Homelessness: A hard habit to break

From Jamie’s Big Voice (UK):

“…I think I understand more than most the plight of homeless people after they have a home. getting A flat or some kind of accommodation is only part of the battle. The battle to break the habit of homelessness it’s self is the toughest. It doesn’t matter how good you are at keeping a flat clean and tidy or that you have food. It’s this thing that the streets brings you I suppose you could call it the survival instinct you don’t want to lose it so you keep going back to the streets because that’s what you know so well…”

I’ve seen this in my friends. It baffles me. Saddens me. It’s real.
