hey guys... i got home from acting class a while ago and something happened that i cant get my mind off of... well i took my usual 10 minute break and i walked outside to make a phone call... and this man walked up to me (its about 930 at night.. im all alone)... he looked very tired and dirty... he was dark skined and had huge bagd under his eyes... he was wearing a light lacket and torn jeans.... he came unusually close to me and asked me if i could spare him some money... he told me that he is not the typical bum who goes out and buys beer... he said he was going home to feed his children and he was living off of trash food... by the time he finished describing his situation he has almost in tears... i was utterly speechless... i was cornered... but i honestly thought about this man and how he honestly is... he could have been the typical guy who has this whole story planned out that he tells anyone who passes by so he can score a buck or two... for boose or pot... i dont really know what came over me.... i handed the guy a five (the last of my money) and he almost kissed me... he was speechless and i jaw him has he tried to explain his gratitude... i was incredibly touched by his thankfulness... he told me his name and i told him mine... he said taht if he saw me... that he would help me... or return the favor somehow... but yeah.. he left saying god bless you... i wasvery moved by that... and i just cant stop thinking about it... that there are people who rely on others to support them because they are litterally fucked in life... i know that homeless/poor people in some ways dont deserve money and should go get a job and work from scrartch.. but i felt that i should think of someone elce and help someone.. even though it might have been dangerous or wrong... i havent been a giving person latley and it really made me feel better....
