Why?

What is my reasoning behind doing such a thing as being homeless? Dr. Orr just told me that he thinks its dangerous and he is scared for my safety and he is sure that my parents would also be scared if they knew. He told me that he doesn't think I am dumb for the idea, but that I should know why I am doing it. I really do not know why I am doing it other than I want to find out what it is like to be homeless. I am finding out a lot about my needs and my happiness through it and I think that, that is important, but it is not why I decided to be homeless. There is only two possibilities for my being homeless for six weeks.


1. I wanted to try and figure out how Brett had to of felt when he didn't have a place to live in Billings. I sometimes wonder how Brett is so strong through all of these things he has been through and I felt that this one thing he has been through, I could also experience on some level.
2. I wanted to see how much I can truly rely on the human race/friends. I do not know how many people that I have mentioned to that I am homeless and they have offered their couches to me despite the fact that they know I have sufficient funds to rent a room somewhere. I conclude that not only are my friends helpful, but also my acquaintances have been extremely helpful. I cannot say that I have used their resources, but just the knowledge that they are willing to help makes me feel better. I can feel so much nonjudgmental thoughts towards me and I am so grateful for that. I have so much faith in the human race...I really do and I hope that will never change.

ps: I just changed my spending money to $50. I cannot manage with only $20...I have already spent $22.
