Ah man… these sketchy types hanging around and doing weird shit all the time are really messing with my head -_-
The things they do are ‘petty’ and the things they steal are low value but I’ve gone back to having nightmares about break ins and struggling to sleep.
spoiler
There have been many break in attempts over the years while I’ve been home and I once chased an intruder out of my house. I’ve also faced a shitload of harassment/unprovoked aggression.It’s a shame that moving probably wouldn’t be the answer (though I’m still trying) because junkies/cooked people seem to be a problem everywhere in Melbourne now.
I prefer to keep to myself and mind my own but one day I’d like to fix my health and get absolutely jacked/strong so I could feel more confident in defending myself if need be.
Yeah, I don’t like my sketch collective either. Shame, because where I LIVE is great. It’s just the volume of sketchy shit.
There’s no easy answer, sorry Melbs
Yup. The actual place can be good but the people can make it unliveable.
This is why we can’t have nice things
