1. Realize you’re on your own.
2. Downsize, all you need is on your back
3. Raise enough cash to put that back pack and a few change of clothing and essentials when you get them. (Canned food, deodorant).
4. Assuming you have a phone or laptop. That’s how you stay connected… Find a damn job, link up with a temp agency, it’s the fastest way to get employed. If you have a job half the stress is gone already.
5. Don’t assume all your friends can or will help you… Whether they say it or not, they’re struggling too.
6. Decide where you will sleep. There are shelters for women and men, watch other homeless people. Find safe and open places to rest if you can’t or won’t go to a shelter. (The shelter is where you will recharge your phone) Sometimes it’s better to stay awake at night and sleep on the train on the way to work or sleep in the open on the waterfront. (Know one knows if you’re homeless it just a student chillin).
7. Eat, eat, eat every chance you get, you need energy. You’re in survival mode. You eat to live, not the other way around.
8. Stay connected.. you don’t need to tell your peers because you know what their reaction will be, because you know yourself but out it out there. Those who can help will but don’t expect to be saved. That kind of pressure ruins relationships. You can’t help someone if you can’t help yourself… Remember that when you get your shit together. Just because you have a home car family friends does not mean you’re helping yourself, it’s just more survival and coping.
9. If you have a faith, turn it into a science…
(The Irrational + logical = spiritual / ritualistic self prophecy.) Study when you’re not working, be creative (keep a journal).You can be and do ANYTHING. Survival because your benefactor and transcendent.

10. Stay sober!! Unless you have a history and you’re intentionally forcing a connection… Stay sober. That kind of work requires much more effort and is advanced training. And much more painful and frightening. If you have a habit and need help… I can guide you but what I did for myself was dangerous. I lucky to be alive.
11. Believe some good will come of your situation. This will open your mind and draw the people you need that can and will help you.
***This can and will change your outlook on life and what is really necessary, it will change the way you hear music, see art and the way you think.
Some people do this purposely just to find themselves over and over again, just to be the person you think you want to be.
Remember to say thank you, for any and all help… To the Spirit that moves you and those who reach out… Because that Spirit is in them and called them to your aid, because by helping you they are helping themselves.
Remember this… You will be moved to assist in Spiritual matters in the whole of your experience from here on.

Be well,
The Spirit moves you
