Looking to talk to anyone who is young and homeless. Been watching

Was homeless in NYC for a bit.
Life was not great.

homeless people are usually addicted to drugs, and constantly looking for a way to get high, and being sick constantly because you don't have dope, is a miserable existence

Any reason why I shouldn't think they are actually living a better journey in their life than a guy who has a steady career and a home, but no friends and no real support group?

homeless people have a community, rich white guys really don't

Body lice.
Finding food is a struggle.
Cops will hassle you if you sleep in public in the daytime.
You're worried about being robbed, assaulted or worse if you sleep in public at night.
The "community" are hopeless drug addicts and the mentally ill, it isn't some fairy tale thing where you meet interesting people along the way.
Shelters are fucking nightmares.

Thanks for setting me straight

Guess throwing away my career for a year is a stupid choice

>Life is too easy these days and I'm looking for a challenge or a rather large change in my life
>Thing have gotten so easy these days
>I used to be broke and poor, moved to America and one day made it
>Been glorifying homeless life for the past few months in hope of changing my comfy situation

I was homeless last year in St Paul MN
It wasn't as horrible as one would think, but it certainly wasn't fun

Go backpacking. Go volunteer overseas. Do something like that.

Homelessness is terrible, truly terrible. It took about two years to break all the bad habits and mental triggers I had, and even still I can tell how it's affected my day to day life. It is not fun, it's not an adventure, it's a constant struggle to hold onto your humanity.

>>are we ordering out for Chinese food or pizza tonight kids?

Except I'm alone and only have a career and my own place

What else do I have to take me through this journey?

I'm alone

Was homeless in UK from 19-21.

From personal experience I can say it was fucking shit!

You're still better off than living on the streets.
