i am in my own place in the densest place the big city of Seattle offers. i am on my first morning of the biggest dream of my youth. I had abandoned this dream 30 years ago. it has still not fully landed but im feeling feelings deep in my belly. im happy. im happy! even alone. i slept without fear for the first time since Sept 2025. the dreams of the tenderloin and Hell's Kitchen are alive in Capitol Hill. i have a clear western view of the Seattle skyline from my balcony. its a building built for gentrification but the market for tech workers collapsed. its now low income. its pretty nice.

    Thank you honey this gives me hope. I am on my second week and now relying on people in the community. And for real they have kept me alive and fighting with al the help I have been getting. Thank you for showing me this isn't the end. 💜

    Congrats! that's fantastic -- way to go. Glad you have some stability. Know that the urge to have a go-bag in the corner will fade eventually, with time and, if you can afford it, therapy.

    Everyone deserves a safe home. I'm so proud of you for getting there and so sorry you were deprived of one for so long. Enjoy the next chapter of your life!

    Awesome and congratulations! For someone who has also been without a home I know the importance of having one thrilled for. And happy that you have a wonderful view.
