How it is now
So far I have been doing really well living without money, it has it's ups and it's downs, more up than downs thankfully. Right now I'm playing a big part in helping to refurb a friends living room. This is taking longer than expected due to unforeseen issues with damp and some other jobs needing more work than anticipated.
Freeloader? |
My host & friends ,the Chris's, have been very patient all things considered and I am very grateful for their hospitality. I am currently in a situation that I never expected to be in. With the refurb taking as long as it has and given the hospitality of my hosts I am left feeling a bit guilty that my presence is causing a strain on their resources. The job is not yet finished though so what do I do?
With no transport and being in a city nowhere else close by to reside safely until I have finished the work. At this point I am unsure how to proceed. It’s a bit of an awkward situation, I don’t want to upset anyone and don’t wish to just leave because the work isn’t finished and truth be told I am enjoying the experience.
I have been made aware others in the local area have accused me of being a “Freeloader” This couldn’t be further from the truth. Just because I don’t live by conventional means and have alternative views doesn’t make me a freeloader. This upset me allot and had a very restless night last night.
I know I shouldn’t care what others think and know that this is people not having a proper comprehension of what I do even when I have spent time explaining to these people. I guess that’s people for you and I have to remember that I do what I do because ,I DO, not because I live my life through others and their expectations of me. Of course i want to do well by others but that is an expectation of myself. I have to judge myself and ensure I do the best I can, however if I am blatantly causing a distress or upset I would hope that that it would be pointed out as a fact.
On the upside I am getting involved in something very soon that could help change this situation and enable me to finish the work here and not have to be a strain on anyone. I will update if/when the situation changes.
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Chris’s for their support, you guys have been awesome and it won’t be forgotten.
