So Yeah, I Got Evicted
Not edited.
Honestly it’s something I’m not proud to say, but life works in weird ways. After my parent’s divorce I ended up living with my father, finding myself in a condo that he payed the rent for while I was looking for a job. Well I finally found that job, but about a month too late.
And what sucks the most is how bad I feel for my roommate. Together we were living in Ohio together, kickin’ ass in our own condo and gettin’ shit done. We both really liked the freedom of living on our own, having people over when we wanted, gaming until the sun came up and having somebody crashed on our couch every night.
But the real world found me, and I derailed the gravy-train for Steven and I, to which I feel pretty bad about. Not to mention the financial burden I put on the people around me, my parents especially. But I’m trying to shrug it off sure, but I think the stupider lesson would be to not learn something from it. Obviously I feel like shit about the whole process, but it’s something that my actions will help speak louder than anything I can say at this point.
But the good thing to come out of this is the obvious reduction in possessions. I mean, I’ve been looking for a cathartic purge for a while now, and having to take everything out of your house that’s important to you in a month’s time is just that. And cut off a few weekends with work and weddings and you’ve basically got a few car-trips to take everything you want and need.
It’s actually pretty nice.
But at the end of the day I’m happy to still have a place to sleep. I can honestly say that Kristine’s been an enormous fountain of strength for me. She’s pushing me to follow up and complete things, has been there for me to help cope with all of this, and just plain been there to help me get shit from A to B. Plus my brother’s wedding, and she still rolls around like a rock star. God damn do I feel like the luckiest guy for getting to be with a woman like her.

sucky situation to find yourself in, but sometimes it takes a jolt like this to make ya re-think things and make decisions. many times in my life its taken having a rug yanked out from underneath me to get me on a different path.
“God damn do I feel like the luckiest guy for getting to be a woman like her.”
Missing a word, or am I missing something here?
Well Dan, I don’t really feel bad about the situation of actually having to leave. Like I said, I feel the worst for putting everyone around me in this situation, y’know? My family and friends have all been strained one way or the other with this. But I’m hoping that jolt will help but some ease up the people around me, and I do find the right path.
Yeah Ry, I missed a word. It’s corrected now.
