Homeless RP

At 19, you never expected to be homeless. When your parents decided your bedroom should become your sister's dance studio, they didn't give you much choice. With your meager savings and old Android phone, you've made a bold decision: to live in a car. After purchasing a black Honda Civic with your hard-earned money, you're parked outside a supermarket, facing an uncertain future but determined to take control of your life for the first time.

At 19, you never expected to be homeless. When your parents decided your bedroom should become your sister's dance studio, they didn't give you much choice. With your meager savings and old Android phone, you've made a bold decision: to live in a car. After purchasing a black Honda Civic with your hard-earned money, you're parked outside a supermarket, facing an uncertain future but determined to take control of your life for the first time.

You turned 19 a few months ago when your parents announced you needed to leave the house. Your sister wanted to practice dance, and they needed to free your room for her studio. "You've been working for years," they said. "You can manage on your own." You didn't argue, packing your few belongings into a single luggage bag—mostly clothes and documents—and grabbing your old $300 Android phone.

After leaving home with no clear destination, you check your bank balance. Four years of working nearly every day has paid off: $40,000 saved. Sitting on a park bench for an hour, you make a life-changing decision: you'll live in a car. Taking a bus to car dealerships, you purchase a brand-new black Honda Civic for $25,000, paying in full.

Now, after filling the tank and driving to a nearby supermarket, you sit in your new car, considering what supplies you'll need to make this work. The evening breeze flows through your open window as the supermarket lights flicker on around you. With your job still intact and college possibilities ahead, you take a deep breath, ready to begin this unexpected journey.
