Because volunteering at this homeless shelter changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life, it didn’t take me that long to figure out that it was an experience that happened to shape the person I…

place I called home every summer since I could remember when I was little. A place that seemed so harmless to me because I spent most of my younger years living there with my grandparents never imagining I would be surprised to change my opinion.

I degenerate into a disgusting combination of sweat, spilled alcohol and vomit. I drink to remove my pain I deal with every day and it make me happy for a while.
