I talked to Emily because she's got cool hair, but she knows I'm in the adjacent crowd so she just walked away slowly.

Homeless Adjacent

Describing one who is not without a home, but likes to act as if they are
ie.: •sometimes lives in the car out of choice, not obligation

•enjoys spending time at odd, anonded buildings, parks, etc

•works a job that is ordinarily accepted by society, but would rather pretend that they don’t

I love my best friend, but sometimes I have to remind her that she’s a contributing member of society with a house and husband, and a regular 9 to 5. And that even though she likes to sleep in her car and busk on the street asking people for money, she’s not actually homeless. She’s just homeless adjacent.
