Everything Is Falling Apart. . .

Aye bro. If you wanna make decent money, apply for qcd. It's union. Starting pay is 18 or 19 and you'll make about 900 plus a week. It may take time to get the job but trust me. Be patient.

You live in l.a.? You're so fucked. Las Vegas turned into l.a. in 4 months.

Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. You're right not to put your faith in the world, but depending on the Creator (not "religion") won't hurt. Might even learn a few things.
