Yes, you read the subject line correctly, there are THAT drastic things going on my life right now that it seems a miracle I'm able to keep up at times. For those of you who don't know what's been going on, about a month and a half ago st received a letter from the Housing Authority stating that the program that had been paying for my rental assistance and, abruptly, run out of funds, and that I was no longer eligible for any type of housing assistance as of February 1, 2016. So translation: awesome, I'm going to be homeless on February 1. Fast forward a couple of weeks I spent in a self-destructive, meth'd out haze with the attitude of "fuck it I'm going to be homeless anyway" I received pieces of wonderful information regarding the situation. 1 - AFAN has a grantee on their board that saw the situation that was caused by pulling the housing assistance out from underneath so many families and others that are dependent on that assistance to maintain their homes that they decided they were going to help and they donated enough money to offer me and others in this situation an extension of the program assistance that would stretch out for another year. Once that year is up, however, you're on your own. The other, 2nd option, is that because of the circumstances, the Housing Authority is now offering me and others affected by this their full conventional housing option which would cover my rent entirely in a unit of their choice. So I'm basically stuck now not sure which direction to take or which option to choose. Another option became a possibility today after talking with a good friend of mine who, I believe, would probably be the best roommate ever for me.
This same potential roommate is also the one who approached me last night with an update on the business she is trying to get started. I've never thought I'd be in this position; I always thought I'd be the administrative assistant or assistant manager but never one in a position that I have no found myself in. After she explained the concept of what she wants her new business to be, I couldn't help but get excited because it is regarding something I am VERY familiar and skilled with: social media.
She wants to start a social media marketing company where we take on clients and do their social media for them at cost and make a profit off of that. And that, in my opinion, is sheer genius.
Anyway, after talking about more details and more aspects of what this is going to look like, I made my official statement to her to sign me up for this, that I would absolutely love to be a part of getting this new business venture started and making a big impact with our product we produce. I'm super excited. Nervous, but excited. Nice way to close out 2015. =]
