Shayn Todd

Hello everyone. My name is Shayn Todd. I am twenty nine years old. I just moved into Wilshire Tower, apartment #1007. I use to live in Virginia, but the reason for my move is a long story.
Everyday, my ex-wife would tell me how i needed to get a job. We had our own apartment together but when I lost my job, she was left paying the rent. I would always tell her how much I loved her and how I would go out and find a job. Then I would be able to take care of her the way it should be; that was until I became accustom to staying at home and not having to work. I would always say that I went to look for a job but no one was hiring. I fell in love with the way I was living. I didn't have to wake up and go to work every morning, I had unlimited time to do whatever I wanted, and I had a home to live in. Life was great.
This went on for about a year until my wife decided she would not take it anymore. One day I decided to go to the bar with a couple of my friends to watch the game. When I returned back to the apartment, I noticed that my wife's car was not in the parking lot. I walked into the apartment to find a letter taped to the refrigerator. The letter read, "Dear Shayn, I really love you with all of my heart but I cannot continue to live this life. You don't have a job and you just go out with your friends all the time. I need someone that will be there for me, someone that would be able to provide for me and the family that I plan to have. I am so sorry that I am leaving you, I just know that it is something that I have to do. I hope you have a great life. Love, Jennifer. P.S. Please don't come looking for me. After reading that my heart immediately dropped. I began to cry and lay in devastation. About two or three hours later, I realized that crying was not going to do anything for me. I needed to do something with my life. I called my mother and told her what happened. I asked her if I would be able to stay with her until I found a job and a place to stay. She said that if I found a place to stay, she would pay first and last month's rent. My mother lives nearby but, but Wilshire Towers is the closest, most affordable place I could find. That is how I ended up in Wilshire Towers.
