well , still . you can get sick out there , that's
            the last thing i want . and that flimsy jacket
            isn't nearly enough warmth .

@bunniespearls          i'm   not   gonna  get   frostbite—   that  doesn't  happen  often.   'm  gonna   be   okay.      

it's too cold to be out there . you get cold
            enough , you get frostbite ! and you get
            sick !

aw , you flatter me .    * he slightly waved
            him off . *     but yeah . that's pretty much
            how i got the nickname .

@bunniespearls         i  think   so    too.    bunnies   are   cute.  and   you're    cute,  so  it    works.  

took me a long time to appreciate them . i
            used to get bullied for it . but now i think
            they suit me .

i work for the most part so i'm mostly there ,
            but , i dunno . i just go wherever my legs
            lead me . i like sitting in parks , though . i
            think it's nice .

@bunniespearls           yeah?  where  all  ..  do  you  normally   go?

i mean , i'm pretty much everywhere , so . i
            just like going places . 

uh - huh . . feel y' there . . 

@-rhatty-           it's   just  cold.   and   'm  tired.   worst  combo,  i  guess. 

yea , but y're literally shakin' worse than m' , an' y' look worse , too .

@bunniespearls            it  was  something  with  like,    my  hours  being  wrong  or  whatever.  but  it  kinda   left  me  stuck  out  in  the  cold.  ):

well , i'm glad i could help . some jobs seem
            to have an issue with that . winter is
            definitely a complicated time of the year .

@bunniespearls          i  normally  get  a  room  during  the  winter  but  i  didn't  get  paid  this  week  yet.  so,   it  wasn't  ...  yeah.  but   you  kinda   came  and  saved  the   day.

.         BUT  THATS  NOT  HERE  OR   THERE 
                  riley    was  alone,   freezing,  and  homeless.  but   it  was  better  than  the  environment  he  had  grown  up  in.    he  knew  that  to  be  true.   he  would   take  years  on  the  streets  before  he  ever  thought  about  asking   his  aunt  for  help  ever    again. 
            in  and  out  of  dodgy  motels,   sleeping  on  park  benches,   it  was  his  normal.  he  was   okay  with  that.   anything  beats   going   home. 

.       WHEN  IM  TOO   PHASED 
                 he  moved   out  when  he  was   18.   after  years  of altercations   in  his  aunts  house,   he  decided  he  couldn't   take  it   anymore.   so  he  left.   moved  to  a  new  city,  started  new.   but  who  knew  that  new  was  so  hard?   he  was homeless,    with  a  bag  of  clothes  and  a  high   school  diploma to  his  name.   where  did  he  even begin? 
            he  stayed  on  the  streets   of   minneapolis,  eventually   finding   a  job  at a  local   record  store.   he  worked  days  there,  then  worked  nights  at   the  mcdonald's  down  the  street.   he  was  living,  but  at  what   cost?
