After an hour of listening to Nathan fill me in on his time moving from one place to another, I realize that he was right for leaving me. All the deadbeat houses and shady people he stayed with would be nothing good for a teenage girl. It's just hard to wrap my mind around the fact that he had to do things he wasn't proud of in order to live day by day. He was basically homeless. Even though he talks about the bad times, he has some good ones too. He mentions one girl a few times that he crossed paths with a few days ago when he got to California. He says she was nice to him and gave him food even though she didn't have much of her own.
"I think her name was Ivy. I don't really remember, but she was the nicest homeless person I had ever had contact with." He smiled at the thought of her.
