hi, i'm miles, i'm a nonbinary 25 year old who's been failing at securing employment for roughly 2 years. i was kicked out by my mother in march, have been couchsurfing across the country from alabama to texas to south carolina to new york and now i'm stuck in a bedbug- and mouse-infested shithole of a boarding house in rochester that's about to evict me next month if i don't get hired at this interview on january 2nd.

i don't wanna be too dramatic but like. i'm at my wit's end y'all. my landlord is a bit of a dipshit and i'm having to kiss his ass because my rent assistance was canceled last month and i'm already overdue. i don't have anywhere to readily go except for all the way across the country to seattle, but i'd genuinely like to try and stick it out where i am because i like it in rochester and i'm relatively close to my partner in canada. it's one of the only places i've ever been where it feels like it's worth living there.

i genuinely have no idea what i'm supposed to do. i'm just sort of listless? i don't know what kind of steps i should be taking or preparations i should be making, where to look in my area to prevent myself from becoming homeless, who to talk to, what to say to them, or what help i need in the first place. all i know is that i'm poorer than dirt and that i gotta ask for some cash to cushion myself if things do start spiraling.
