Chronically Unstable: Essays From The Edge

Chronically Unstable: Essays from the Edge offers real-world perspectives on what life on the streets actually feels like—beyond the headlines, beyond the charity brochures, beyond whatever sanitized version people think they understand. These essays take you straight into the lived reality: the cold asphalt mornings, the paranoia that becomes second nature, the small kindnesses that mean everything, the bureaucratic hellscapes, the grief that stacks up like unpaid bills, the friendships forged in survival, and the constant pressure of being one bad moment away from losing everything again.

It’s not a shock-value collection and it’s not a pity piece. It’s truth. Gritty, complicated, human truth from someone who’s been inside the mess and knows how to translate it without glorifying or censoring it. If you’ve been there, you’ll see yourself on every page. If you haven’t, you’ll finally get a glimpse of what the streets really take—and what they unexpectedly give back.
