You start with sleeping in your car for "just a little while" until one day the car breaks or you can't renew tag/insurance.

Or your friends get burnt out with the unpaid roommate using resources idea.

Hop skip and jump away from "real" street homelessness.

Been there. Amazed sometimes I made it out because it breaks your brain, just the lack of sleep enough days in a row will make the best minds broken.




Awesome to see that you broke out of that. If you don't mine my asking, did you join a street community in a downtown core, or did you use any social services to help?

Did you meet a lot of people in a similar situation to you on the street?
