homelessnation.org/en/node/...ment-4116 _Stop labelling_

Labels are not very helpful to me. Generalizing and putting people into a box doesn't reflect each of our individual situations. We are each in unique situations, yes?

Okay, here are some words...

Homeless - without a sense, "a feeling" of home. Lost. I want to go home, but I can't. Home does not exist for me anymore.

Shelterless - without canvas. without a roof, tent, canopy, and protection from the physcial elements. And I still have a sense of home it's just that I am without any shelter.

Houseless - without a house. without a house to live and stay in.

Nomad - a gypsy, traveller, vagabond - I create and bring my shelter and sense of home with me wherever I go.
