I Am Thankful Everyday

Are you Thankful?

Many people are quick to complain especially in the western world over very little if you ask me.

I was homeless for many years in London, it was not easy but i survived it many did not that is the reality.

I watched many of my homeless friends die of overdoses, get stabbed, die of diseases and more.

The reality of really living on the streets (not in a fucking vehicle or hostal or living on your friends sofa) for a few weeks or months.

It is not the same lifestyle at all.

But actually in the dirt for years is more than most people can cope with in the western world.

While i experienced some rough times i still look back at most of it with fondness as it was one time in my life i was actually free.

I was free while those that shouted abuse at me, spat at me, attacked me for simply being homeless were caught up in the slavery of the system.

Yeah when you are homeless living on the streets you really experience the darkest parts of humanity.

You will be surprised what people will do when they think your nothing and no one they know is watching.

But i also experienced some of the best of humanity as well, when we use to see people giving up their time and resources to help a fellow human down on their luck.

Most people living on the streets do not end up there by choice they are normally trying to escape something or just had some tough breaks and end up there.

Some people just get trapped for many reasons the way out is not always easy to see or aquire.

All that is behind me now and i miss the freedom. 🤣

But i know i am in a good place with a home, family, food in my belly and clothes on my back which makes me 75% richer than most of the world.

It is easy to lose sight of what we have and it is important to remind ourselves what we are grateful for what we can be thankful for even when things are bleak in our lives.

Personally i have struggled with my mood recently because i had a relentless amount of things happening in my personal life that were just not good.

But like all tough times as relentless as it feels at the time will eventually come to an end.

When everything seems to be falling apart that is when you need to be thankful the most i believe.

If you can be thankful when you reach rock bottom in your life then it is so much easier when things are going well.

Be thankful when things are bad and become unstoppable when times are good.

Been catching up on Hive while the dust settles from some learning moments in my life because when we we feel we are losing really we should be learning.

There is a lesson there even if you don't see it right away.

This week my plan is to get completely up to date and recovered ready for focusing my life around Hive and the We Are Alive Tribe.

I have more plans if you visit my project below where i giveaway free crypto just for being involved and have been for sometime now.

This is an amazing statement. Living outside of the system is hard and uncomfortable (speaking from OTHER'S experiences) but it's what the experience of actual freedom is like in an enslaved world. People who think a certain way will be expelled from this "grid" and it's going to be very uncomfortable, but it will finally bring about the experience real freedom, not the artificial "freedom" that we've been sold.

Thanks @ironshield yeah for the most part it was OK really, even though it could be tough, there is true freedom in it.

Whenever London would get to intense i would simply go travel often missing a lot of drama and danger that would build up there.

That is the freedom to be able to just pack up and go anywhere we wanted should we have wished it. I think many people would miss that opportuntity because they were creatures of habit.

Nothing chaining you to any place really, it is easy to disappear being homeless which is it's own freedom when people don't even know you exist even though you are amongst them.

The world most of us live in is a fake freedom, we have phones, we can travel, we can earn, we can spend time recreationally but so do prisoners in a jail.

We are afforded privilages only by the powers to be in the system.

We are all controlled unless we step outside the system, but it is not going to be easy if we do because govenments around the world do not like wild cards.

Community matters no matter what type of life you live that is what i learned and most people have no idea they are not actually free.

Like you say we are sold Artifical Freedom. 😉

I guess I'm guilty along with the thousands who pass by homeless every day and ignore them. It seems to be a problem in so many
countries around the world, except for Switzerland where I'm told there are no homeless. Maybe other countries should learn from Switzerland

I understand it is easy to dismiss strange people when they sitting on the street looking rough often, plus not everyone is approachable and some can even seem scary but even if you don't want to give them anything a simple aknowledgement of their existence can go a long way. 😎

There are ex-service, the mentally ill, people that lost their station in life as well as runaways and abused.

Everyone will have a story sometimes sad and sometimes interesting.

Would be interesting to know what they do in Switzerland that is different. 🤔

Here in the UK in London in particular they would often have a clearout every now and then, a no tolerance approach you either made yourself unseen or got arrested or moved on.

For me when this use to happen i would take the opportunity to just travel around the country.

After awhile though many would drift back till the next clearout.

Sometimes it was good to get out of London and have a change of scenery for me personally cause it could get reaaly tense at times.

Have the best one @livinguktaiwan 😉

I wonder why many stay in London? Big city
people are well known for being cold and unsympathetic, wouldn't they get less support? We see homeless in our little town as well, most hang outside Tesco and co-op. I've bought them a sandwich quite a few times, don't mind doing but I would never give them money

It is simply a numbers game i think to be honest more people there are the better it is if they beg or busk.

For me i just ended up there cause i was passing through London personally i spent most of the time around Oxford Circus area, when i wasn't pestering construction sites around London for cash in hand work.

It beats the alternative when i could get it. 😉

Even slept in a few of them sites not sure i would get away with it these days 🤣

What an irony of life! As it appears, everyone have the bad, ugly and good side of life experiences to tell. I am strength each time I come across others story who have experience more than what I seem to have experienced. I like the fact that you show the thankful spirit which is a lesson to others. #freecomplements

Yes my friend it is easy to think we are the only ones on the rollercoaster of life especially in tough times.

It is important to be positive as we can i like the quote
“Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day.”
Alice Morse Earle

We can all learn from each others experiences and hopefully be wiser and richer for it so better to navigate our own journey.

@oasiskp2 have the best week ahead 😎
