""Down the tubes -- hear that one a lot. People say, "Ah, the country is going down the tubes."
What tubes? Have you seen any tubes? Where are these tubes? And where do they go? And how come there's more than one tube?
It would seem to me, one country, one tube. But is every state all of a sudden have to have its own tube now? One tube is all you need. But a tube that big? Somebody would have seen it by now. "Hey Joey! Get a load of these f****' tubes!"

Glad to hear that there was at least some kind of landing pad at the end of the tube. Under these circumstances, it is always important to acknowledge just how precarious things are. Impose as little as possible on the people who are helping you and never presume upon their goodwill. Be polite and thankful for their assistance but work quickly to put yourself into an independent position.
I have a suggestion. Depending on how your cousin lives, it might be useful to get a job that takes you out of the house when he is usually in. That way he will not feel the burden of putting up with you too much. Working weekends and nightshifts may do the trick and there are benefits like higher compensation too when you work odd hours.
Aside from making money, you also need to think very carefully about how you will spend the money you earn. In order to make things work, you need to be strict with yourself and stick to your priorities. If getting an apartment of your own is the most important goal, then the money cannot be spent on things that you might otherwise want but usually cannot afford.
Be very careful about how you approach work. Much of what you have experienced in school and at home is likely to be repeated at work. There will always be people who just get off from picking on others who are more vulnerable. So be prepared psychologically and remember that no matter what they do or say, you are working towards a better future for yourself.
Throwing that punch was not right. And quite frankly, based on that altercation alone, I can tell you that you will have to watch yourself very carefully from now on if you want to get out of the woods. Material needs are top most priorities now, but there are many things you will have to reflect on.
Do not lose sight of your goals and never give up. |
