[0:01]so it's Wednesday April

[0:03]2nd early 9:30 in the

[0:08]morning I'm going to talk about what

[0:11]real vulnerability looks

[0:13]like on the edge of

[0:16]collapse both structural and not

[0:24]personal just woke up I made some coffee

[0:26]here I'm going to drink my coffee and

[0:29]then I'm going to head out to the to the

[0:31]beach and Trace the waves this morning

[0:33]CU couldn't do that

[0:36]yesterday I think I'll enjoy it

[0:44]so

[0:54]okay so I'm feeling the tension this

[0:56]morning

[1:00]of the situation that I'm

[1:02]in

[1:04]precarious on the

[1:07]surface but only on the

[1:10]surface so I have to Friday morning and

[1:13]then I have to

[1:15]move I have $100 to my

[1:18]name I'm going to go to the National

[1:20]Force uh campgrounds are $20 a night

[1:23]there I need to find the one that's

[1:25]closest to where I am now I'm at Beverly

[1:28]Beach I don't know which which National

[1:30]Force Camp runs are in the area but I

[1:32]know that there are a couple dozen of

[1:34]them on the coast in this region so

[1:37]should be able to find

[1:40]one I might need to pay for it with a

[1:42]credit card you know recreation.gov so I

[1:45]might need to spend a little bit of the

[1:47]money I have to get a one of those

[1:50]temporary credit cards that you buy a

[1:53]store cuz my bank account is with the

[1:56]bank that's not on the coast there's no

[1:58]way for me to deposit the money that

[1:59]that way so I can't use that card and I

[2:02]actually have a different situation with

[2:03]that I'll share in a

[2:06]minute so I need to do that today and

[2:09]that's important I need to figure out

[2:10]which Campground I'm going to find out

[2:12]if uh there's availability there get a

[2:16]feel for what the avability is like at

[2:18]these

[2:19]places cuz things might get more

[2:22]difficult as the weeks and months start

[2:24]to pass as we get closer to Summer

[2:30]these campgrounds

[2:33]are um it's basically it's dry docking

[2:36]because

[2:37]there's no water no

[2:40]power it means changing the way I

[2:45]live not excited about it I won pretend

[2:48]to be excited about it but I do think

[2:51]it's important and I think it's

[2:52]necessary

[2:56]and I'll navigate it

[3:00]with

[3:03]Integrity with Clear

[3:08]Sight that's more than I can say about

[3:10]most people

[3:16]truly there's a little bit of

[3:18]fear this is natural this is hardly

[3:25]surprising just

[3:27]trepidation The Closer I Get to You

[3:31]Friday morning no more I'm going to feel

[3:37]it

[3:39]so I was really hopeful that someone in

[3:42]my audience would want to help

[3:44]me going to acknowledge this

[3:51]now but I'm truly on my

[3:56]own that's what it feels like feel very

[3:58]isolated

[4:04]unsupported not just financially but

[4:08]psychically

[4:10]emotionally

[4:13]intellectually no one reaches

[4:18]out but I also know and I'm sure of this

[4:22]it is not a reflection of

[4:24]me it's a reflection of other people

[4:32]because they can watch my life they can

[4:34]witness it and do nothing with

[4:36]that that's not about me that's about

[4:42]them and so I'm not going to internalize

[4:45]it I'm going to recognize it for what it

[4:50]is and so what I think I need to do is

[4:53]keep trying to build a different kind of

[4:54]audience one that

[4:57]resonates one that feels more align with

[5:00]me so I did something yesterday last

[5:03]night sort of

[5:04]test write a poem on a shorts video my

[5:09]first shorts that I've ever posted

[5:10]besides one other that's just about when

[5:12]I first got some of my

[5:18]earrings it's about being unbreakable

[5:20]while still being

[5:21]vulnerable and it was viewed 600 times

[5:26]the first couple of hours it was posted

[5:28]and it got zero likes zero

[5:31]attention and this doesn't surprise me

[5:39]either not seeking

[5:41]validation

[5:44]Comfort anything like that what I'm

[5:46]seeking is

[5:47]resonance and I'm sending out signal

[5:53]flares waiting to

[5:56]see who actually responds to them

[6:00]and right now I'm being met with

[6:04]silence and I'm not going to interpret

[6:06]what that silence means because I don't

[6:10]know but I'm going to assume that it has

[6:12]a

[6:14]purpose and that Clarity will come with

[6:16]time so I'll leave it there for now the

[6:19]other thing I want to document is I

[6:21]tried

[6:23]to get my guru.com profile going again

[6:26]so that I could look for freelance work

[6:28]on there I had to validate my identity

[6:31]on there because it had been quite a

[6:32]long time since I used my account there

[6:34]were like eight different steps did all

[6:37]of them then got to the very last one

[6:40]and before it will submit your ID

[6:43]verification it ask you to allow a

[6:46]temporary charge on your credit

[6:48]card as a final step so I give them my

[6:51]bank account information they try to

[6:53]make the charge it doesn't go through I

[6:55]check why it's because it's for $9 they

[6:58]wanted to charge my card $9 temporary

[7:00]charge but still that's quite a lot of

[7:02]money for for this and cuz I don't have

[7:07]it in my bank account it couldn't go

[7:08]through I can't verify my identity I

[7:10]can't look for work on there nice

[7:12]situation to be in I emailed them about

[7:15]this their support and they say there's

[7:16]nothing they can do this is how it's

[7:20]done

[7:22]so contemplating

[7:25]that have not been this poor in a very

[7:27]long time in my life

[7:35]but this to is not a reflection of me

[7:37]because my worth is not determined by

[7:39]this I know a lot of people think

[7:41]differently these

[7:42]days I gave up way more money than most

[7:45]people ever

[7:46]make

[7:48]because it was a hollow

[7:52]existence it was killing

[7:56]me it was

[8:00]stripping away everything that matters

[8:03]and people make that compromise all the

[8:05]time every single

[8:11]day yeah I'm not explaining myself

[8:14]anymore I know what I'm doing I know

[8:17]what I'm creating I know what I'm

[8:18]building I know where I'm going I just

[8:20]don't know how I'm getting

[8:25]there but I will get there

Summary

rswfire documents his current financial situation on Wednesday morning, April 2nd, with $100 remaining and needing to move from Beverly Beach by Friday morning. He describes his plan to relocate to National Forest campgrounds at $20 per night, acknowledging the challenges of dry camping without water or power.

He shares practical obstacles including needing a temporary credit card for recreation.gov bookings since his bank has no coastal branches. He attempted to reactivate his Guru.com freelance profile but was blocked by a $9 identity verification charge he cannot afford.

rswfire reflects on feeling isolated and unsupported by his audience, noting that a recent poetry shorts video received 600 views but zero engagement. He frames this isolation not as a personal failing but as a reflection of others' capacity to witness without responding.

He emphasizes his commitment to navigating this transition with integrity and clear sight, acknowledging natural fear and trepidation while maintaining certainty about his direction despite uncertainty about the path forward.
