Whatever makes you sad..

[Amandistan]

The fact that I can travel and still feel depressed. Not having a job takes off stress but it doesn't change your brain. If your brain creates feelings or worthlessness and constant sadness, anxiety etc. then it can never be escaped.

The fact that when Irish and English people joke I can not tell if it's a very mean insult or a Joke that is funny in their culture.  Also the fact that I do not get it and it often makes me feel like crying. I actually can't wait until August when I go to Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Where humor changes and I understand it more.

Sorry the first step on your amazing new life wasn't what you hoped for.

That's what happens when you throw yourself into the unknown!   

I'm sure the next step will put you in a better place... keep your pals here posted!

Well, this is all still relatively new, isn't it? And I guess it is just going to take a while, after all these years of a conventional life, for your brain to unwind, get into a different "mode". Plus, I can imagine all these new impressions, the new challenges you face, also take a while to get used to.
I am sure it will get better over time - an entire life can't just be undone and forgotten like that. Also, the more you keep travelling, the more people you meet, the easier it will probably get to engage with them and don't mind so much if you don't quiet "get" them at first.
It's a great thing you are doing, I am keeping my fingers crossed for many great experiences to come you way, just don't pressure yourself too much.

Our society is not a good one .....sad but true

People don't realise just how easy it is to become homeless. It could happen to anyone

The fact the long term travel is good fun but it has it's sad parts.

 Living with someone for a month, leaving and repeating many times gets sad. The leaving part can get side.  Now, I leave my third temporary family tomorrow and on to the next.  You get to know people well and then goodbye, I won't ever see you again.

Better to get to know someone and really like them than never to have met them at all...

Good memories live as long as you do...

Our society is not a good one .....sad but true

It is true unfortunately and from the story you posted the saddest part is "why did you care?"

People don't realise just how easy it is to become homeless. It could happen to anyone

I had 2 months off work sick earlier this year. If I had taken the other month off I really needed then I would have lost this house - I cannot cover 3 months loss of salary. As it is the financial fallout has royally fucked me for the rest of the year probably. That's how easy it is. It doesn't take an awful lot for the rug to be pulled. Those who have no empathy towards others could do with learning that.

But what makes me sad is that these are just two tiny little examples of how the world seems to be moving towards an utter lack of care for other people.

Anna, I am also in the same boat... a personal financial collapse (thanks to circumstances out of my control) that might jeopardise me having a safe secure roof over my head...

OK for now, but not sure how it might be in a couple of months...

I went from having a family home wife and two kids to living a homeless shelter and I was working full time Probably not the place to go into the whole story. Only stayed there just over a week was lucky enough to be able to borrow money for a deposit for a private let. I had one bag of clothes a personal cd player with one cd ( raw melody men) It can happen all to easy and things are getting tougher for people

[witch]

Im sorry that I was the only one I did take care why nobody else did it that is that not okay?

[witch]

[witch]
