19 and living on your own in 2017

in #help8 years ago

Sitting in my friend's room attempting to utilize everything before given up completely. Date is 6/18/2017.
Before I give up you are supposed to reach out for help. That's what all the billboard and posters say at least. I can't spell very well, I'm not too good at talking to people, mostly been by my self throughout my life. My relationship with my family is not spectacular. Then again is anyone's? As most people my age might get the college paid for by there loved ones, a car being bought for them and many more luxurious. There is a darker side to life as many of us face. Challenges many few do not have to deal with, living on there own, wondering when they can afford to pay for there next meal and so on. In 2017 it is not easy to afford the things we could back 30 years ago. Everything costs more and more each day, I am hoping crypto currency does somehow change the lives of the ones who face such difficulties not by there own doing. I myself am one of those people hoping for the world to change. Getting kicked out by a drunk/abusive father makes you wonder how to be a man on your own. When you have no role model to look up too and no friends who care. I always think of one quote "It's only after you are dead do they notice" Speaks volume to me as the ones that say they love you, the friends that say you are a great friend never seem to give you the positive vibes they speak of. Depression leads a toll on my everyday life, mental illness is truly effecting so many of us. I can't tell if we are slowly dying out as a nation/people or I am just the one who seems everything has changed in the world.
