Rebuilding · 9:43pm Aug 31st, 2018
It's been just over 4 weeks since my life underwent a sea change. I won't bore you all with repeating the details but I was literally down to just about nothing.
Then the Magic of Friendship happened.
People texted me, night and day, keeping me moving forward, keeping me from falling into despair. People sent me the locations of local soup kitchens so I stayed fed, they told me where to go for clothing and where I could find shelter. Buoyed up by the support of the friends I made here and elsewhere online, I picked myself up and shrugging off the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" drove myself into my new life. I have taken up arms against my sea of troubles with battle well and truly engaged now.
I am well into rebuilding my life, and I could not have done it without all of you.
My Patreon remains shuttered... for now. It will reopen October 1. I am again writing, but my speed is nothing what it was. I hope to change so I can give my Patrons value for their money. Speaking of money, if you do want to send me a few bucks to help out with things you can. PM me and I'll send you the information you'll need.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
Invictus
Best of luck with rebuilding and thriving!
i'm glad things are looking up. Hope it keeps going forward.
The fact that you have managed to bounce back from this is a testament of your will power. May the Magic of Friendship that started you on your way to recuperation, and your willingness to rebuild, continue to move you forward.
Thanks for the update. This arc of your personal story needs its own resolution.
It's very good to hear things are looking more secure for you. I hope you will reattain your stride in short order.
I'm glad to hear you are slowly building back up again. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but I wish you all the best in finding a new home.
I'm very glad to hear that things are getting better for you again. I don't live in Canada, so I have no idea where to find anything, and I don't have a Parteon account, I'm afraid. I do, however, have a saying that's helped me through some rough times: Hope is never truly gone so long as you remember what hope is.
Don't give up, Penalt, we're all rooting for you.
