Homeless: Day 3

Ok well I didn't write much yesterday so I'm going to write for yesterday and a little of today. Yesterday was the best day I have had all year long. No I haven't gone crazy, and yes I am still living homeless. There is just something about living on the bare necessities and being completely content. For the first time this year I had no worries about who other people saw me as. I was just me. It was so freeing to sit on the sets of the chapel barefoot in my smelly t-shirt and jeans and not have a care in the world. I just sat there and talked with my new friends about life, politics, philosophy, and everything else under the sun. It didn't matter what I looked like or how I smelled because no one else cared. For once we took each other for who we are not who we look like. I think that is one of the reasons why so many people don't like what we are doing, it makes them feel uncomfortable. It is not normal for someone to not shower and just sit outside all day long like a hippie and not do anything. It not normal to be careless how we look to other people. I want to know, why is this not normal? Why can't we accept others for their true self and not for their looks, clothes, and friends? I truly believe that if we did this we would all be happier. No one would annoy others because they were trying to impress someone, or make them like who they aren't. We would all be ourselves for once in out lives and the world would get along...it's too bad the idea of the world getting along is more of a joke than a dream anymore.

Just as my day was amazing, so was my night. I went to sleep earlier than I ever have at Houghton, and slept through most of the night. As time goes on you really do get used to sleeping on cardboard boxes. I can't even imagine what it will feel like to sleep on a mattress again. Anyway, as usual there were some drano bombs set off last night. The best part of my night, seeing cape girl run after the sound of drano bombs at midnight...haha. But as usual I woke up happy and refreshed. I was also able to stay fully awake in both of my classes, which were both very enjoyable. Well, I haven't done much today so I'm going to end it here. Maybe I will write more tonight...

A wretched sinner saved by grace,
