“I felt relief when I finally got evicted from my apartment. I was always behind on my rent, so I spent so much psychic energy worrying about what was going to happen. It was like waiting for a surgery. I was just glad it was over with. I’d rather be homeless. The worst part of being homeless is that people associate it with craziness. I have a gym membership. I go to movies, but mainly so I can get some sleep in the theater. I’ve never begged though. If I got hungry enough, I’d rather steal. There’s something so dehumanizing about putting yourself completely at the mercy of another person.”
