I woke up early at my friend’s apartment. I got ready to drive to job orientation in Braintree. Job orientation was boring. I Drove to my mother’s house to get my Social security card, which I forgot to bring at orientation. I took the dog for a walk. I Drove to Gloucester for a SUDA substance use disorder anonymous meeting. I Jumped on virtual meeting with coworkers at 6:30. After the meeting I drove to my Mom’s house to give her drill and drill bits, which she needed to do some projects around the house. I left my mother’s and I went back to my friend’s house in Danvers one town over to go to sleep. I have to wait till tomorrow the 1st of October to move into my new room in Medford.
The cycle has been completed. I have gone from leaving my home, to homelessness, traveling around staying in a tent, making a more permanent camp for the winter so I don’t freeze to death, finding comfort and romance in a devilish woman to provide pleasure and sanctuary from the outdoors, to suffering the social and psychological effects of living outside, to being back to living indoors. I have learned that I would prefer to have a home indoors because the prehistoric way of living outside is always available to all people. While the way of living indoors is not available to everyone. Although, I do feel indoor living should be available to all.
HINDSIGHT: 2/17/2025
I will say that I began to feel that I had not done enough about 6/8 of ttheway through this project. Even on the last day of the project I felt like I should continue traveling homeless so I could learn more. There’s always this over arching feeling that I have not done enough that more needs to be done.
