Hello, thank you for your response. One of the reasons for the homeless idea is the place I'm staying in now is just a toxic and horrible environment, and I can't find any places nearby or in any other state where the rent wouldn't easily take well over half my income right from the 1st of every month. This along with me remembering the certain sense of... freedom, I guess, I felt when I was homeless before, are a couple of the main reasons.

I don't know, I just will never be able to hold a job, so (especially if something ever happened to my SSI) I just sort of think maybe being a so-called drifter is more the life for me. I've never been and wouldn't ever be the begging sign-holding type, so by "drifter" I mean more just living wherever things take me and in no set place. I like nature, I liked traveling to a new place before, I don't have any family or friends in my life that I would be leaving behind, and you know like I said I just really liked that sense of 'freedom' I remember from when I was previously homeless...
