What would you do if you were homeless?

I don't think you are being an asshole at all. You deserve the services as do others, just don't live on it forever, once you save for a security deposit on a rental then move on and as said above,,, pay it back somehow later, can be cash, offering volunteer services, or what ever helps them help others, once you can afford it.

 

Ok I got a temp to hire job I'm makin decent money now I pulled 400 this week working overtime and if I get hired at the end of 90 days I'll start at 14 an hr. I'm saving pretty much all my cash and almost ready to find a place there's a huge college here so a lot of people need roomates I also have a 2500 tax return comin soon for emergency funds, I'm not going back to tennessee I really love it out here I feel like I've restarted a life all on my own and I did miss my family until they showed me how much they really care by being angry that I can actually make it without them I've had so many bribe offers to go back now but I'm tired of receiving help from them just so they can use it as leverage in return... Being homeless is the best thing that's ever happened to me I've grown so much as a person and passed on soo much more help and inspired many other homeless to actually try to get off the bottom again, I feel it in my heart this was exactly the path I meant to take in life... It's so funny how months ago I had plenty of cash, friends, partied every night, a house, nice clothes, etc. and these days I have nothing but a fucked up
Truck a couple 100 bucks and a homeless shelter to sleep in..
Yet I walk down the sidewalk every day now the happiest guy on the planet ready to pass on my good vibes to whoever needs some love

 

I don't really know what I want I life yet I feel like I just started it a couple weeks ago...
All I know right now is I want to be happy, compassionate, humble, and succeed in life enough that I can help other people do the same... I want to already but I'm just now gettin over the feeling of a drowning man trying to save drowning men

 

My goal in life is to help make this world a little better of a place one step at a time

 

sounds like a success story right there.
