It is an ideal photo. It portrays realistic feelings.

Literally no but emotionally I feel a lot of people are homeless. The way the worked before where everything is fast paced and people get left behind. I guess this is what the quarantine did good for us. People are bonded due to it.

Thankfully, I’ve been fortunate to have a place that I call “home”, or at least a form of home base.
In my country, I know that there are plenty of homeless people, so I sometimes do my best to provide them with some small charitable donation, given that I’m also trying to get my own finances stabilized.
Sometimes, I wonder if I’m doing enough to help such people.

I have once been here but I’m always very grateful that it didn’t really get out of hands. I could still manage and get out before it got worse.

No. I am happy that I have never experienced this kind of situation in my life. But every time I see a homeless person, I see to it that I help him/her in some way that can lift up his spirit on that day.

Well, never been homeless. However, recently, almost got homeless when we were displaced by nearby lake. Lucky enough we have another home a far.

I was once homeless to the essence that I stayed without taking bath for like 7days, you know what that means. I never prayed for such to happen to anyone, I pity the fellow in the picture.

We never know what the future holds for people like this or ourselves. Some are successful and some are not, that’s life.. So sad!

I have never been homeless, but I always feel for all those street children that have no place to call their home. It’s such a hard life.

Fortunately I haven’t had any such experience. I can imagine how harrowing it may be.

I once came close to being homeless but my friends helped me. It was a close call.

This is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. It is so traumatizing.

I have had a cousin of mine go through this. It was the worst thing ever for him.

I have been in this position before. Luckily it was only for a few days.
Teddy
This just reminded me of the poor people that live this reality every day. We should be very grateful for having a roof over our heads.

My heart goes out to any homealess person out there. I know it is a dark place to be.

I have seen homeless people who are still able to wear a smile. One has to admire their resilience in the face of adversity.

For about a month in 2016 I was homeless. Worst experience ever I must say.
Storm
Being homeless for even a few days can be devastating. I can’t imagine there are people who have lived their entire lives homeless.

I have ever been in a position where I had no place to call home. I have never been so lonely in my life.

At first, I did not really understand what was going on, but contrary to not understanding, I felt like I did. I had to research the definition for a writing prompt, and that’s when I understood what I felt I understood. The writing prompts are suppose to convey both a visual and verbal message that ultimately propels you to take a hold of inspiration. I didn’t know that writing prompts existed, but I see how they can be very useful. In fact, it may even bring about compassion as well, more specifically the writing prompt about the homeless person. In short, I would say they are quite grabbing.
