Bullshit

Crazy bullshit, this life is. Last year, we were beginning to make plans to get into a camper, saving up some money to commit to a plan of action that would allow us to crush saving up for a house. Fast forward to now, and the camper has allowed us the freedom of not living in my parents basement (again). I've been beaten down, lied to, gaslit, betrayed, made empty promises. I spent four years with a company that forgot I existed. I went from five shifts a week, three managing, down to one shift a week as a cook. People with less seniority than me, people that have been fired, in fact, are working more shifts than me. This is why men kill themselves. Not everyone has this much resilience. I mean, losing everything I own, losing a son, losing another son for a year, moving, across the county, across town... It's almost too much.
