What a year it has been.
I have truly been dreading tomorrow…the thought of it brings me to tears…it has been a heavy week for me.
This is this thing that pisses me off about the holidays, everyone wants to give during the months of November and December…god what an asshole I am….upset with people wanting to give. Think about it though…what do those folks in need do during March, July, or October?
I was sitting comfy in my bar stool tonight and saw a nice looking homeless man and my thoughts just went mad.
How dumb am I? I am able to sit in my favorite bar, snug in my warm jacket, enjoying a conversation with friends while this poor guy stares longingly into the window.
My thoughts got heavier as I drove home. Some man was slouched over on a park bench trying to fall asleep.
How does this not rip people’s hearts apart? How can people say they deserve where they are because they have earned it? How can people sit there for 10 months and not even ponder what these people are doing when it is raining outside, when all they want is a calm moment in their lives so they can rest their heads on a pillow….and why do all of these thoughts seem to creep into peoples heads at the end of November? These people live like this all year long!
I can’t wait to get my degree and my carrier going…I can’t wait to spend all of my months trying to give these people calm moments within their days.
I don’t care what your thoughts are on the homeless community….no one deserves to spend their nights alone hunched over on a park bench.
