So glad you’re addressing this topic, especially leading up to the holidays, which can be quite painful for people who live outside of societal expectations or norms.
I thought for a minute that y'all had lost the point in talking about the Amex lounge at the end. Then I let my second thought, which is how I truly feel, not how I've been programmed to feel, and I am sooooo happy for your glow up. From homelessness to joking about Amex lounges and Forbes. Congratulations to you and your continued success. Keep going!
Due to my single parent's mental health issues, I made safe choices that led to intermittent homelessness throughout high school and early adulthood (1980-86). My sexual partners, peers, and coworkers supported me with meals, a place to rest, and transportation until I could financially support myself through my work. It was a turbulent time, but my queer identity was never an obstacle. Very lucky!
I've been "invisible homeless" since I was 17. I got out at age 25, but got thrown back into it so quickly because my roommate decided to not move in after signing the lease. I couldn't understand WHY I couldn't just make enough to afford to live alone, why I couldn't keep a good job. I'm 35, unpacking the comphet that kept a roof over my head all these years, starting the divorce process. I just got a diagnosis of severe PTSD and Bipolar type 2. The PTSD started at age one, so I've been living in "survival" my entire life without knowing the WHY of it all.
As usual, the interview was great! Mathilde might already be aware of this, but once anyone becomes a U.S. citizen, they will be required to pay taxes in the United States, regardless of where they live. The American tax burden will be unavoidable unless they renounce their U.S. citizenship. Food for thought.
