Being homeless is the best thing in the world, & here is why!

For someone like me, it's been quite a journey going from somebody with a lot of security to somebody with bar none. But it's the best thing in the world and I'll tell you why.

One reason is my newfound appreciation of life.

From appreciating the helping hands of family and friends to something as simple as appreciating the smile of a stranger. Or wind rustling leaves, leaving me smiling in a storm of dust.

I learnt to fully appreciate that a good life doesn't need a lot of things. As long as you have good friends and family.

Allow me to clarify. I mean no disrespect to people who are genuinely homeless. Those I have the greatest respect for, especially now that I've gone through an episode in life of loosing track of everything, money, home & job. I can only hope these people have their own ways to find solace.

The second reason is humbling.

When I fell from my peak in life, only then did I realize how hard it can be to ask for help. I didn't find help in abundance, but somehow I made it out. I've come out humble and thankful. This is truly a testament to the quote form the japanese movie Casshern that "Existence is to be shared" and that "We are not here to simply exist, but to find the strength to co-exist". I just happen to be on the other end of the spectrum. I'm the recieving end. A very unusual place having basically grown up living on the giving end.

Which brings me to my next reason.

Realizing that giving never stops. If you have nothing you can simply give of yourself. And that my friends is perhaps the most profound and pure way to give. Offering to help with services, offering your piece of mind. Sharing emotive experiences with people.

I grew closer to A LOT of people, in part because suddenly all I had to give... was myself.

And I have rarely if ever been so happy, never before has the common quote "Less is more" rung more true.

Last but all important.

Starting out at zero with my own life has given me a lot of time to reinvent myself. Who do I want to be within a year or two? which people do I want in my life and so on and so fourth.

The amount of freedom I have at the moment is insane. I can practically wake up to a situation in such utter chaos that anything I want to become is at my doorstep. I just need to reach into the furthest crevice baring the manifestation I crave and take a hold of it and nurture it with holistic intent.

I am.

And I aim to become so much more.

Join me on the next journey. I'm sure it will be marvelous!
