Was homeless at 17 for the better part of 2 years. Tried to kill myself with inhalants many times. Found out the service was taking in meat shields like they were going out of style. Watched thousands die in Iraq and still deal with the guilt and self-destructiveness today. It is getting better, good people found me and chose to love me.
There’s a part of me that does not disagree with the comment, I honestly wanted to die in that place. But it’s so disrespectful to say, and you nailed it.
