This is a great, well written story.
Put up a place to purchase your coloring books and I'll buy one! Just be sure to accept cryptocurrencies (at least bitcoin !)... Hell, set up shop on OpenBazaar too.
Keep hustling! I worked at a warehouse packing boxes less than a year after I left the military where I was leading and teaching squads of Iraqi troops on combat operations, and sometimes without interpreters since I could speak enough Arabic. It sucks and its demoralizing as hell. Sounds like you're finding your path though!
THANK YOU! i AM going to check out OpenBazaar too! Do they accept Cyprocurrencies?
HOly cow that is amazing that you were in the military! I admire that!
