This is my first post on Steemit. I am not sure how well I will be received, but here I go.
My name is Graham. 7 months ago I set out on a journey to explore certain themes like gratitude, manifestation and trust.
I started in Florida in a very dark situation with a family member that led to me being homeless with little promise of getting better.
Making my way to Oregon, I then travelled by bicycle down the west coast of the US. After some months, I am now in southern Mexico. I have made this journey starting with $0 and existing on trust that the universe would provide whatever I needed through people and situations.
The themes I explore are broad and universal. Many people react negatively to me receiving funds from others as they give unconditionally to me so I may continue. Many people are positive and supportive. Most of the time I am existing in a very minimal capacity taking care of basic necessities like food and lodging. Parts of this journey have been spent camping in woods and many times with only a few dollars in my pocket. Living this way is not popular and not always easy but, I have enjoyed all I am learning about giving and gratitude.
Throughout these 7 months many individuals collectively pulled together for me and as a result I have been able to explore gratitude and what it means to receive without expectations.
This is an experiment of sorts. Some will judge me and I know that comes from following an unconventional path. What I feel I am doing is challenging the current paradigm.
I have shared ups and downs, fears, uncertainties and my day to day experiences with others on a human level. I am looking for ways to become more solid and cohesive in this project that is exploring an unconventional approach to homelessness, giving, gratitude, transformation and a number of other themes. I am interested in creating a documentary as well.
My hope is that this introduction of myself on Steemit will be appreciated and I can connect with individuals that I can share with and who will help me evolve my journey into a valuable avenue of exchange that can empower others who may experience what it is to live on the edge of uncertainty.
Thank you for allowing the space to express!
