A couple of months ago, before I left my apartment to go on this adventure, it seemed like a good idea for me to do this. I was excited about it after all that i've been going through lately. I needed something to look forward to.
However, I sometimes get depressed when I think about how lost I feel right now. My identity was based on having a permanent place to live, and now I don't even know what to tell people when they ask where I live.
I already had two people ask if I was homeless. I'm not even full time yet and my "house" won't be ready for a couple of weeks, so I do go places during the day and only slept outside once so far and already feel lost. I'm doubting that this is for me now and wondering if I'm even cut out for this.
I already made the decision, so I am going with it. However, I haven't told to many people for fear of their reactions and so on. I feel strange and different and extremely abnormal.
I can't even seem to put into words how I feel right now. I guess you can say I'm "homeless by choice" right now but still homeless nonetheless, but I lie and tell people I'm not. (I do have places to stay but no permanent address.)
My fear of being homeless has a lot to do with the stigma society has placed on homeless people I think. I never thought I would become one of them even if I did choose this and wasn't exactly forced to do this.
