Your stomach is excruciating with the pain of emptiness of no food. The aroma of your clothes have a horrid smell to them. Asking for change is like asking the full moon to come out. Went to the shelter to only find that they are booked. So your bed is the cold ,
hard pavement sidewalk. When its cold, you are hoping the layer of clothes falling off of you give you warmth against the cold. Blankets help if you can find one. In the summer, you pray you don’t get a heat stroke. All you can think of is being in better circumstances.
I am a former homeless person. Those times were not fun for me, my mother, or my sister. If we ever got any food, my mother and I would just give it to my little sister. I am so thankful everyday that my family and I were able to get out of that situation . I will never wish anyone to be homeless. But what does sadden me is when people talk about homeless people like they are worthless garbage.
In reference I am referring to a blog that I have read called: The Homeless: Send them Back Where they came From. It is a impelling blog about how one feels about homeless people. I am just amazed by the emotions portrayed on this blog. People who put theirselves on a pedestal of finances downing others that are trying to climb on the ladder to reach their own pedestal. This is why I say treating others the way you want to be treated is the best thing to do. No one is better than anyone. While you are going to Starbucks drinking your morning coffee everyday, you could end up on the streets begging for change at that same coffee shop.
Yes there are some homeless people out there that make the genuine homeless people look bad, but every person is not the same.A lot of homeless people did not choose to be homeless. They did try to invest in their money right. They did try to stay with their husband that continuously beat them. They did try to stay with their parents that were on drugs. They tried to go to charities to save their houses and get them food. They did try to get 3 jobs.
Especially the way the economy is slightly going down, everyone is trying to keep afloat on the finance boat. Just because you give money or your time to charity, does not mean that it is still ok to down others. You help your community out so that makes you a good person. Not technically. Think before you speak because you could end up eating away at your own words. Enjoy!
