Really i'd like to start where I left off which would be that I was still in Indianapolis. Which I now am not, I have went home to South Bend for now. What happened so far has been somewhat of a blessing in disguise.
I left my friends in Indianapolis because I saw no alternative. My first problem was no plan and I lived there for 2 months. I was paying for a house and an apartment which stretched me pretty thin. Let's just say it wasn't a good idea even with the job I did find. So I decided to come back to South Bend for a semester and clean up back home. I did not give up but I need to be smart. So I donated all my belongings to a charity and rented my house. So that when I move everything is taken care of. My best alternative I thought lol. I might even sell eventually but today is not the day for that. Nor is it smart to do that in such an economy. What I did in Indianapolis was on the principle of less being more fulfilling in life. The emotional attachments we have for objects is sometimes a crutch. I'm not saying with all sentimental objects. There is a problem when you have hundreds of items you are not using at all with no intention of using them in the near future. My heart tells me to let it go and that I no longer need this "stuff". My family says to sell some things which I did in a garage sale but anything not sold was given away. Giving to families in need to me was more important than a dollar. Some people might disagree but anyways, life is calling me to adventure and speak how I feel so I will. My plan is to downsize what I have and organize the leftovers. I felt that I have tripped or fallen slightly but it's what you do after the fall that will invigorate you with new energy to prevail and succeed at what you are trying to accomplish. Most certainly if you try things a certain way and it continues to not work. Don't ever give up but adapt and try doing things in a different way. That is what I must do , continue to strive for helping in many different ways, even those ways you don't see or understand at first. In renting out my house I have met some very interesting people with similar interests. The man of the family is peaceful and loving towards his family as far as I can tell and towards others. Him and his wife also have a very open approach to life much as myself. I am more than happy to rent to them. I am as well most sure we will be friends for a long time. You see in this journey it's not where I go but the people I meet that make it important. The importance is not just to help people, but to see who they are and to help them in opening their hearts not only to others but to themselves as well. I don't plan on staying in South bend for to long. I do hope that I can help some people in need while I am here though. This is now not only the Indianapolis journey but my journey wherever it may be. The road winds long but with sure footing you will prevail.
