I miss feeling like I have control over my health. I'm slowly starting the proccess of breaking down, and it sucks.

IAJO163 replies on Apr 19, 2019:

You have to come to grips with it because although there are many ads out saying that you can feel great or revitalize, they're all BS. Aging is something we ALL have to face. Try smiling at everything. It lends a different perspective.

D.C. housed the homeless in upscale apartments. It hasn’t gone as planned.

Granted. It's a part of daily life for me and I'm acquainted with quite a few of the homeless and I've watched how the mentality works for over 10 years and it is tough to change. They like their lives and don't really desire change. so why try? Some make it back to society but most prefer the indigent lifestyle.
