If I lost everything that I own, I’d probably have an emotional break down. I mean, who wouldn’t? However, in the midst of that rock bottom, I’d take stock of what I could do to recover even a small fraction of what I lost. Sure, prized possessions would be gone, but I could at least try to recover some things if I still have a job. Otherwise, I’d have to perform odd jobs and learn new techniques and skills to gain an upper hand against other competitors who have also lost everything. I’d certainly have to reach out to people I know for help getting places farther than local cities, but I’d have to buy a new phone first. Finding food and water that was safe to eat would have to take immediate priority because starving to death is not on the bucket list. Establishing a safe routine would be the next step after finding a safe place to survive the elements and a cooler to preserve packaged foods. A bookbag would be something of a necessity as well to house any extra supplies and clothes that I might be able to afford from whatever jobs I get.
If I found someone to stay with, I imagine I would have pay rent shortly after I start re-establishing myself. If I am really getting good pay, then I would begin to buy myself more clothes than the ones on my back. Maybe I’d be able to afford some shoes because my current shoes would likely be worn to death. It might take several years, but I think I might find a way to bounce back with even a little bit of support. Without support, I’d be in for the fight of my life, but I’m confident I could pull off a win. It would be incredibly difficult, and I’d find myself wanting to quit every step of the way. However, I believe myself to be resilient enough to recover from losing everything
