I've been abandoned  Left alone  No one here to help me. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere Watching time Like a show that never changes... Each day feels the same No matter what I do I'm on my own Here waiting for the uncertain.

I woke early to find another day No change to the routine Of these many months.

Monday, February 16, 2026 It's another Monday. I'm still stuck in this place. I walked to a few places today: Tropical smoothie Cafe, Circle k, and Taco Bell. I have a senior roommate that goes to bed before 8 and makes so much noise in bed including kicking and hitting the wall. He also smells horrible because he never showers. He makes the room stink. I have no one to and I'm on my own here. I can go walk to nearby places but there's nothing to walk to nearby except fast food places etc... My caseworkers don't tell me anything.

I found a ride to church today. It rained most of the day. I was at my friend's house when it snowed. I've stayed at his house a couple of times so far and I'm staying there again this weekend. I hate being here in the middle of nowhere. I don't know what to think about my situation. My DSS caseworker is no longer my caseworker and her supervisor is now my caseworker. She just told me they're understaffed so I'm thinking I'm going to be forgotten about. I've been told so many things while I've been in DSS custody that I don't know what to believe. I plan to go somewhere t...
