This is sad to say, but I truly believe the one thing that motivates me in the mornings (if one can call motivation the act of begrudgingly getting out of bed and readying oneself to take on the day), is my overwhelming (yet unrealized) fear of ending up homeless and living out on the streets! ... I need to discuss this with my therapist! ... I've been on my own for 20+ Years now, and even though this thought was planted in my head by my abusers in an attempt to keep me from leaving, it still haunts the hell out of me in a very unhealthy way!
