Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 4

In part 3, M. and me cleaned the house to his normal state. We found out that B. had been in the house on his own for the past two weeks. M. knocked on his door and found out that he was still drunk even though we left him the night and the day to sober up. What happened.

M walked out of the bedroom in shock and went downstairs in the garden. He opened the bin and said to ,e:

M: ''He was still drunk, I need to know what happened in this house.''
I: ''Was he?''. '
M: There were drinks all over the bedroom and onto the floor. 
I: Really?

We opened the bin. We put some gloves on. We emptied it.
We started to categorise what we found
We found

  • beers can - Stella Artois was the favourite brand.
  • bottle of JD
  • Wine bottle - red, white, pink
  • Plates
  • Cutlery
  • Chicken Wings
  • Pizza
  • Chips
We filled 7 recycling bags with bottles and cans.
The content of those containers had filtered through his body.

I: '' But What happened for him to go from gentle to out of control?''

We were soon to find out.

Ambivalent feelings about staying or leaving

Do you want to stay in one place and be rooted to ground yourself in a specific environment? Do you want to be leaving and go to different places to elevate yourself? Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..

Why help makes the best glue

Published on Thoughful I am five years old. I’m in my bedroom with my coloured pencils and colouring book. Opening the book, I grab a pencil and start colouring. And then, it happens—the thing that always happens to kids my age. I simply cannot stay inside the lines. I am frustrated. It is SO FRUSTRATING! Crying out for my mum to save me from this colouring disaster, she opens the door. “What’s wrong?” “Help!” She sits next to me. She takes a pencil. She shows me how to do it. “Stay calm, take a deep breath, and move the pencil around the edges of the picture, like this,” she explains. I watch her carefully. I follow her instructions. I fail a few times. And then, like magic, I am no longer going outside the lines. I am a colouring genius. And all it took was one word—help. It has taken me a couple of decades, some academic research and a little reminiscing to get to this simple truth… that in a weird way, help is like glue. When something is broken, vexingly incomplete, help is the b...
