Debt, credit decrease and the cost of rent has lowered our income into nothing and within a few days, a bounced check cost my family's rent home. It has been four days since I and my family have been evicted from our rented home. We have fallen into the wooden arms of the Wildlife Park in the city we live in. In perfect description, my family and I are now homeless. We plan to continue this life without walls until we can pay back all the debt that has been collected throughout the years and build our credit back up in order for us to gain a home.
Even though it is hard, we have adapted to this way of life in only four days. We had to think out of the "vacation camping" box and entered the knowledge that this tent is going to be our new home.
I ventured out into a hiking trail. I did not realize that it was a biker's trail and further missed the mark that the trail was for advanced biking. You can imagine what it was like for a two hundred pound man walking up and down tall hills, puffing on his electronic cigarette here and there. If I am left alone, my mind wanders into nightmarish relms.
Things are not being said between the others and I, I believe it is because we fear that an instant fight will brew and that is something we will not be able to take on. Fighting amongst each other will increase the stress around here and each of us realize that we will fall. However, it is very annoying to feel that presence of thought without words.
It is hard to adapt, mainly without job security at the moment. Time will tell if things will get better.
