I am materially much better at a lot of personal cost, but still lonely. I was a sex worker who was either homeless or staying at a crack house when I wrote those letters. I did the military route and played straight. The military was a huge step up in life. Now I am out but still fucked in the head and back to sex work, it's a tough gig to walk away from. I am also going to a community college, and started my first comic and trying to make sure to update it regularly and not get too depressed or procrastinate.

I never worked in a warehouse but I have held other jobs before, like mail service and janitor work. It's a struggle and I hope you take care of yourself. Reading is a good cheap hobby too, and I don't really watch TV or mass media either because it's so expensive. I don't think writing is a selfish or useless career, the opposite of that. McCarthy's work made me the person I am today and I hope one day I can be the McCarthy to someone else out there.
