Bizarrely enough, I opened this thread hoping to find advice for dealing with my loud, nasty, arrogant Christian co-workers, who are bigoted against all Muslims. Oh well, I guess the crusades are still going on. Feel free to kill each other just please, wait til I leave the room before you...

Well, I walk through the world now with the big H on my chest, reminding me that I was homeless. Once the good people of the world label you, that's what you are regardless. Don't believe me? Try to "change and evolve " out of the label hung around your neck, you'll see how hard those good...

Problem with time is that I often have too much of it. I'm alone, you can only watch tv or look out the window so long, then time drags. I find myself wanting to just go to sleep til it's time for work again, til I can do something to occupy my mind. No, I'm going to say sanity, because...

Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback. To those of you who said you were once homeless, was there something particular you did, some practice or technique, that helped you to reintegrate? Also, how do you approach co-workers when they speak about homelessness from a position of...

The world is dying and there's nothing I can do to prevent it.  The children being born now will never see adulthood.

Lack of openness and fear go together like hand and glove, at least in my case. Someone I loved and trusted hurt me, made me homeless, by god, I'm never going to let THAT happen again! Loneliness is not fun, not socially acceptable but it is in the end, emotionally safe. You're not hitting...

I'm thinking how much I hate getting up early to sweep snow off the car. :-(

Greetings; no pressure here, lurk or speak as you prefer:-)

No Do you like herring?

I could try counseling I suppose: god knows I have a lot to talk about. People at my work talk about life, politics, etc. and are so oblivious to the reality of it. They seriously believe their fantasy world of cars, clothes, vacations and beautiful homes is a guarantee. Now here I am...

Who are you, who am I, To say we know the reasons why, Some are borne and some men die, Under one infinite sky. There'll be war and there'll be peace, Until one day it all will cease, All the iron turned to rust, All the proud men turned to dust. So all things, time will mend, And so this song...

Family Name

In 2013 I posted here about my fear of becoming homeless after my wife abandoned me.  That happened. Now it's 2017, I'm working again, have a rented place, no longer homeless, etc. The problem is, I can't stop remembering.  I look in my closet at my clothes & I remember the clothes that were...
