The daily prompt made me think of it, but I used to have so many plans and ideas of things I could do. Ways I’d reform the system. Now I’m just struggling with living day to day beyond even what most people have to, though I’m blessed with a lot of help but social and government aid.
I had an idea for renovating condemned houses where the people who want the houses would contribute time and labor to build it and others houses themselves or do community service of some kind. This would help people without jobs get decent housing. I had a whole plan with regulations and such to to motivate people and reassure others that it was NOT a hand out and it’d be available to everyone who needed a permanent residence.
I had an idea for a large apartment complex for transitional housing fully furnished with sections for the elderly and for college students singles and families and guests too. The first floor would be let out to a grocery store, and a pharmacy and necessary stores. Plus a doctor’s office and a place for DSS to set up a branch. There’d be a child care co-op and a cafeteria where you could buy meals for cost. And a study area for kids with a tutor to help with homework. Jobs would be prioritized for residents and it’d be thirty percent of their income no matter how little. I called it Fahrudeen village.
And I designed apartment complexes and a system of business where everyone made seventy thousand a year no matter what with only the perks and benefits increasing as you went up the ladder with raises that match cost of living increases.
I had so many ideas and was able to do absolutely nothing because of my depression and anxiety. And the fact that I’m poor with only a partial college education. I wish I was rich so I could actually do these things. I wish I was healthy so I could at least take care of myself but life doesn’t always go the way you want it to.
