i am in my own place in the densest place the big city of Seattle offers. i am on my first morning of the biggest dream of my youth. I had abandoned this dream 30 years ago. it has still not fully landed but im feeling feelings deep in my belly. im happy. im happy! even alone. i slept without fear for the first time since Sept 2025. the dreams of the tenderloin and Hell's Kitchen are alive in Capitol Hill. i have a clear western view of the Seattle skyline from my balcony. its a building built for gentrification but the market for tech workers collapsed. its now low income. its pretty nice.

Thank you honey this gives me hope. I am on my second week and now relying on people in the community. And for real they have kept me alive and fighting with al the help I have been getting. Thank you for showing me this isn't the end. 💜

Congrats! that's fantastic -- way to go. Glad you have some stability. Know that the urge to have a go-bag in the corner will fade eventually, with time and, if you can afford it, therapy.

Awesome and congratulations! For someone who has also been without a home I know the importance of having one thrilled for. And happy that you have a wonderful view.

Everyone deserves a safe home. I'm so proud of you for getting there and so sorry you were deprived of one for so long. Enjoy the next chapter of your life!
