I've never been homeless and I've never been on heavy drugs....yet I feel I have so much in common with people who have experienced these things. I always think....that could very well be me. I catch myself feeling sorry for them and feeling grateful for myself that I'm not in their situation....and then I feel guilty for even thinking that way, almost wishing (in a very weird way) that I could either trade places with them, or join them. Addicts in general get a lot of disdain from people who just can't understand and I think it can fuel the shame and anger they feel.<br /><br />ANYway. I'm glad your family was with you, and that you got out of there and into a safe head-space. Your kindness is truly beautiful, Ruby. Hope your trip home is safe. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957669670882585052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-82910544089179787512015-11-29T08:58:03.700-08:002015-11-29T08:58:03.700-08:00I know what you mean, it's so hard to see so m...I know what you mean, it's so hard to see so many people so much worse off. At the same time though, I makes you realize just how much you have, which can be a good thing to remember on the bad days. <br /><br />My friend and I used to make the rounds in Philadelphia with bags of leftovers and dog food. She'd made a mental list of all the homeless people near our school who had dogs. I've been trying to organize something similar the past few years, giving local homeless people things like food and warm clothing, but alas it's not something I can do on my own, and I have yet to find enough people to help me. :/<br /><br />Even if it doesn't feel like it, you made a big impact on at least three people during your stay in the city. Little acts of kindness can give someone an awful lot of hope.
