Being homeless ‘feels pretty worthless’

“When you’re on the street by yourself, it feels pretty worthless. I don’t want to be here. It gets very lonely. I’ve been very depressed. I cry myself to sleep every night. I just wish I could find somebody to love me as much as I can love somebody else.

“Somehow, I still make myself laugh. It’s complicated. It felt insane at first. But it makes me feel better. Having a sense of humor. Laughing at things that hurt me worse.”

What’s the hardest thing you’ve been through?
“I don’t know. Everything. But it ain’t going to break me. Because I’m already broken. I’ve been broken for years.

“I’ve still got faith. It’s very small. But I’ve got it.”
