Phil & His Girlfriend on Humans of New York
Humans of New York is a blog which catalogs pictures and short interviews / quotes of New York residents, and was started as a kind of census by the founder. I follow it on Facebook and Tumblr, and over the weekend, saw a picture of someone familiar...
Phil and his girlfriend Zoe (the one they're heavily insinuating he's going to cheat on with Jiana) were featured on the blog with the following picture and commentary:
"What was the saddest moment of your life?"
“It was more a collection of moments. My mother and I were homeless when I was growing up. And she was constantly trying to find us places to stay at night. We’d move from shelters, to relatives’ houses, to friends’ houses. One time we slept in a car for an entire month. It wasn’t really the being homeless that was so sad. It was seeing how helpless my mom felt on the nights when she couldn’t find us a place to stay.”
(Based on the Facebook comments, it sounds like they were both homeless at some point, so the commentary may be attributed to her, not him)
