I landed on the street in the first place because my dutch passport expired as I was in the middle of job hunting. It was 7 months before I had ID. I had no help from anyone so staying fed I had to learn where you get free food and all the traps of living in Amsterdam...
I literally only just missed out by days from landing a job, and I also only missed out, not long before, landing a job working for the Ethereum branch that was set up there way back at the beginning.
The irony of where it was, is not lost on me ;)
As for the diet, it's not about enjoyment (though I am discovering many things that I may never have ever tried otherwise) - it's about evading the omnipresent threat of severe, and potentially life threatening allergic reactions that just seem to get worse the older I get. I stopped drinking alcohol and energy drinks, in particular, because they clearly both were contributing a lot towards my illness.
I am gonna have to fast today though... I don't know what's triggering this rash and asthma but I'm getting sick to fuckin death of it. It probably is milk.
