Just saved the apartment building calling 911 holy shit. Neighbor fell asleep stoned after leaving something in the pan cooking and smoke was bellowing out the apartment but luckily we heard the fire alarm. Family has been through an apartment fire once already but we were ready and knew the signs.

Raidou wanted to say something to you earlier, but a certain cat got their tongue. - You are correct to feel the way you do. Even if people around you don't appear to understand or care. No one can know the life you are living better than yourself. - I won't say time changes us that much. I think many humans stay close to their same selves throughout life. This isn't a negative statement, but a matter of fact. Your unique attitude is yours alone, so own it. Don't throw it away for anyone not even yourself. - As for financial troubles. I will assume the worst case scenario. Taking care of your mother alone is difficult. Not just trying to make ends meet, but to keep her happy too. More than likely she may feel guilt as well having heavily relied on her son to survive. The emotional strain is what weighs us down the most when faced with challenges. It prevents us from believing there is any hope of accomplishment. - Moving forward is admirable. I give you credit for coming this far in your life. Being where you are now is not something everyone can do. A janitor may seem useless, but stop to consider what we take for granted. With no one to clean or provide us with basic necessities, how many more well-to-do people would be up 'shit creek' right now? - You are doing something many fail to do themselves and that's looking after their basic needs. Basic is basic, however it's the little things that kills us in the end. - Never think less of one who carried many upon their backs. Use the strength within you to lift up not just the world, but yourself. - You will always be a man to your mother and despite this world's standards, there is always someone who can recognize you as good enough! - We hope this lends peace of mind. Raidou crossed paths with another recently who shares the pain of being challenged by his family's struggles. That man felt like the last 12 years of his life might have passed him by because of them constantly relying on his money and emotional support. At times it drove him mad. He never hated his family. He knew where they were coming from. Still, it is difficult to live with others constantly dependent on oneself. - So the man worked hard. He kept his ear low to the ground to find better work where he could. Sometimes the man worked 2 jobs to make ends meet. Eventually he found a middle ground with his parents and his own needs. - Whatever you believe is the best path in your life, just have confidence that you can see this through, friend! - Raidou and I give you our blessings.
