This is a post i really want to share with you. So every time i visit Charleston i get this overwhelming feeling of oppression and just a negative feeling. It's kinda like a evil feeling. Has anyone felt this before? Just seems like everyone is this city can see right through your soul.

Now this isn't the only place i have this feeling at. I also experienced this at Richmond Virginia. It's just like a evil feeling cannot really explain the full feeling. But makes me kinda feel like someone watching me at all times. If you ever experience this before please share.

Charleston sucks but still I have some awesome memories from there. There some pretty cool sailors that I used to hang around with who lived on boats. That's how I learned I get motion sickness.

I also got arrested for stealing a can of soup there, so that's a thing.

Only two days, then I got out and had to go to court. The judge deferred my case, at least I think that's what it's called. I left Charleston shortly after that. Actually, I think there's a thread about it somewhere on here but this was seven years. Fuck if I know what it's called or where to look lol.

It's super hard to get outta there in my opinion
One of the main reason I was there 7 years, everytime I had had enough I couldn't leave.
I did pretty well there at times don't get me wrong , I had a camp that were 4 random box cars with the tracks pulled up in front and behind them just randomly sitting in the woods lol.
Had 2 sweet houses.
But when I was broke I was pretty screwed.
Kinda like I am here.
I can't make money fast enough here, no soup kitchen so I'm spending money like crazy just to feed me my girl and her son.
Otherwise I would have us on a bus already going somewhere normal

Quick story one time hitchhiking outta Sarasota the department of transportation guy drives up says YOU CANT hitchhike here, blah blah, I just said I think we will wait for someone with authority to tell us that, and we kept hitching while he called state troopers, meanwhile someone drives by and gives us pizza, we are eating it when the trooper arrives, he says we can hitchhike and the DOT prick drives off angry haha. A rare good day in Florida.

Side note: I am just glad for this place where I can share my memories otherwise I would forget them

I had some good times there don't get me wrong, there are awesome ppl there and was a cool punk scene and ppl that would help you out but for the most part it's like Aron said its hard to get out of Florida, especially across the skyway bridge
