Day 2: Being Homeless

I can’t even recline my car seat back all the way because of lack of space. I can’t comfortably stretch my legs. I feel confined. I fear that someone will catch me sleeping in my car and call the police (sleeping in your car is illegal)

At work today as the parents picked their kids from school they were excited for their weekend plans. While I was happy for them I felt the overwhelming dread of the fact after I clock out I have to go back to my car. Back to my reality of being homeless.

I guess in a sense when I’m at work I don’t feel homeless because I was housed while hired and majority of my employment. After I clock out I can see my belongings from a distance as I walk to my car and I know my coworkers see it too. I wonder what kind of things they’re saying about me

Please help me have safe permanent housing.

Have you ever spotted a fairy lantern? Members of the genus Thismia, these plants don’t use chlorophyll to photosynthesize. Instead, they feed on fungi in the soil. Growing just a few centimeters tall, their unusual-looking, vibrant flowers bloom briefly to attract pollinating insects—like fungus gnats. There are more than a hundred known species of this elusive plant around the planet, ranging from parts of Asia to Australia to the Americas.
