"And it seems like it's worth your time, right? And, by the way, there's actually- the superpower inside of feeling alien is admitting that you might be an alien."

Different day same struggle. I still need to pay my phone bill, the bill for my storage locker, get a room for tonight, and some food. My legs are better but not healed.

Check-in happens at 3pm. It's 11:00am, if a few venmo sales came in the next half hour to book the next place it would be absolutely lovely. I'm exhausted. I'm so tired I feel like I'll fall over, especially with a large portion of my worldly belongings in my messager bag.

I'm still alive, somehow but trying to avoid staying outside all night for the third time in 4 days.

I have $195 right now at 6:23pm Friday June 12th. I need $200 more. I just need to go to bed.

(I tried to book something much less expensive but their airbnb info was incorrect, so try to get plan B.

I woke at 7am Thursday morning and haven't been allowed to lay down since. 3pm is check in everywhere. I need $$$ now so don't pass out.

Last night was windy and freezing. I used a spare pair of pants as a shawl. It was embarrassing and didn't work well. I need help. I need people to care right now. I need sleep more than every other night. I especially need sleep now.

If 10 People put $50 deposits on paintings I could find something, even at weekend prices and eat.

My feet are shredded from walking 15 miles in flip flops. I can't walk anymore.

Except for a humiliating 20 minutes in the lobby of a hotel whose junk fees increased the cost of a room beyond my means, I was out all night. I haven't slept. Everything hurts. Please help me never have another night like that.

It's nearly 3am, I'm cold, Exhausted, and couldn't pay for the hotel because of incidentals deposit. So now $50 short, I had to leave. I'm now in a worse area. Please help me get somewhere, please. Please.

I guess I'm spending another night outside. Alone, outside, in the cold. I was generously given money for a sweater. I don't know where to buy one at 2:30am in Denver, though.

I'll let you have almost any painting I have in storage if you Venmo $300, name, address and top 3 painting choices. I can get it out of storage and ship almost anything tomorrow.
