Okay...a nice little reprieve, but always with that undertow. What horror lurks for this sweet and wonderful girl who just wants a normal, peaceful life? First, the grouch Mr. D, now the handsome dark-haired, blue-eyed interested seemingly okay boy. But you've taught us not to trust anything.
The poem at the beginning is so dark but excellent. Very eye-opening to your soul. Well done.
In the first sentence of the small font, two steps forward, one step....'back' was omitted by mistake.
Another interest-piquing chapter. You have the best knack for building blocks so gradually that we don't realize how quickly we're being swept along. That takes writing chops. xo

Lea, Sweetie, you do not have to thank me for being your friend. You're a really wonderful person. Only a moron wouldn't want to be friends with you. xoxo

Your memory is serving you well. You're beginning to recall even the smallest details, like the conversation between you and the dark haired guy. Even though you've lived a tough life, it has been a life filled with all sorts of adventures and horrors.
Your final author note should be edited. A new reader will not understand what you are trying to say.
"The story is from an autobile (autobiography)
Should you wish to read, please note sun. Chapters (Please note some chapters)
Chapters are difficult to digest reader the question is advised. (Some chapters are difficult to digest (the remainder of the sentence is unclear).

Comment from CrystieCookie999
Even though you were working hard at applying for jobs, this feels like a relief or a rest stop at the end, with a young man who was more friendly than aggressive. It seems to serve as reminder that life is normal more often than not. I liked this nearly last paragraph a lot, but I was going to point out a few little fixes in a minor rewrite to make it stand out.
I gazed out the window as we drove along, watching the sunset tease the horizon with golds, pinks, orange and finally red. Succumbing to the drop, the sun made one last blast of color, shining under the clouds before slipping into slumber. It was tranquil...not a feeling I'm used to, but it brought me a smile just the same.

I can see in your head here. You must be wary of trusting anyone. Which is so sad when he might be a perfectly innocent person who has no ulterior motive. Fingers crossed. x

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Lea,
I almost feel like I may have missed a chapter, but I don't know how. I know that you met an Oriental woman and she offered you a place to stay. I guess I didn't realize you were going to be sleeping on a concrete bed-the other option being the floor. I think it would be trying to be staying at the home of someone of a completely different culture. I'm not sure I could do it, but as the saying goes, any port in a storm. I hope that things continue to improve, as you seem to be making some progress in getting a handle on your life.
I think if we're honest with ourselves, most of us question our sanity at times. We've been led to believe, through TV or books or movies that life can be perfect and without challenges, and when we discover that it's not true, we wonder if we're the problem. You've had an enormous amount to deal with in your life, problems that most of us have never encountered. Every day that you awaken and take a breath is a good day. I don't think a life without problems exists, but how we view and deal with those problems can make or break us. You're a survivor gal. Well done.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This sounds like the most optimistic post I have read so far Lea. Not that I expect you to just write an optimistic tale, we want to hear the truth, but I am just glad that things seem to be looking up for you at last. I also know that life can keep throwing hard balls when we are not looking though. Another fine chapter Lea, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

This post was calmer. I am wondering if this is the calm before the storm. I am guessing so. Thank you for sharing.
The next morning I woke with (The following morning and a comma after morning)
Oh shit!" He exclaimed. (lower case 'h' on 'he')
"Oh, yes please." I answered. (comma after please,")
I sat down with my coke and waited. (you can omit 'down' it's understood)
Not correcting the rest of the dialogue

Thank you again. I shall do a little self toughest as well. Try get this under control. I have gotten some help and i'm learning well thank you again!

I write novels and actually writing the story is easy. It's the editing that's the hardest part. Of course, I write romance, your story is much different, so I'm sure writing is hard too. The editing is what many publishers look at. Of course, you can self-publish, but you'll struggle with marketing.
-
Thank you so much. I appreciate you're exactly right. You're worthless and important and I have read some of your work too I think that you're an amazing writer and you're where you're at for a reason because you are so anything you have to say to me is like gold. Thank you again.!
-
Thank you. I have 5 published books. Another one should be out in January. It's been through 3 editors and is now ready for me to okay it, but I'm finding additional errors, so it may have to go through another editing.
-
I believe that that makes sense. I wanted to be perfect even if I can't make it so. I think that with your advice and others I will get there thank you again!

I know you will.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is sounding much better now. And do I assume that those raised voiced didn't result in your eviction? It's a lovely read after all the trauma you've suffered and the start of an affirmation that not all human life is to be avoided...I hope:) As ever, I always welcome your fine nature descriptions which so perfectly capture the glow of optimism and beauty that can never be extinguished. Take care, Lea! Debbie x

You tell your life story really well, Lea, in a really engaging way. I really can't imagine the trials you've been through. Another excellent chapter, it was really engaging.
