I haven't made much music lately and that is due to me being homeless. I'm staying at a shelter and I'm getting ready to rent an apartment soon. These past few months have drained the life out of me, and it's a constant uphill battle to not go steady insane with how...useless I feel. I'm one of the lucky ones though, I've seen a lot of people sleep outside and, in Birmingham Alabama, that isn't really safe. I only had to sleep outside once and it nearly broke me.
Oh, and no one told me how much I'd be walking. I'm in pretty decent physical health for the first time in my life and it's because I walk about 1.5 miles a day.
But yeah, please look out for your friends or loved ones because if you aren't lucky enough to find shelter, homelessness will hit like a truck. A lot of things can factor into it, too. Within 5 months my dad dying I had nowhere to go but a shelter. Life sucks enough already, not having a roof over your head.
If you want, I suggest you to go out and volunteer to help those in need, not just the homeless, but displaced youth, people with HIV, and those with debilitating mental illness.
