A young kid who was running from his problems and ended up in a new city, new state.
So It all started with me being homeless, sleeping in my truck at this random waffle house. To the workers I was a foreigner, not knowing what I was doing but I needed a safespot where I could sleep inside my vehicle. The workers use to come outside on their free time confused about my situation; I mean I was a random guy who came out of nowhere sleeping in his truck. They finally started to open up to me but I felt a pull towards this one particular guy. I use to watch from afar not knowing who he was. During that time I was a fish out of water not familiar with the area I was at. I was going back and fourth from spending my days at Big lagoon state park; exploring what all the park had to offer, finding ways to waste time from dying of boredom. At that time I felt like I was at my lowest I've ever been, financially and emotionally. I left my mom's house in Mobile with no guidance on my next steps all I knew was my past was coming back to haunt me and I needed a new start/beginning. I had left everything behind without looking back and started following my intuition which is how I ended up at that particular waffle house. You know the saying "you gotta lose your mind just to find your peace of mind" well I had completely lost mines just acting on impulse. But after I had the chance to grace the presence of this guy and felt the "magnetic pull", It was enough for me to continue to go back to the same spot trying to figure out why I felt this "pull" towards him. I use to sit in my truck watching him from afar analyzing his demeanor/energy trying to get a sense of idea of who he was. Too shy to approach him I just continued to watch and even tried to get his attention by being weird and dancing in the parking lot. After many attempts I felt like he noticed me but we still haven't gotten a chance to officially met yet. One night I built the confidence to go inside the waffle house and there he was working on the grill. I waited for him to see me and notice me and he finally did and asked what I needed and I asked him for a cup of water. Who would've thought that first engagement with him was the start of some deep .
