Domestication requires a Domicile
Hey Friends, Strangers, and helpful lovlies,
My Name is Laura.
Here's a list of places I have lived:
Boiler rooms,
Bridges,
Couches,
Tents,
A Box truck,
Inside a horse Trailer,
various small rooms in random houses,
friends sometimes opened their houses,
I had one apartment ever for a year.
What you will see missing from this list is any place that was truly my own.
Not one of them felt like an actual Home.
I set out last year and gave up a life I loved to find actual domesticated security.
I took alot of steps to seek this- and now I have a big leap to make.
Currently I am on a pretty ok sublease, but its about to end.
I have found a house for Rent, It has 3 bedrooms two bathrooms, and feels like home before I even have any of myself in it.
I'll admit, I should have done a better job in forward thinking, and tried to save what little of my two job income I have surplus after bills and rent.
I didn't. I am pretty mad at myself to even ask this of anyone.
Having only ever rented an apartment, I figured I could get this down payment through loans or excessive extra work.
I did not realize that loans are something of the past (mostly)
That finding third and fourth jobs would make my schedule so full I would forget how to breath sometimes.
The First and Deposit payment will be a Total of
$4,200
I worked hard, scrounged and tried for grants, I got it down to $3,150.
The idea here is that if you donate- I intend fully to pay you back.
*It will probably take time, but I don't want free money here. I intend to pay you back.
I would like to be able to make this payment quickly, so I can domesticate in a domicile.
Further, I am sorry to ask. Thank you for even reading.
