Months ago, I moved back in with my sister because her husband left her. Now we're being evicted, and I chose to be homeless with her vs live with my boyfriend. Family comes first.

As a teen, I chose to be homeless for 2 years. It was so reckless. I just wanted to postpone facing my issues a little longer. Now I have even more issues.
