I went to Footscray yesterday for a little shopping
I saw a woman sleeping rough on a bench, wearing the same oodie I have now, the cute panda one
it's warm, it's comfortable, practical
hers was already getting grubby, I suppose I would get grubby too if I slept on benches
and cute, she chose it because it's cute. She could be us, we could be her. π
I can't help everyone, I try to help one person a week .
People often think βIβm too smart, that would never be meβ. But one fateful event - it could be a disabling accident, an abusive partner, a bad financial decision, and circumstances can spiral and life can turn upside down. You are a good person Seagoon, seeing the humanity in everyone.
