Where do you shower? How are you going to make money to buy food, new clothes, shoes, etc.? No respectable business will hire someone who can't provide an actual address on the application, and sooner or later they will stop letting you into the library because you smell or look terrible.

I highly doubt being homeless is pleasant, I mean you have no home to call your own, you can't shower, you are unable to eat whenever you please, and as a homeless you're up against the elements. And I would like to know, how you're able to attend school if you don't even have the money to buy a decent meal.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go lay down on my bed.

I shower once every 2 days or so now, I can go to a friends place and use their shower, and my girlfriend's doors are always open to me as well, if I need to shower and stuff, I just can't live there at the moment.
I don't need money for clothes, shoes, etc. I can go a day or 2 without food for sure, and there's always a friend of mine who has some snacks in their backpacks or something and they're willing to share with me.

While I can't really say that you're lifestyle choice is currently a smart one, I'll give you credit if it's your only choice right now. However you still do get the comfort of food and computers, and while you are technically homeless, you still have resources you can turn to.

And you also have a computer.

You pretty much can do whatever you want, that's just it. Hope you've maintained some decent meals though. My boyfriend pretty much lived on the streets all summer once upon a time and like yeah, he became malnourished, I swear. Now I make sure he eats full meals in our place :D

Just get some food in you, that's all. And don't get killed. K.

Not a moocher by choice. I would have a home and stuff if it were up to me.
I might try getting a job, I'm not too sure yet, I'm content how I am right now.
Working is never really appealing to me ...

What your doing very much sounds like my plan if I ever get kicked out of my house for an extended period of time or something. . .

My suggestion is to become good friends with the librarians, especially since you're a very frequent visitor. I was suspended from school for a little over two months and during this time I went to the library 3 or 4 days a week, so the librarians began to recognize me. If you're extra nice and polite to them, it'll go a long way I'm sure.

Also, I think getting a job would greatly benefit you. It'll eat up some of your time so you won't be wandering aimlessly. Plus, even at minimum wage, think of all the things you could afford, especially foodwise! Buy a few loaves of bread and some Peanut butter and you're so for a while.

Just make sure you're nice to everybody who helps you in any way because they're helping you out of the goodness of their heart and you should appreciate everything you get.

I'd also suggest you invest in a notebook and pencil, I'm sure you could get down a bunch of cool drawings or stories or something!

Good luck!

I need Monet, to buy DeGas to make my Van Gogh. I tried to Hale a cab but my Whistler didn't Turner 'round.

You know what, you really should get a job. Then buy a tent and hell you will be set, tent and food and a laptop. Get an extended battery and a wireless internet connection haha.

Wait til you meat a real homeless person who beats the shit out of you for encroaching in his territory and opens your eyes to the real world. If you're couchsurfing, you arent homeless, if you're actually living on a sheet of cardboard in an alley, all your "favorite things about being homeless" are going to eventually end, people are more likely to give money to a nice looking kid than some grizzled old man, but that grizzled old man will eventually want your shit, even if he was nice before. You're posting on the internet so I assume you're couchsurfing or posting from a library, and probably living on some money your parents had you save up, but I recall some other guy saying he was your roommate so this is also probably a fakepost.

My situation?
I have no home, no job, no money.
I walk around all day and chill in parks with friends, smoke weed, I go read books at the library, I explore the city, sometimes I go out in to the woods and just sit alone in nature and observe it, that's my life in a nutshell right now.

Sounds nice, just a change of lifestyle for a while ( or how long are u planning to stay homeless ? )

If this is true, then you interest me greatly. I guess I've always had urges to run away and live rough but never really carried it out.

Oh fuck yeah it does, it's probably going to suck, but I want to test myself and see if I can take it or not. I'm just trying to find the fun out of all of this, it's a new chapter of my life.
