Courage

These days I pray for courage.   It's important in order for me to take my journey to where I was meant to be.

For 2 years now my children. And myself and my sickly mother have been trying to find a place to live.   The problem is, the homeowners have reluctance abd reasonable doubt when renting to unmarried couples, or a young family with young children.

I found that to be a complex stereo type.  That is only successful in one thing only, that is driving innocent families to the curb.

My father is a retired longshore man.  We never had a hard time to oay our rent, neither do we have that problem now.

Its changed.  Time has. Surely.  I can't remember ever seeing this much young abled people walking around with mental health problems
more now than ever.  Its not just sad its scary.
