Not sick enough
« on: January 08, 2017, 05:40:14 am »
Too 'not anything enough'

I've fallen through the cracks. Not queer enough for my local AIDS council, too queer for my local poz hets, too able to get a pension, too disabled to get a labouring job. My 'new' qualifications are too old. If I do volunteer work then I'm too busy to be looking for paid work. I have no idea where to turn anymore.

I'm not depressed, I just can't find a future to place myself in.

Hey Harley,
Sorry your job didn't work out, but there are others that may suit you better.
From what you described it sounded pretty intense.
I don't know how old you are, but I think I'm a little older, doesn't matter.

We are too old to be young and way too young to be old !!!
Things will all work out.

Best, Wade
