Who already has had that experience. I can tell you exactly how it feels like. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I had taken some path with an inevitable outcome (Like Anakin once did). Quite the opposite! I was at the cusp of adulthood, and then life swept my proverbial leg, so to speak.
Another way of saying the same is: It’s like getting the rug pulled out from right under you. Whereupon you’re left to wonder, “ Why? ”
Regardless of where I was at in life, I’ve always had some resilience towards certain substances. For one, I’ve got eyes and I could clearly see what it did to others. Besides, finding oneself at one of the lower tiers of life, it comes with the realization: Once the little money you have is gone, it’s gone.
Anyway, the subject of this daily prompt is, what would I do. Well, you just live from one day till the next. Keep your fingers crossed, continue to do your thing. And with a little luck, it will all be over by X-mas. 😉
