I lived on the streets for 5 years when I was a teenager… When my Dad as well as dad found out that I was gay, they made me leave the house.
They did not want me to influence either 1 of my sister’s with my unhealthy as well as sinful lifestyle.
I spent a few mornings on the couches of my friends as well as every once in a while I found a venue to take a shower. I managed to finish High School although I was living in as well as out of a homeless shelter, but one time during my senior year, I lived in an apartment that did not have any heat or water. It was the middle of the Winter time season as well as I was lucky to find the abandoned apartment building, and some of the windows were broken, however it was otherwise in good shape, however just a handful of my homeless buddies joined me at the apartment. Every one of us had a great holiday that year because the people I was with and I had shelter as well as a roof over our head. It did not matter to any of us if there was heat, sizzling water, or usual amenities of home. Every one of us were glad to have a safe venue to rest our heads. Every one of us decorated that apartment with Christmas items that the people I was with and I found in dumpsters as well as the people I was with and I had a easily nice holiday on the streets. I l gained about myself as well as life during my time on the streets. I don’t regret any of the choices that I have made, although I wish my Dad as well as dad would have been more supportive when I easily needed someone to prefer me.
