It has been many years now that I have most of my belongings stuck in boxes. Rents are higher and higher and jobs that pay a living wage are rarer. As a result I've spent the past 6 plus years living in micro studios or renting small rooms. Others may have gone thru this but usually they stick their stuff at their parents place, which I do not have.
I felt it was necessary for someone to write about how many of us live. When you look at the web or magazines, not to even mention movies or TV, as a young person you probably get the impression that everyone lives in large spacious houses. Well, mentalize yourself that it is not the case and what happened to me might happen to you as well.
These boxes have gone Up and down California, storage room to storage room. Some of them ended up thrown away in a small business trash bin with lots of valuable things in them that I simply couldnt afford carrying around anymore. Some boxes got a transatlantic ticket and have ended up with me in Europe, just to be stored under a bed or in a tiny corner of a tiny closet inaccessable under ten other boxes. At first one thinks, hold on, this living situation will be one year at the most. But then a year passes, then two...
I even ended up decorating some of the boxes. Like the one in the picture above designed with a poster from a Siouxsie and the Banshees concert at the Filmore in San Francisco. That was around 2002 which is when I first experienced major unemployment and then years of UNDER-employment.
Well little has changed. So sickening how all this overpopulation and the greed of rich people to hoard more and more for themselves has led us to live like this and with little hope that anything will change.
Remember that stupid 80s song by Richard Darbyshire Living in a box ... Yuuuukkkk!! Heres an incomplete 30 second sound sample. Sing your fate:
