Delilah Says Homelessness Is Better Than Working in a Beverly Hills Hair Salon.

- Delilah is young and homeless. She says that previously she worked in a Beverly Hills hair salon and that homelessness is much better than cutting hair for angry, mean rich ladies!
Delilah says she is enjoying her freedom while she is young enough and healthy enough to have it. She wants to live a minimalistic and nomadic lifestyle.
Delilah relocated to Los Angeles three years ago and has been on the streets for six months. She had various living arrangments. Delilah's last roommate throughout all her stuff and now she is just trying to make the best of it.
Delilah's boyfriend has been homeless for many years and she started to live with him on the streets. She was already spending weekends with him in his tent, so homelessness did not come as much of a shock.
Delilah plans on traveling and then if she wants to change her lifestyle she says she will.
One of the foundations of Invisible People's work is to present stories of people experiencing homelessness raw and unedited. Delilah's story is a little different than most because from the outside it looks like she is choosing to be homeless.
The last few years I have seen more people deciding to live a minimalistic and nomadic lifestyle. Van dwelling is now a thing and becoming more popular. I think part of the reason is the high cost of housing and the lack of good paying jobs.
I used to think no one wants to be homeless, and that is the truth for the vast majority of people sleeping outside. Even the ones who tell you that want to be homeless, at one time they tried to get out of homelessness, but after hitting so many barriers, they just give up. It’s called “learned helplessness.”
I think Delilah's story is important because so often homeless youth choose this lifestyle and then it's nearly impossible to get out of it. The streets in any city are very dangerous, especially for young women. Although Delilah says she wants to be homeless there is a sadness about her. I do believe she is making the best of it and that love probably played the biggest role in her current situation. I just pray she gets off the streets while she still can.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as CZcams, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
She’s very sweet but you can sense her sadness as well.
seems to me, her only real "sadness" is stemmed from stigmatisms that society put on her. She, like all of us, was raised n brainwashed by this mainstream machine , to Think a certain way... once she breaks her mental restrictions/programming, she will be happier than the richest man on earth... the person who can source their own needs from nature, and live happy without any material extras, is truly the happiest person... their happiness cannot be taken away, unless the earth itself is destroyed. THAT is powerful. Far from sadness. I pity millionaires with no true friends and tons of life expectations- WAY more than I ever pity someone like her... She is truly free. She is truly unique and filled with spiritual essence...no sadness at all..
Money does not equal happiness
@@solarpanel8195 OMG
@@solarpanel8195 yeah do you live on the street to? You keep telling yourself she's happy
@@personincognito3989 lol no but I gave up a thriving business I owned to go find an ecovillage to live at. This society is hell, and I had one of the best opportunities... true freedom is sourcing your own resources and having no real attachments to this society
noticed how she gradually looked sadder during the interview. She's trying to be strong
Ben Benassi I think she got brought down bh
Eric Phalen
The guy interviews that way.
Tends to be very direct questions that could hurt.
His reasons are to give full picture interviews.
He is a decent guy but like to see him lighten it up a bit for those being interviewed.
She is strong everyone has sadness we live in a cruel world 🙏❤️
It's not trying to be strong she is strong
She's on the team to defeat evil yeah GODS team
The majority of people in the the U.S. live pay check to pay check. I'm always surprised at how cruel people are to the homeless considering how close they are to being homeless themselves.
Trust me America sucks as a whole. I’ve never felt safe here and I was born and raised here.
Interesting thought!
Same in Australia 🇦🇺 Cost of living is just ridiculous.
Those who give no mercy will get none on Judgment Day. Glad I left the US even though I'm homeless now in Cambodia. Glad I won't be in the US in the next civil war and during WW3. Worst country to be in then.
As long as your willing to work you'll never be homeless. You might have to work two jobs but I believe it's doable.
I was homeless for a couple years when I was young. I remember when I came to the point that I had nothing left but the clothes I was wearing. I felt a deep since of peace and freedom. I felt almost like i was re-born with a fresh start and everything could only get better from there, and eventually, they did. I will never forget the experiences from that time though, the good and the bad. In my 50's now and I would not be able to handle that again. I am grateful for the experiences I had because they shaped me into the person that I am today, but times have changed and so have I. I wish Delilah the best for her and that she finds whatever she wants out of life.
this is really true, only when you have nothing can you feel so at peace. it’s a perilous prospect for someone living on the streets
Yeah she will be old before she knows it and will be wishing she got her ass ingear years ago but it will be to late. No rest for the wicked, for life is a bitch. You are the master of your own domain.
I'm around yoir age and though I can't face it I will probably have to.
@@joelse7298 So sorry to hear! I hope you are in a better situation soon.
It sounds like you are selling yourself short.
If you became homeless you would thrive in that community. You already know the ropes. A change in attitude would be a bit difficult but the transition would be short because of your past.
Working for the rich is the worst thing ever. I did it in the past, never again: these guys are amongst the worst human beings I've ever dealt with. I'm starting to believe that money can really turn some people into monsters, it's scary.
Exactlly and I came to same conclusion. I was so surprised, I am pet sitter and usually people who hire me are normal working people who just want some poty break and excercise for their dog while they are at work. A while ago I was hired by foreigners. Very irresponsible people and I'm actually thinking of giving them cancelation notice.
I worked at a private airport for rich people. They would call ahead so their plane was pulled out of the hangar, fueled up and ready to go. It paid less than 10/hr and even though I was trusted to pull and fuel their $24,000,000 jet they wouldn't tip and acted like I was vermin if even one of their desires was not foreseen and met. I used to like airplanes.
In order to become rich, you pretty much have to be a monster - they were already like that and money didn't change them.
@@newchannelwtfwhy So sorry to hear that, realy bad people 😔 It's also ridiculous to have responsibility for 24 M airlplane for 10 $/h
Yeah, working directly for rich people is stupid. You’ll always be a peasant to then. Be their neighbor and they will respect you.
Being homeless in a warm climate, has definitely got to be better than being homeless in new york or new england or any other cold place.
Yup. Being homeless anywhere east of Nevada sucks. Surviving a winter in places like Illinois, Michigan, and the Eastern Seaboard is lethal.
Obviously since Southern California (LA) has almost perfect weather year round. This is why there’s such a huge homeless population over there. At least Phoenix is really hot in the summertime so this is an advantage and prevents any more homeless persons coming here.
Yes I agree. I know for a fact being homeless in Massachusetts sucks ass in the wintertime. I’m sure being homeless in that nice weather is a little bit easier.
Warmer places are definitely better but still is hardcore.
@@JohnSmith-id5yz the reason they have massive amounts of homelessness is because they're the largest state in the entire country by miles.
She looks well and healthy and she says she's okay, but I sense a deep sadness in her. I remember a time in my life when I used to talk like this: when my voice and my whole demeanour contradicted the words coming out of my mouth. I didn't even know I was sad, or the depths of that sadness, and I lacked the words to articulate what was causing it. She may not have realised in 2017 that the horrible roommate and the bullies at work have caused severe PTSD, so I hope she's got some help by now. A kind, beautiful soul like hers deserves a good life.
She's probably sad that there's so many angry, mean rich ladies that drove her crazy at her job.
Yeah, she was ripped off by her roommate, it happens a LOT, unreal. Her whole situation blew up, roommate and her employment at the same time, then things went downhill fast. She's putting up a good front but I sensed a lot of sadness. People can talk a good game but her eyes and demeanor tells us more.
She doesn't want to do better than her boyfriend at the moment because that would cause them to break up.
@@sonias9722 I agree, there's a lot more to this. Roommates don't always steal everything from someone without notice; it's likely she wasn't paying up because she was providing for her dude, not enough money left, a formula for eviction and worst, she likely started showing up late at work because of her new found lifestyle. We've seen this play out before. Travel?, where?, you're living in a tent ⛺, broke, and more than likely used and abused by your dude for drug money. This is not what it appears and she's not the only one; it's truly sad.
@@fernfreeman1729 that's one scenario. Even if it's just that she was unlucky or naive with the roommate initially, it doesn't sound good that she is emotionally close only with somebody who's been on the streets for years and apparently she doesn't talk to her sister or family right now. She's most likely emotionally dependent on him and isn't ready to leave and get her own life back on track. She's so young and doesn't have that street-look yet, I assume she would be on top of the list if anyone around there is helping the homeless. But she doesn't seem to realize she's not on some hipster vacation, the longer you stay, the deeper you'll get into trouble. Possible that she was using something herself already when she was working... I believe the rich customers are horrible but it's nothing new under the sun that a job comes between a user and her drug, and they blame anything else but the addiction for the quitting. Or, her "drug" was the new boyfriend.
I worked as an assistant for a dental clinic that had very rich clients.
It’s not just meanness it’s also mind games, the low pay, and being screamed at.
Me and another assistant were supposed to prepare the chair and tools but the owner and client were chatting in front of the entrance.
We tried politely to pass and she screamed it was rude to interrupt a conversation.
We stood there and they finished talking the doctor saw the chair wasn’t ready and screamed again when I say I want something done I want it done now.
Or picking up an order of soft drinks left at the door and being screamed at that they can’t have non Diet Coke because her husband is diabetic and I’m trying to kill her husband, when I wasn’t the one who sent the wrong order I just picked it up.
Working with rich people day in and out will make your stress go way up
I’m glad that people are exposing their bad behaviour. Thank you for your testimony.
God bless you🙏🏼
It doesn’t have anything to do with being rich. This behavior comes from all economic classes towards people in the service industry.
@@dw7922 I worked in hotels and bars when I was a university student in the UK. The middle class and wealthy people were absolutely disgusting, and behaved like animals, while the working class people were almost always lovely and would ask how my day was going and what I was studying at university. The only time the working class people were awful was when they got really drunk at the end of the night and looked for fights with other men, and then they'd swear at the employees when we kicked them out. But normally they were fine.
It was the same when I worked in New Zealand. People on middle incomes or high incomes would act rude and self-entitled because they thought it made them look rich and important. The tradesmen were awesome though. And the crazy thing is the trademen were earning more than the faux rich people who inherited from their parents.
You’re a damn liar
she is homeless and her teeth are whiter than mine wtf
She was recently homeless, she is a cosmetologist
Sensodyne extra whitening works for me, you can try it.
@@makeuplover6134 and no kilikili hair too! shes actually quiet attractive. Im sure she will find her way to success. This difficult time will only make her stronger.
@BOOBOO4 BEAR what's the definition of a bum to you?
She dosen't drink any soda
She's not a typical homeless person, she's probably just taking some time to find herself, eventually she will get tired of the whole homeless thing and get her act together.
by working for capitalist ha ha ha
@Beerdy I agree, despite the comments who cannot see that a pretty woman who turned away from “capitalism” to be with her homeless boyfriend is not a typical homeless person who’s down on their luck. The idea of “rich old women” being something to be diametrically indifferent IS A CHOICE of detriment towards her own future. And, like you said, she will change her mind when she has chosen a path wrongly and obstinate to what she would naturally be inclined towards wanting stability, children and family. Hopefully she makes that determination before she loses the luxury of what she has been afforded youth, mobility and attractiveness.
She’s young and idealistic. Optimism socialism to the core.
@Heather Walker Spot on.
ignorant comment
As a father of two daughters this is so painful to see. I hope she is safe and have found a place of her own
there are men that are homeless s well?
She chose this ?
Probably a rebellion daughter. I wonder if her patent still accept her if she go home.
@@myname8513 No, she did NOT. I don't know if you assumptionists are blind, deaf, or anything else, but 📢she said her roommate got her out. And that is possibly not her fault.📢

She's just one minute from breaking down into tears. 😢🙏🙏🙏
May she be protected. She's incredibly sweet and the streets can be cruel and evil.
Why do you even feel sorry for her? She's a willing parasite.
She's a degenerate.
/ex-homeless, ex-Democrat
F These people. What a rot on society. She chose this life.
Lies again? Adopted Homes
Lazy, shiftless, undisciplined! A stain on our streets that needs removing.
she smiles the whole time but her eyes lookk so sad ... wish u all the best girl
JoeVan you’re right, her eyes are sad! I’m sure it hasn’t been easy for her.
She's a forced lier though. It's just like something very typical for homeless people in the States. Making things much brighter than they really are. American smile has always been a fake phenomenon.
Артемий Карташев - so very judgement
Артемий Карташев as an American I can agree, I hate it.
I thought so too. She didnt, couldnt look at the camera. Painful to watch.
I couldn't live with myself if I allowed my own sister to be homeless. That's messed up, in my opinion.
Edit: to all the ignorant people commenting assuming my relationship with my family is made in heaven, no. My sister's been kicked out of school, jobs and shared apartments, been addicted to alprazolam (Xanax), owed money, and worst of all, attempted against her own life three times. We NEVER gave up on her. She lived for a few months with me while she sort herself out and looked for a job. Nowadays she is living with my mom, has had a stable job for over a year, is clean, and paying off her debt.
When I say I couldn't live with myself if she were homeless, I mean it because we've been there. We all struggle with family but what sets us apart is we don't abandon each other when we're less than ideal. Specially since the three of us are all the family we have. Maybe it's a cultural thing.
It sounds like she chose to live that way. Some people prefer that. I say that while I'm lying in my Terperpedic bed with my nature sound machine going because I so don't relate.
So what would you do, let her sit on the couch all while you go to work?
Yeah, what if she is a lying junkie....sometimes people dont want help and have to hit rock bottom....
You are right ,The sister should help her at least let her sleep at n her place and support her but people don't care
My brother is homeless. I do feel bad like you say, but he is dangerous and I can’t let him live with me.
i never ever saw in my life such a beautiful homeless women ever for real, take care.
her teeth are freakin beautiful
savvi: her teeth are nice because she's only been on the streets for 6 months, check back with her teeth in 5 years if she's still homeless
Benjamin Wilson congrats on your rude, unfunny comment
savii Nicole you are very beautiful to

SUPERCARS OF BRAZIL HENRY MORA excellent catch. she's from upper middle class no doubt
Homeless boyfriend... Explains it all.
Get away from him girl before its too late.
I bet he's tall
@Live to ride Ride to live We are witnessing the last throes of American society before it collapses.
@Live to ride Ride to live The glorification of tall males in the media has really regressed and destroyed modern females. Especially due to them having bad priorities. Females these days prioritize tallness in a male more than him being a provider for her, her children, him being non-abusive, him treating her well, him not being a drug addict, him being a good person, all of that takes a back seat to a male's height to modern females. Modern females really have their priorities out of wack! This is the last throes of American society we're witnessing and the media has destroyed it and American females are accomplices to this.
She started out smiling and saying she liked the fresh air and to travel. I was waiting for an adventure story and I got a sad one instead. She shouldn't be getting her "Fresh" air while panhandling along the boulevard and "traveling" to a new freeway overpass to sleep at night. People don't fake depression, they fake being OK.
Even if she could afford a van that would be a safer place to live
"People don't fake depression, they fake being OK"
This.
Fresh air? It's LA🤦♀️
What you are saying is so true I just don't "like" it.
@@Ash-gj2lf yes, but a vehicle requires an address, insurance and gas to move it when the police come. Repairs when it’s broken into and $$ to get it out of tow … great idea
It’s hard for me to believe she’s truly content where she’s at. Her eyes seem to tell a different story. I really hope she doesn’t incur anymore trauma on the streets than she probably already has, and I really hope she gets off the streets soon.
She cappin fr
@@HellusRaizen agreed
She probably broke down in tears afterwards
I know right? I was sensing the same.
I know. I feel like what she's really saying is that she's staying alive, and that it's only slightly better than the alternative. Sad.
I'm so frustrated by people saying the homeless are just lazy. My uncle was a well-off bank manager, but became homeless due to mental illness. He was gone for almost 10 years when a family friend saw his picture in a paper, apparently a kind stranger tried to help him reconnect with his family. Sure enough, we found him. He lived with us in the house for three years. Due to his condition we never pushed him to get a job, we were happy to take care of him. He had a warm bed, free food, free cigarettes and nice clothes we gave him. Yet, one day while we were out shopping he disappeared again. He was gone another two years, and when we finally found him again he had developed severe Alzheimer's and looked even worse than the last time. He is now safe in a mental institution, because we are afraid he might take off to the streets again. Everytime we visit him he'll tell us his delusional secret plan of escaping the facility. It does not seem like he really understands what the place is and why he is there. I'm just happy to see that after all he has been through, uncle Hans still has some sense of humour left.
Funny story about uncle Hans: he would ALWAYS go for seconds at dinner. While he stayed with us, this one time my parents weren't home and I had to cook for him and my brothers. I was maybe 16 at the time. Since we did not have mince in the fridge, I decided to make some myself by putting steak in the blender. I also added some unused instant noodle beef flavouring, because why not right? The end result was some disgusting meat paste mixed with pasta. That night I heard him say "no thanks, I'm full" for the very first time. Not even a former homeless man would stand for my cooking 😂
@@JohnBowl14690I hope you never forget how lucky you are that your parents worked hard to be able to own a 2nd home and are generous enough to share it. I hope one day you pay it forward. 🙏🏻
be careful though people with mental illness can also be a danger to others or themselves I have a freind who keeps attacking his mom and ending up in the physch ward.
@WER Doomed I mean it could happen but I also doubt it was that smooth. When my mom tried to help my mentally ill cousin he ended up pooping all over himself in bed. And ended up back in a physch ward
Had an uncle similarly worked in a bank, but developed mental illness after falling off a ladder. His life changed after that. Be very careful of your footing guys and watch out for others close to you.

You've hit rock bottom when you get to a point where you don't even have a wish . As someone who has been through the system , I know how she feels .
Fuckin Eh , agree with you 100%
So true!
I think there is a group of people who aren’t “disabled” enough to qualify for government assistance and are too “disabled” to hold down a 9-5pm.on top of that transportation and the cost of housing makes it impossible for some people to be employed consistently because they never recover from being evicted or being fired. It’s almost impossible to find a job if you are homeless and lack transportation. Our country thrives on a guaranteed underclass of people in poverty and unless you have a compassionate family or a group of people to help close the gaps on basic needs getting out of poverty is nearly impossible.

Society is so bad people prefer to be homeless. This speaks volumes
People whom are bad society does not do anything people make up the society so ponder mister
It's all society's fault right
I mean she had one bad job. She could work at a less cut throat salon, she just has so little perspective.
Society is fine. The problem is in people's minds. I can't imagine myself being unemployed and homeless only because I know how to money and the job market work. Smart people will always find a way to make their lives better, and stupid people will always find an excuse for their uselessness
No, people prefer to not work.
Oh man does this ring true for me. The vacant, empty stare and convincing yourself you're actually better off homeless than working in a toxic environment. Realistically both are bad and I hope she got into some sort of facility.
You can see that she’s still unwinding from that terrible work experience. The job obviously ruined her mental health. Toxic work environments can kill, this is what people need to understand, that some people kill themselves because of mistreatment at work. Abuse kills.
@@WhoWho569 yep. I worked my first retail job and after a year and a half of torture, I was fired shortly before I'd quit. Boy was I unprepared for that mental bootcamp. It took me 5 years to even consider re-entering the retail workforce as I was marred by it and never wanted to work in a customer service environment ever again. I can tell you that it still gives me anxiety, but I've gotten a little better about it. Maybe I'm starting to forget how bad it truly was. Anywho, I've spent all this time working independently and doing odd jobs that don't involve much socializing. I'm trying to get back into a career but its nerve-wracking to even attend an interview. Corporate work culture can wreck people's heads, that's why I hope I can reach financial independence someday and dodge the rat race entirely.. some people were made for it, but others will fall to the wayside
@@Zeldafan1ify omg SAME. Took me about 6 years to get somewhat back to normal. Retail and customer service is no joke
@@WhoWho569 had to quit my old job because of the abuse, it got to the point where I cried in my car every day after work for at least half an hour. I was in hs and for so long my parents wouldn’t let me quit eventually I just told them I’m doing this and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise
Being homeless beats being in an abuse work environment. Facilities are dangerous too, rampant assaults and thefts, scummy employees, abusive police, etc. Hope she finds a job that treats her right and pays her well.
She's a very articulate young lady. I can't imagine the heartbreak if a parent sees their child in a video like this. I pray she stays safe and finds her way. She has many talents.
Agree totally. She a bit lost due all those that were around her. Shame on them for treating her badly she is a lovely soul.
She's in escape mode - not wanting or wishing for anything is a flight response. I hope that she can find enough strength to fight again for a life she wants, instead of fleeing a life she hated.

There’s so much more to her story. You don’t just dislike working under rude people so you choose homelessness. Not everyone is made to conform to societal standards and has the capacity to keep taking losses when you sincerely try your best. One thing she is right about is if she is able to keep her mental sanity and emotional regulation living on the streets she has the privilege of looking like the kind of person that can easily turn things around with personal will.

Sometimes thinking of being homeless sounds so freeing. No more mortgage or other bills, no more working at a job you don't like, no more family obligations, no more car trouble. I wouldn't last long in the streets, but I still fantasize about it.
Quick tip never take a loan out for a car
Yeah well it sucks

@Dominus Vobiscum exactly some people just don't want to work blame liberalism
I have never been homeless but a few years ago I took a homeless married couple in that I knew. Gave them my whole basement rent free. Even let them drive my 2nd vehicle. All I asked them to do was 1) keep their living area clean and 2) work hard everyday to find jobs, save money, and get back on their feet. They trashed my basement, wrecked my truck twice, and lied to me about their employment/lack of employment situation. That was my good deed for the homeless of my life and I am done. Never again. I refuse to help anyone who won't try to help themselves.
Michael Whitlow sounds like someone i know, this guy has a 15 year old kid that he hasn't seen in years, refuses to pay child support, lives with other people off and on, can never pay rent because whenever he gets paid any money from working a side job he gambles all of the money away because he is a gambling addict and ends up getting thrown out of these places and always ends up being homeless as usual, and he gambles his food stamps away every month too, and doesn't want to try to get a real paying job, people have tried helping him before but always ended up being a lost cause
Had a similar situation with someone close. Paid their rent several times to get them off the street. Told them to get some mental health help and stay sober. Did neither. All it does is enable them.
vista7 I had a boyfriend like that. I dumped his ass.
Michael Whitlow you are a good person, dont stop helping bc of what happenned you bc of that horrible persons
Michael Whitlow yep most are just lazy and don't want to work for what they get.
She seems like a nice genuine person. All the best to her and may she be protected.
I can tell from the teeth that she probably came from a good home, seems pretty well educated too. I can tell she’s had some bad luck but I hope she finds a life that treats her well.
It sounds like she has a place to go when she gets tired of whatever it is she is doing. She said as much "I can and I will". Assuming nothing horrible happens to her and that she doesn't get on some horrible drugs. Had she taken a slightly different route, she looks like one of those young youtubers who travel around living out of their cars/vans.
She started out all smiles, then her demeanor changed profoundly when she started to explain the path she took to becoming homeless. This young girl is not happy and I'm sure some stabilty with kind people would be welcome. God bless her!
I think you misunderstood her. She had an opportunity to make 3 wishes. She said she is enjoying not needing anymore then what she already has.
@@Paddyjay12 That itself (not wishing) reveals a lot..... reveals the extent of the sadness within her....she's become cynical and feels even wishes might be deceptive... just like the others who she trusted. There are layers to this.
Theres something more to her story. Shes happy, intelligent and well spoken externally but you see shes guarding. I hope shes safe and is secure somewhere.

For sure. She is trying to play it off as no big deal or that it's. personal choice which works until you hit 30.
My mom is homeless in California too, but she lives out of her car and works for the post office so she makes decent money. She lost her place last year, so she keeps her stuff in storage/her car, and showers at a gym. I always ask her if she’s lookin for an apartment or would move out of state but she’s content not having major expenses or responsibilities financially.

Becoming homeless isn't a choice but staying homeless is a choice for sure.
I can tell that she is a really good sweet person! Hopefully she finds her way in life, i wish her the best!
Ex homeless here, and I agree with a lot of what she says. Lost my job and my ex left and rents were too high in seattle. What the experience taught me is that the endless pressure of capitalism is a stress of a different kind from the stress of deprivation, and in many ways far worse. Having freedom of time is so critical for the human mind, and I lacked all of that when I was working before.
Now I am very fortunate in that I found a place to live that is relatively cheap and I have a job that allows me to work very little. In a way I feel like I've found a small quiet patch in the center of the swirling storm that is capitalism. I don't know if it will last, but if it doesn't I know that I would prefer to have my freedom and deal with some privation than work 8 hours of my day for someone who only sees me as a tool to make them more wealthy.
The people though, the people were hard. The worst parts of being homeless were not the weather or the lack of things it was the people - mostly the people who are not homeless. The existential fear on display in the anger (seen on the street and in these comments) is similar to the fear I felt before I was homeless. You need to degrade these people because if they are not like you on some fundamental level then you can never become like them: homeless. It still makes my heart sick to see how cruel fear can make us as a species.
Wow, your comment really makes one think about all the things we stress about in society that's so trivial and pointless. It's ruined us really as a whole. We worry about status and materialism...where does that get us? Unhealthy and miserable. I've had a great job and Independence to having no job and being a SAHM who depends on her fiance for pretty much anything needed, making it where he got away with things I never would've done...I've been kicked out and homeless for nothing that was my doing nor anything I'd put anyone out for even if it had been their fault. It was heartbreaking...I was so scared... Never rely on anyone's promises. Even the most standup people will surprise you.

No matter what she says. You can see the desperation, depression and uncertainty in her eyes. No one should live this life.
I had the exact thought.
I believe that she wants to do this right now, that she likes the freedom. But I do agree that there is some sadness. Having a job and a house does give you some security.
You can have that opinion, but I’ll tell you it’s annoying when someone is like “my heart breaks for you!!!” ‘How can I help????😃’ I mean they’re trying to be nice but I can assure you they do not want people to alleviate their suffering. If they didn’t want to suffer they wouldn’t be.
I know 😢
I felt that rather she was reminded of her past life and she somehow lost those years for good and have none profit from them. She could maybe still live in her area in U.S not knowing so much about this broken rich society she was used by.
She looks as if she's about to cry her eyes out at any moment.
Hope she is better now.
Agree. Sad.

@Zayn J You're the only kind of it around here..
Disagree.
Nearly 10 years ago I sold all of my things and left home, just drove. Ended up in Florida, got a job the same week and lived out of my car. That time I was the happiest, productive and carefree I've ever been, mentally and creatively. Made a fun group of friends, established my regiment at the gym and public bathrooms, and i didn't require much. Some days off id just sit in a parking lot with snacks and a blanket watching CZcams. Now I have a desk job, a Mortgage, 2 cars, a fiance and my mental health is nowhere near the quality it used to be. It's difficult to know what you want out of life, it's best to learn yourself and Guage what makes you happy. Sometimes that means sacrificing some "luxuries", but eventually you'll appreciate that you did. Don't believe the hype. Happiness is determined by YOU and what YOUR needs, don't live through others and set your own standards.
Interesting experience and thought process.. one question - will u be able to go back to that lifestyle again?b(genuinely asking)
Should have built assets instead of liabilities...
please talk more about your life
shes homeless but she talks like an entrepreneur like she can decide when she works
If you work for others you are always a paid slave...some people prefer this lifestyle with all the consequences but at least they feel free and need to answer to no one
@Owen Klingbeil i am not saying you can not enjoy your life or work being a "slave". Many people love routines, dogmas and live a apparent happy life without making a lot of questions. How many of us could decide to stop working for 1 year just to enjoy 365 days of free time? How many of us could tell our bosses that we were going to work only 50perc of the time even if accepted to receive less? Modern world made almost all of us money slaves, with the illusion we have to work hard do fullfill our dreams and have a good social reputation but in fact this idea was created to make few very very rich. There are exceptions i am sure of that and even people that work as volunteers for less than a hot meal but with love and dedication.
@Farmoboy83 Most people can't see outside the box. They only understand working, getting loans on everything they want... never the bigger picture. If you don't have loans on everything you can actually work less. There is this thing called saving money and only purchasing what you can afford. Heck 🤷🏽♀️
What they share in common is resourcefulness and trust in themselves which is earned through experience and hardship. Entrepeneurs face all kinds hardship initially too. They think outside the box which brings to them lower lows and higher highs in life compared to the average person. God willing this girl will be fine given a stronger than average character to face hardship
@Jem Harper Who said her life was special. She said it was better than wage slavery. I think she's telling the truth, although I also think she's going to realise she is wrong. I hope she realises it's wrong before something bad happens and before she paints herself into a corner.
I hope God protects her from any harm🤗
Does that harm protection start with preventing her from being homeless? Give god all the credit for the "good" stuff but not for the "bad" stuff that happen to people. Makes sense.
How did this become a religious debate wtf
It's sad when god makes people homeless. He chooses only the people he prefers to be happy. What an asshole. :-(
Like "The God Delusion" says, God is jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. If you want proof of all of this, just read the bible. But at the end, the bible is a fiction book to me.
+Cleft Sie I read the bible, but couldn't get past when god killed first borns and killed everyone by a flood. Sure, you may agree that innocent people should be killed, but I don't. In fact, I think it's barbaric.
It doesn't make sense. She implied that shes working. Homeless is terribly dangerous for young single women. Violence is the norm. As an adult man, even I was paranoid that at anytime while asleep someone could come up and kick the shit out of me while trapped in a sleep. There were a string of brutal attacks in Denver. It's just not worth the risk to avoid cutting hair, which honestly is far better than day labor. It can't be worse than minimum wage for digging ditches or heavily lifting all day long.
Jason West well said, I have a friend who digs ditches by hand, no CAT machine etc. it's horrible. I live in Denver too. I remember those attacks
Jason West g
Jason West um maybe dont sleep in public place???? in 12 years homeless never had problem, cause i sleep in wild bush where noone ever goes, specelly at night.
Nowadays if a woman claims shes a target for violence more so than men she'll be labelled a crazy feminist bitch.
So what do you think is a valid excuse, other than actual statistics?
She's not happy even though she's trying to convince herself she is, she's depressed. She averts her eyes a lot and her face expresses a lot of sadness.
Finally someone in the comments who has some sense. They have very little to no knowledge about body language and how it speaks volumes above the crap that comes out of a persons mouth
As she speaks , you can see the sadness creep up . I hope that she finds her way .
Shes trying so hard to be strong, she can't even let herself think about 3 wishes... :( im sending her love light and strength ✨ she has a beautiful soul i hope shes okay...x
Marry me to a girl who wants to change her life for the better
I'm serious
Who is interested send me without shame
So for some perspective, I’m also in her position. After getting out of the Marines, I went back home to South Carolina and realized how much I hated it back home. I made the decision that I would rather be homeless but happy in California over working and being miserable back home. I left everything behind with 500 dollars in my pocket and the items I could fit in my car. My first day in San Diego, I got a job as a line chef and have been living in my car ever since. I enjoy the freedom. And for those saying we do it to avoid responsibility, you’re absolutely right. No one likes paying bills. So I’m going to avoid that by staying in my car. Is it the comfiest? No. But it’s a choice that saves me money and stress and gives me more time and energy to focus on being happy now in the moment :)
Codi Royer you should try to find a cheap camping van of some sort
Did the same. Just came from a different state..back east is all shit and boredom. 9 months of cold weather doing nothing but worrying about bills in a frozen tundra..no thank you.
I was a marine myself u will do ok whereever you land i think ! Have you ever considered vermont its alot dif then the carolinas. And depending on what town ur in theres farmhouses still up here going for about 20 k nice people to its a scenic state but not to much to do though lol
Good luck not being able to bring girls back to your place since there isn't a place to bring them back to. Seems like an inconvenience more than anything dude, even if you have to get a shitty apartment, get it, better than living in a car.
scarletcrusade77 Exactly
This is heart breaking, a young lady with her life in front of her living in a tent....hope she broke free of that vicious cycle!
Physically homeless but mentally not homeless. The soul is searching for something permanent in her life. My prayers for you. The pain of the soul is way more than the pain of the flesh. May the Lord heal your pain
Now that's a smart comment.
Amen 🤍
🙏🏽 amen amen
She keeps repeating herself as if though she’s trying to convince herself so that she can stay strong!
Everyone playing Dr. Freud. Shut up and listen. Quit analyzing and judging as a way to self soothe. It's annoying and obvious.

@@jzz8083 BRUHHHHHH
It’s absolutely beautiful what you do. Showing us that all humans deserve dignity
She's confident and believes she can get out of being homeless when ever she wants..
1:15 that's confidence
That's her youth shining through. Hope it doesn't get smudged out too soon on the streets.
True you really can get out it with some hard work but it’s so easy to go back to homelessness
@EE DR 1:15 gives you an insight of her confidence. It's just briefly.
You can get out of being homeless until one day you just cant'
Someone hurt her deeply and she's got that exterior of, "this is great and fun and nomadic and all I want or need". But deep down you can tell she wishes someone loved her enough to save her.
Ouch...
I couldn't see that deep.
But say it like that and....
Ouch.
loved her enough to save her - that's a dangerous way to think and all the love in the world can't change an addict or a certain type of person drawn to a certain type of life. when they want to get help they will try, or maybe they'll ask you. but don't allow yourself to go around thinking you can heal people if you love them more. they can destroy you because you kept giving when noone asked.
get rid of the homeless boyfriend
Why can't she just be "happy" in the rat race like the rest of us! She's obviously sad, you can see it through her smile... Unlike the happiness I've displayed on my Instagram account... Jesus, someone save this young lady.........
In old times a man wouldn't let a young lady like this live on the street but her living on the street is the result of woke feminists. You woke people have lead this society down a horrible path.
I think she and I would be friends. I appreciate her optimism and perspectives. I hope she's doing well.
I went through a homeless phase. It was pretty chill. I had two jobs. I worked 60+ hours a week, got to keep most of my money (aside from taxes, car payments and insurance). I had my car and slept in the back seat. I also had my hammock. I used to sleep by a waterfall near by during it's busiest hours (so I felt safe) I had my radio and a book and I just looked like I was enjoying the park like everyone else. Which I was!!
I kept my cold foods in the refrigerators at either job and would pack sandwiches for myself after clocking out. I'd freshened up at Wegmans in their family bathroom before work or at the gym. I washed clothes at the laundromat while I'd watch netflix on my phone. I kept a suitcase of clean clothes in the trunk of my car and a pouch with makeup and washes.
I'd hike a lot, sun bathe, read, sleep on the beach, it was hard sometimes sure. But it had more pros than cons.
I had a roommate but we didn't didn't vibe well. We had a townhouse apartment but it only lasted a few months. I paid her rent but she stopped paying THE rent. I was dumb and co-signed our lease. I couldn't afford to pay the rent fully on my own. I also called her out for talking to her supposed abusive ex boyfriend, who we got the apartment to get her away from. She had a new boyfriend but was still talking to her ex and letting him pay her phone bill and laughed about him being a fool for catering to her. I told her she was making her life and mine a joke if she was going to allow him in her life and asked if she was really ever abused. She stopped talking to me and living in that house with her was one of the most toxic and energy draining few months of my life. She moved out while I left for work one night. I had a feeling it was all for show and that she just wanted me to leave. I honestly thought she'd move back in if I left. The sofa I slept on had been hacked up and when I came home from work in the morning the cushions were placed back on but if I'd sayt in it I would have been stabbed. I packed up my things and gave my keys back to the rental office and told them we'd both left and to change the locks.
I'd picked up the second job towards the end of us living together, but it wasn't in time to keep the apartment. It took some time to get my first paycheck. I was embarrassed but I even asked my pastor if I could get any help from the church. But we were 2 months behind in rent and I still wasn't sure that I'd be able to keep up the payments.
The back seat of the car wasn't always comfy, and I'd day dream of having a living room to just watch a movie in or invite friends over to. But honestly now that I have a place again, with my boyfriend, we haven't had anyone over. And I feel so lazy. I've gained like 25 lbs where as before, I HAD to find something to do. I was always on a trail, going for a drive, looking for new places to explore. I went sky diving, which I never thought I'd do. You find things to do when it's too hot to sleep.
Working day and night though did leave me with very little time to sleep and I would get deliriously tired at work sometimes. I would sleep for 2-3 hours at a time sometimes only getting one small pocket of sleep in a 24 hour stretch. One time before opening the store I meant to take a st john's wort (for a healthy perspective on the day) and ginseng (for energy) while I waited for my cashier after I'd just gotten off of an overnight shift at the wholesale club and I accidentally took a melatonin. I was seeing stars exhausted that day. Have you ever been so tired that you literally felt sick? I swear I was seeing colors that day. I crashed in my car in the parking lot after work that afternoon.
I had my storage unit with an apartments worth of furniture and I'd swap out my seasonal clothes and shoes and rotate books, drawing books, comics and jewelry. I wanted to become a minimalist and gave much of my things to thrift stores. I started to realize that I didn't need a lot of it.
Waking up at 4am with a strong urge to pee and walking into a Wawa or walmart half awake to use the bathroom isn't fun. But it's something you can chuckle at later.
I didn't mean to write so much.
2015 was such a strange, hard, beautiful year though!
That was interesting to read I lived on a 24 hour luxury gym parking lot for 3 weeks it was the same hard at times but I was working out all hours of the day stretching out by the pool reading for hours it was alright. It was interesting reading about your experiences there is certainly more than one way to live this life. May you stay protected and blessed in Yashua name amen
I wanted to read more of your story. Write a book about your experience please I’m sure there are many people who are interested in those small personal struggles/details. I kept reading until the end and I was like “I wanna read more”

Ppl are being drama here. You can be happy and homeless. She obviously is capable to turn everything around but she chose this lifestyle. There are pros and cons in being homeless. You can make more money this way for example. It just depends on what your goals are. People need to be aware that there are people with different point of views than them.
Sheesh , yea I was homeless on and off for a couple years , she was holding back towards the end ! I felt her heart and it’s sad , I been and felt what she’s feeling and I hope she’s okay and finds what she’s looking for !! All in all.. homelessness isn’t the answer but for some odd reason it does feel good to be fully detached from reality and all the bs it throws your way! Bless her soul and the journey she travels ! ♥️🇺🇸🎬🕊🤟🏻
It's incredible how everyone in the comments know how she really feels...
Well said.
We live life not truly knowing how anyone feels...but having an opinion is how we navigate reality.
True - But, also, it is the comment section. Everyone has an opinion; if that opinion can't be voluntarily shared, especially in a free and open society, then there is only tyranny. Of course, CZcams is part of Google, a private company, so, they, or the uploader, could easily just turn off and/or censor the comment section.
@Some One did you mean iq? Lol
@Some One LMAO loser
She’s in survival mode like most homeless. She couldn’t let herself think of three wishes because that would re-start an emotional process that she’s probably suppressed. My guess anyway
Sounds like me
Yep.
@Troy Z 100+ liked what i had to say. but one person with a picture of a nude male torso feels uncomfortable, so i guess that's somehow significant.
@Troy Z yeah, it's the world that's wrong, you're the one that's right
@Troy Z the way you comment sort of tells me you're probably in a lot of pain. i feel bad for you
Depression is as bad as any illness. There are so many lovely people that would consider it an HONOR to help you through whatever it is that's keeping you back
I feel like she was holding back her crying
So do you.
@@phoenixj1299 so do you
@@phoenixj1299 so were* you
I didnt get that at all. She seems like she just has a mellow personality and likes the simpler things in life.
No, she seemed content with her choice. She might've been disappointed in some people, but not her choices.
"Freedom's just an other word for nothing left to lose."
So the rich are not free?
Or people with any possessions must not be free?
“Freedom” does not equal “possessions” Lance

Freedom is a state of mind, it does not matter if you have money for not, it's a mind set.
A question this interviewer should add to all his interviews is " Has it been safe living homeless so far? "
The answer to that is obvious. NO?
@@TheStorm45 Maybe the one brain cell you have left isn't functioning either. I didn't ask you or anyone a question.
Beautiful young girl like her on the street with homeless men and non homeless men is never going to be safe. Even a dude is not safe sleeping on the street at night.
@Matthew Williams Another bottom feeder angry at the world.
Oh I look silly?
Your opinion of my pfp?
Do I give a shit about it?
No.
Did I ask your opinion?
No.
Should you keep your nose in your own lane?
Yes.
@Mariah Fox all the more reason to highlight it .
Delilah, bless you sister, you do you and enjoy your freedom and stay safe out there. Your eyes reveal a lot of pain but your character is one of positivity and love.
I just want to hug her!
She’s so beautiful. I hope she found happiness and safety.
It's because people want to be free as we're meant to be, we don't want to live life as slaves to money.
rilec But she is now slave to walkers
Faisal Al-Enizi better than a slave to money
MikeDeezki No!!
She begs passers by for their money!
She’s now double slave!!
money and passers by!
It's called a Hostile Work Environment.
When people work: They want a paycheck.
Not face a continuation of High School Bullying.
I know exactly how she feels.
So true. People never grow out of highschool they just learn how to operate and mask themselves better. I'll never forget once in a hair salon i was getting a haircut with my dad, when the two ladies were done and went upto the cash the one who did my dads hair had to be so petty and snarky and say "how is it that every time i can finish faster AND better?! Hm". She was younger, which was appalling because of the disrespect, ans the older woman, through learned behaviour just bowed her head down and accepted it. This happened often clearly and was not mutual laughing matter. The younger one was also looking for such things to say when it made no sense to be comparing because i had much longer thicker hair
Exactly. why is a hostile work environment so acceptable? Video is from 2017....wonder how she is doing now?
patricia mihai Exactly bruh that shit is stupid... Im a mechanic in the Air Force and its people like that that have to make everything a competition... Shit is annoying... Its not even that serious..
No one wants to be verbally abused every day its a shame.
@crooko dile Its better than the communistic hierarchy
The eyes are the gateway to the soul. And you can see her soul is crushed in this video. Makes my heart hurt. I hope the best for her and her future.
She's in a denial stage, her eyes is telling everything!
Her soul is hurt.
She's headed down the wrong path. All that, "I am going to enjoy me freedom while I can" is not her idea. It was implanted by the boyfriend who woo'd her into this lifestyle. If she met another man, I bet she would not live like this. She's being controlled by a sociopath and sadist who loves to see her suffer.
@@dawudasha977 how can you tell
she is past the denial stage. The point when you realise that being a wage slave to a plutocrat will never serve her. The moment she stopped to belief the lie that one day she will get rewarded for her efforts.
She woke up to the reality that the world is going down the shithole towards a dystopia of a few rich capitalists and a world of slaves in a game of monopoly that is fixed where you are doomed to lose.
She has claimed back her time and stopped serving plutocracy by no longer consuming and producing.
An interesting point of view. She could become a CZcamsr. I saw some interesting content lately where this homeless person, who lived out of his van, was doing okay producing CZcams content. He made enough to continue his lifestyle, and he used his $10/month gym membership for their showers. Therefore she could make the most of her time, consume very little, and produce a little too
Watching this in 2022, I wish there was updates on these homeless people 😒 I really hope she’s doing well💛
Just imagine that, she rather be homeless than working for the angry rich lady. some people are monsters
I was just with her last night at a motel room in Los Angeles
She just dont want a job a time schedule shit a place to be in general
She's my girlfriend she has a job now
@@williejopheyn5455 nice info, thanks
@@williejopheyn5455 same, she was in my apartament 3 days ago.
Homeless 🐱 is tight af ngl
The beautiful irony about having nothing is that it makes you realise you need nothing, suddenly you want nothing, and it's a wonderful place to be. Yes, she is clearly sad, but she's also peaceful. This is a transitional state, a recharging period. She's aware of this too, she said she knows she has options for the future.
I used to work as a LVN in CA, 9-5 job, was passionate about it, made 26/H, and it still wasn't enough to pay through the bills and rent and became homeless anyway living in my car, campground, parking lots, and motels.
I don't blame some or many people that are homeless since life is very complicated and society VERY expensive! I just hope and pray for the best for me and everyone that's struggling in this world.
God bless.
You should have left CA. There are much cheaper places to live in this country.
That means you earn 200$ everyday, but still that not enough ! 🤔
What on earth did you do with all that money then? What did you eat, not home-cooked meals..? All restaurants, cafes, clubs, bars, car, poisons? I never had more than $ 1000- $ 1100 a month, now only $ 400. I need help. All the nice good people are here on YT, but not outside where I am existing. The imkigrantbeggars are healthy , self-assured and have close friends and family; I am oo traumatized to be able to sit freezing begging on the street, I have to struggle to eat, sleep and find help, and save my life..
@6078 TOUHIDUR RAHMAN
California is a very expensive pal and lots of requirements to rent a home -- most rental homes in coastline CA are from 1.9k to 4k and need to win triple of that. The salary at best looks like a proper minimum wage for California.
@Claudia Bothner
In California standards, it isn't much. To rent a home you have to make up 3 times the rent and your average CA home are from 1.9k to 4k which is more than what I earned as a LVN -- also you need references, great credit, etc...
Literally states like California are for the rich and upper-class cause most ain't winning more than 120k yearly.
i was homeless too and i know how she feels. She was probably betrayed by someone who she listens to. She doesn't have mental strength to love herself because she feels like it's her fault somehow. She needs someone to have faith in her.
I didn't read that at all from her. I think she was content and at peace. She just didn't want to participate in society anymore. That's a healthy impulse.
Maybe she feel betrayed by society. She moved to LA to study cosmetology and ended up working with nasty clients who obviously don't treat her with respect only to get fired and then berayed by a roommate. After getting destabilized in this way she may have given up for a while. I don't buy her ever so casually romanticing her decision.
To me it seems that the boyfriend who has been homeless for many many years was a negative influence.
Bf or gf can always be a ruiner unfortunately
How can you tell?
I agree. A partner should try to lift their partner up. Not drag them down.
thats just an assumption and not a fair one.
@@avacadotoast5492 wtf :'D
I remember when I was a kid I actually wanted to be homeless because I thought they were so free compared to other adults 😅
Be so rich and you will be free. The one who will keep bothering you is the tax guy.
It seems a significant fraction of homeless are people who just went through a schocking/traumatic experience, like they suddenly lost their house and/or job. We need to prioritize getting these people back in society.
Society is what put them there in the first place for whatever reason , every one has their own life journey , I call life these days modern slavery where you got to grind your guts out just to live and to me that’s is not living it’s existing ground hog day every day oh what joy.
Alot of us dont want to be a part of modern society, alit of us are tired of being enslaved by money, government, and society, no i dont panhandle but yes i am homeless by choice, everywhere ive been its no problem finding a days work here and there to get necessary supplies,also i make cool shit and trade for what i need, its not that difficult if you dont look like a rundown drug freak, it is very rewarding, freedom, if you dont have a monkey on your back, ie drugs or alcohol, fuk society, fuk money and last but not LEAST FUK THE GOVERNMENT, i am no ones fuking slave anymore
Who's "We"? Who's needs need prioritizing?
We need to prioritize including them into society. Society outcasts the homeless. Society is the problem
@@philswaim392 Blame anybody but yourself for being homeless.
The fiction we tell ourselves can help us live through reality.
May be all the humanity being is about pretending, we all live in our own fiction
Montreal Roller I felt that
Life is all about perspective, so it may no be fiction, you solve the food and shelter problems and your brian focuses on other problems. We are used to our lifestyle now but almost every type of life has its benefits.
That's what I do just pretend that I'm okay but the fact is the odds are this cancer is going to kill me in a few years I would rather be homeless than to have a death sentenced
That’s a hippie not a junkie
Justin Mitchell agreee
Don’t call them junkies
That's a person.
yeah but i bet she's working on it
Well there could be a very good reason that she chose to live like this,I mean why would you give up a home for streets who knows what she has suffered or is suffering from.
This gives me so much perspective and gratitude. Thank you to this lady and to the ones behind all this
