very long letter to myself. School was just an impossible task for me, not intellectually, more socially, so I was decided and jumped into life with my little knowledge (but great reading skills). I knew I was on my own. I wrote it down.
Then I was exactly your age when I finally figured I needed to go back to school and started to work towards that. That's actually when my life started.
But homeless is very, very hard on someone, Emily, I tasted some of it and it's a downbound train, you don't want to aim for that. I mean really.
that's also what I meant by a plan... you need to get down to the drawing board and construct yourself, tell yourself: This is what I want to be, this is what I want to do !!! (do write it down for yourself)
And realize there is only you to get there, I mean you're on your own, it's your plan, your life... maybe you will get help, maybe not, don't count on it. You need to want something. The word want is the important one here. You're on your own also means you own yourself.
in clear what I'm saying is you will work, you'll have no choice and it will be much easier elsewhere to find a job, any job, sweep the floor, whatever.
and if ever you end up on the street, I hope you quickly get out of that situation
but you won't if...
you want to
be yourself
