Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to talk into the void today and I have a lot on my mind. Worst case scenario I get ignored.

So I work security for a large retail chain. I'm the guy that wears a casual outfit and catches shoplifters. I'm also the guy that pulls video for car accidents, Injuries, and various crimes commited on premises such as assault or fraud and reports it. Its genuinely a great job and I enjoy clocking in every day. Ive helped deter theft enough to where every day is kinda quiet and boring. Love my boss and coworkers, love my benefits, pay isn't anything special but I am comfortable.

As for me, I'm 27, no real education on paper. I moved across the US four years ago, away from every relative I have. I've almost been homeless multiple times, fought drugs and mental health too. I'm stable, sober, and on my own now for the first time in my life and no longer feel the panic of being in survival mode.…
