Homeless? Embrace your freedom and enjoy the ride!

I just discovered that I'm homeless. I have found that home because I started talking differently than it did before. Deposits started to plan bathroom was different than before. My eating habits changed. My hygiene habits changed. Everything changed, but not necessarily for the worse.

So I am speaking differently. I find myself saying things like "are you sure it's okay", and "I hope I'm on the way" and "do not worry, I'll find a job soon" and "I appreciate that let me stay here, "and" Until I got fired, I had a perfect life, "and" I'm waiting for a response on an apartment lease I'm thinking, "and so on. You say things you do not say if you were in your own home and taking care of your own self. You say these things to bring shame and what you can extend that stay for one more day - a week - if you're lucky, a month!


And then there are the trips to the bathroom. These trips have to be well planned, after all, you do not want to be stinky their hosts of their own home. Therefore, to use the bathroom when they are at home and work around your schedule. But then comes the weekend. And there is no work around any program - they are at home, to stay. That's where games come in. If fart before stool, light a match. So, here's the poop. From the moment he falls in the water to wash! Time either because they want the scent to linger in the bathroom. And if there's more of that in the first set is, guess what, you have to clean again and again. Can not these friendly hosts bathroom stink! What do you think, you live there or something! Now, use the air freshener if any of those smells escaped vulgar scheduled download. Do not forget to wash your hands. Not that anyone thinks it unclean. So, wash, wash, wash and off you go. Now, in case you were disappointed or had his head in the ass or something, it will shake you awake. You leave the bathroom and your host is there, waiting to make a simple question. And if you were in your situation, you probably have the same same question in his mind. Your host wants to know what was going on with all the washing and waste of your water. You are reminded that water bills are not cheap and water bills that have already too much for them to handle. Your host is even if at this time, maybe the sharp increase in your water bill is due to water loss. Now remember, you have not been there so long. But your host insists that water and electricity (yes, has added another utility) increased sharply from recent. Do you have a question about your situation?

Now you know that you dare not turn the electric stove to cook anything. Do not even think about using the microwave! You eat out. All meals are eaten outside.
If a sharp increase in the consumption of water from the mere use of the toilet cistern, can you imagine what would happen if you took a shower in a minute? Therefore, their showers need to be very short, and especially weekends.

So you acknowledge their homeless situation. You do not have a permanent place of residence. You do not have a mailing address. Are moving from one place to another. You are not sleeping on the streets, but no home.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel without roof. All you feel may be experienced with joy and laughter and real, real appreciation. Not about spending welcome. Buy a postcard every now and again and send it to their hosts to let them know what is right and what they are doing, and what are your plans for the future. Contact them during the holidays with season's greetings and wish you good health. Remember their birthday with birthday wishes. And when you get back to your feet, invite them for a visit.

Make sure that each experience a happy one! Love yourself, love your trip, and love people unconditionally. Give without expecting anything. Smile and be happy.
