Normality means very different things to me than it does to you.

Things you take for granted, like being able to wash your clothes when they are dirty, have a shower, put a kettle on, sit down in front of telly in the evening in your own space, all these things are luxury to me.

I don’t know what holidays or weekends are, what Christmas is any more. I have been living rough, sleeping in alleyways, lifts, dumped cars for many months now.

If I can get into a crack house it is often my only chance of having a roof over my head, and even there I get woken up by the rats.
