The Insanity of Help for the Homeless

Seeking a Sanctuary to call Home

Sanctuary quote by Lady Gaga by rhoda anne young

Howdy there my fellow Teepee Tribe

Drifted into Homelessness

Have you ever found yourself just drifting along, not knowing how to live your life. When I was young I had dreams and desires. Everyone told me they were stupid and would never lead anywhere. I stupidly listened to them and have been living my live fulfilling their dreams and desires ever since. Where has it got me?

Homelessness was certainly not a destination I desired. I never wrote it on my annual goals list! But here I am. Stuck, in the Tangled Teepee, surrounded by a muddy quagmire throughout the autumn and winter months, and by triffids for the remainder of the year.

I have a mere ten months before my fiftieth birthday and I’d like to remove myself from this position before that comes.

My bones are growing older day by day and living this way is not the best thing for anybody’s health or sanity. Even though I make this place as homely as I can with my meager resources (that are diminishing as I write) it will never be the sanctuary that I desire. To be able to have a stable home, to retreat to a place of safety, away from the rest of the world and their trolling is all I desire at the the end of the day!

But I am confounded as to how I can achieve removing myself from this position without (yet again) compromising my true desires to a societal regime that is biased and truly unfair.

The UK government would have you believe that they give help to their own citizens in their hour of need, and I’m sure that must hold true for those who comply with their vision of need! But what about those that don’t quite fit the box when it comes to their vision of homelessness? There is no help given to those of no fixed abode unless you are willing to compromise your own morals. Its Insane!

The Insanity of Help

These are the compromises that have in the last four years been suggested to me and my partner

1. That we become alcoholics or addicts so we can go into the local hostile that is full of other alcoholics and addicts.
2. That we hand over every possession in order to enter such…
