What would you feel like if you didn’t have a home?

Like I had no center.

I would be vulnerable, unhappy, and scared.

I’d feel lost. And cold.

Outcast.

Unsafe and unloved.

Worry, shame, uncertainty.

It would be frightening and embarrassing.

To not have a home is like not having a basis for anything.

I would feel lost, and I would try to turn to safety only to find more darkness, and holes in the ground.

A very alien feeling, very stressing and disorienting.

I can’t imagine this. I can imagine a small apartment or a dorm room, but not nothing.

I would become a drifter, but it would be a cold and hard adventure.

I would feel vulnerable, exposed, unprotected, unjustified, hurt, betrayed, and resentful.

It would be bad, especially as you lose that sense of a final destination.

I would want to find a home, but I wouldn’t know how to find one.

With nowhere to center myself, I would just wander, without purpose.

I would be thankful for any bit of help.

I would be scared and ashamed.

I can’t imagine not knowing where my family would be day to day.

I’d feel like I could never be as good or important as the people surrounding me and that was all my fault. I’d feel helpless, alone, and depressed.

It is really unimaginable.

I couldn’t live with the pain and worry that comes with being homeless.
