My Christmas and New Year

My favorite holiday is Christmas because I spend time thinking about my mother and brother. Two years ago I lost my brother, and 18 years ago I lost my mother. I have a big family, and my family loves me, but I choose to be homeless all by myself because I see everyone else doing it.

In 2024 I want to be off these streets and living in my own place. I also want to stop doing bad things like drinking alcohol all the time. I’ve been drinking all by myself for a long time. When I was younger I told myself I wouldn’t be a drunk like my father and my brother. But I became an alcoholic just like they did.
