Where it all began

2yrs ago (pretty much today) I was in the middle of my 15 month shit storm where I was lonely, jobless, carless, broke, had no direction, had just broken up with GF and was a couple of days away from being homeless and this great man took me in.
No questions.
No judgement.
No pressure.
No need to give his opinion.
How long till I got back on my feet? To him it was “no worries”.
If you’ve ever been in a shit place, these traits can be valuable.
There was a comfort/safety living with the big fella that I hadn’t had and for the first time in 8 months I felt I could finally breathe.
A chance to breathe and work out how the fuck I was going to dig myself out of the hole I’d got myself into it...
I didn’t need pressure from anyone.
I’d already put enough pressure on myself to come up with answers and was feeling so much shame for where I was at.
Being in a shit place is bad enough.
Being in a shit place when your environment isn’t ideal = fucking horrible.
The best bit....
Wiz (our longest family friend of 33yrs) isn’t some kind of coach.
While he dabbles in personal development it’s not really his ‘thing’....
He just lives life in a non judgemental way that will forever be etched in my mind as one of the most important periods and lessons of my life.
