Creative Writing On Homelessness
The worst feeling isn't being lonely. It's being forgotten by someone you would never forget. ~Unknown

Of course, I ran. I wanted to confront her as quickly as possible. And get this over as soon as I could. Girls can be really nasty when they want to be and that's not even the worst case scenario.

Just around the corner!

I skidded to a stop. What a sight I saw. She stood in the middle of a group of blonde girls (one, I assume is actually a brunette) and was surrounded by a swarm of people, flocking around her like chickens. All chattering and gossiping at once. A ton of the popular kids were with her, jocks, athletes, girls with way too much make-up on. All acting ''buddy buddy'' with each other. There was no way I just stroll right in without surviving. I'll admit, I am a little shy and get nervous easily.

If that was even possible. The group walked down the corridor and I backed up a bit, I felt somewhat belittled. Then this thought entered my mind, Maybe you should tell Eric. After all, he's got social standing and could sort of fix this. For some reason I pushed that thought back into the depths of my brain. I kind of wanted to do this myself, I felt like I needed to prove something. Does that make me a bad friend? I guess I'll keep the thought for more analyzation later. I quietly made my way back to the lunch room. A few people gave me some quick glances when I entered.

I sat back down at the empty table and continued watching Aubrey and Eric from afar. I think I saw Aubrey briefly looked at

    What is loneliness? It is a psychological state. Marche stated many times that loneliness and being lonely are not the same thing. “Solitude can be lovely. Crowded parties can be agony.” (Marche 64) It was said that loneliness is at the middle of American society. We get together less, and when we do get together it does not mean as much as it once did. That bond just is not there anymore.…

    How does loneliness affect people’s emotions, actions, and words throughout their daily lives? Loneliness is a feeling in which a person has no one to comfort them and is a deep feeling of isolation, According to Robin Williams, “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone… The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone…” (my pillow has this quote on it). Even though Robin Williams is no longer alive, he sent a message that stated something that will last because it is very true; a person could feel lonely without even being alone. That person could be around millions of people and still feel lonely because people isolate other human beings. In Of Mice and Men, Curley’s wife is lonely almost all the time. For this reason, she tries to sneak out and talk to people while also being a little too flirtatious. For example, “I get lonely,” she said. “You can talk to people, but I can’t talk to nobody but Curley” (Steinbeck, 87). This shows that loneliness can cause a person to feel sad and want constant attention from people that the person would…

    Bright, blood red colours saturated the makeshift tent, signalling the arrival of a new year. Red papers rustled in the breeze. Inscribed on them were golden characters each indicating happiness, health and prosperity. Red flowers bloomed in their various places around the tent. Bodies piled in ecstatically, one after another, sniffing, as they entered, the heavenly aroma of the vast array of foods present. Greetings were exchanged. So was money, which remained silent in the red packets they were initially placed in.…

    Homelessness is a pressing issue throughout the entire world. It affects people of all ages, genders, and races. The official definition from Google of homeless is “(of a person) without a home, and therefore typically living on the streets.” People who are homeless usually do not choose their homelessness. In fact, many people are pushed into this status due to many different reasons, such as gentrification or just difficulty finding a job. Walking down the Market Street of San Francisco, a bustling city, one would find many homeless begging, walking, or chatting with other homeless. They each have their own story behind their homelessness, and their own hardships. Women, in particular, have different needs and sufferings; they are more prone…

    It was five o’clock in the morning, still dark and freezing cold. Silence filled the air, the only sounds made were screeching screams and cries for help. The guards walk past every ten minutes to ensure no inmates have escaped or harmed themselves in any way. After being here at Goulburn Correctional Center for just over fifteen years now, I know every rabbit hole, emergency exit and surveillance areas around this place. The key to survival here is; don’t make friends with anyone, don’t look anyone in the eyes and don’t eat the food unless you have to. My first thought every morning when I wake up is my two beautiful twins, James and Vanessa. The last time I saw them was 2002. Even though they were young when I was convicted, they have grown…

    Memoir: The Homeless

    The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs. Then, I asked myself a question. Why not give them something that will be with them forever and help them out of their poverty and teach them valuable skills? After all, a mountain of…
