The article presents a man named Steve, that’s talks about his period in his 20s when he was avoiding his friends, even though he wanted some company, he was getting lonely when he was getting himself isolated from the world.
Steve was a normal young man from a small town who, unlike his friends ended up in bad living conditions.
Steve ended up living in an illegal property for a while. For one an old friend came by and sees his living situation surrounded by people that take drugs.
He gives Steve a hand to get him out of his living situation. So, he was able to get his own place.
