Hey there fellow "Jobless bum".

I found you because of a post by @kafkanarchy84.

Graham mentioned that you are in the Northwest, I too live out here in the west, and too in the outside. Finding a way inside seems unreal to me. Though I know the world is full of more kind people, the streets have a way of robbing me of the optimism which that awareness brings.

If you ever want to talk, or swap survival tactics feel free to be in touch.

Seattle isn't the greatest city, but for homeless people it's legal to sleep, not so here in Corvallis Oregon. Although police tend to be kind, in relative terms, they still will bust people for human behaviors which every person must do daily as a matter of existing.

One of the best tools I have found for outside life is google maps, looking for areas where a person can sleep undisturbed is vital for this lifestyle, a lack of sleep and a feeling of insecurity can push us over that edge quickly.

I am steadily telling other street people about steemit, in the hope that others will bring the reality of poverty in the USA to the steemit community, and hopefully uplift themselves and others though common unity.
