I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in the Bronx, NYC, NY, USA. The only reason I can even aford an apartment in NYC is because I was homeless and have a psychiatric disability, and eventually was lucky enough to get into a subsidised housing program for people with both qualifications.
Being here 6 years, previously 3 years in an SRO, and 1 year homeless going between the streets of NYC to a drop in center, to a shelter for people with psych disabilities, I have now had 10 years next month to recover from both my disability and the damage being homeless and in the homeless benefit system did to me.
But, it all has been a learning experience. Today I volunteer as a benefits counseler for individuals with psych disabilities, an advocate for the community and individuals at the agency, or what is called systems advocacy, and the political levels.
Currently I am new to paganism and studying Wicca and Druidry. Being a nature lover just living in a large city and a small apartment is difficult. I miss the ocean and the mountains.
There is a large park, 3 largest in NYC, near me with a large upper section of undeveloped woodland. But, you have to be careful going to any out of the way place in NYC, especially alone. Fortunetly I am very aware of all of my surroundings and know how to present myself, and protect myself, in areas that are potentially dangerous. I don't go out as much no a days as I did for the first 20 years in NYC, but that is a part of my illness.
More later.
