The Awakening
Description (Dublin Core)
The awakening of the collective; mind, body, soul and the beginning of the end of industrial society - a New World Order
I was living and working casually at a children's outdoor education centre one day I was sitting on my sofa the next I was on the street.
Week 1 - all casuals laid off
Week 2 - All full-time staff cut back to half hours
Week 3 - all staff living on centre given eviction within 72 hours
Week 4 - homelessness and couch surfing
Week 5 - Self Isolation & Family
Week 6 - Family Feuds & Domestic Violence
Week 7 - A run in with Police whilst living out of my Car
Week 8 - My own place new beginnings
Although life has thrown many curveballs I struggle with mental illness and addiction - now the world knows how it is to feel in social isolation - depressed, alone, unmotivated, unwanted, uninspired and ironically for those of us who have lived with mental illness our entire lives are no longer alone in our suffering.
I shaved my head to symbolise being reborn into a new world order - one of hope, health, compassion and understanding with the soul & spirit being central to our livelihood.
