Keep Moving Foward

  Hello everyone I wanted to start off by saying I've been in a nasty depression for awhile now, I've been trying to fight it off but it's been bothering me like crazy. A lot is going on mentally and I am having trouble focusing, I feel like I'm wandering around with my head cut off just a body slowly moving while my head sits somewhere. As a homeless woman in Denver I have a few things to say about the situation here, or maybe just one word...that would be ITS A FUCKING MESS I don't even know where to begin to be honest. ill start with the mayor so you guys will have an understanding about what's going to happen in the next two to one month when it comes to the homeless community. Then I'll talk about myself because something has changed and I want y'all up to date I've been busy busy busy this month. Anyway, I wanted to shout out to my English teacher again because of him I'm learning to make my blog pretty and more structured so thank you Mr. O' Leary.

  Okay so before I diss the mayor let's quickly discuss the facts okay, okay so migrant families are coming in droves and buses right to specific shelters because I don't believe many house migrants maybe only two or three which isn't a lot. Most are families with small children and guess what is happening? If you haven't seen a news article or watched the news shame shame. What's happening is most of those migrant families only get up to two weeks or less to stay in those shelters most are now back on the street in this on and off weather. People with kids came because they were told there were resources for them I'm sad to say there aren't enough resources for them it's first come first serve and everything in the winter is booked up. most migrant women and children are on the streets now panhandling for food and shelter which was freely given to another group of people which they are also homeless too but why wasn't the offer also extended to migrants? This city is without any short of justice to watch those families makes me hurt that used to be my grandmother, me, jasmine, shawtqi it hits a spot right in my childhood of when we were homeless being able to relate i only wonder  if they are getting their needs met.

   this paragraph is about the other half of the homeless community non migrants, they were offered a three month stay at a hotel/motel. That includes a case worker and a small stipend I believe, but in one month they will be back on the streets because the mayor didn't put up any fail-safes. He just swept them off the street destroying their tents and means of living and put them up in a hotel till spring where they will be back wandering around to make camps again. The law is still in effect about sweeping up encampments, it's so freaking inhuman to do this both are a vulnerable group both need help yea ones got more privileges but they will soon suffer the same fate. To be back on the Denver streets is dangerous people don't stop for the homeless people when crossing the street I've witnessed 2 hit and runs already it's sickening. Imagine being told all your dreams and resources will come true if you move to this specific city only to find out the case workers are stacked with paperwork, the mayor is an idiot just moving people around like chess pieces, and everyone is assuming that they will find a place to stay. The mayor's little white butt needs to stop with the homeless thing and focus on rent control. That should have been the first thing on his mind nothing else because a lot of those homeless people are people who just sut couldn't pay the rent due to raising prices, and now they can't move out  a shelter unless they are working there are two women in the shelter I was staying at that are over 70 they say they will die there because they can't afford a place they can't leave isn't that fucking sick.

  We can talk about me now okay, I'm doing way better I've decided to take up my friend on their offer on living with them for a month to see how it goes. I'm now officially in wheat ridge right next to Arvada, just a trial for now I would love to live here but we shall see don't rush things iris. Also I'm getting back into activities like working out and music/writing , I did lose my glasses though which sucks because stout says i now have to wait two years before I get another pair(sad face) back to being partially blind and squinting a lot Hooray!! I'm busy I joined a DnD campaign and I have class Tuesday& Thursday from 11-1:45 add 6-9 hours of writing and I'm trying to find a job  while running a blog this is emotional abuse. I remember when I wasn't busy and bored and had nothing, having things to do is the first step in keeping busy and essentially getting off your ass and doing more if you catch my drift. Well that's about it for the month of February I'll be posting on specific days in March but I will keep everyone updated okay and thank you for reading my blog. ♥️
