Bro some of my coworkers live in shelters.
Bite me.
When I WAS HOMELESS, I was going to try a shelter. The thing is, something people not form my effing world wont ever understand is, that these people steal, beat up on, pick and torment the weaker less fortunate of the unfortunates.

Youre damned judgmental and naive/
For your information I give more than I should. Like I said I have homeless coworkers that manage to not steal and keep a job in between their situations.
I dont like these people that are separate from being just "homeless and unfortunate". My coworkers are that. This guy wasnt.

These are the people who ruined lives on their way down and crush the spirit of those around them trying to humbly survive in an unfair world.
I did like many people do. Sleep in parks, subways, and work until I had money for a room, then an apartment.
Along the way I would do like anyone does, Survive with help from those in that situation. We brought to the daily table what there was and shared it like it was a lot. My former roommate also became homeless when he got evicted. He was a back I could lean on as I was for him. Others were there at times. We met a lot of people in that process. He was a lot more compassionate as you put it. He got taken advantage of and took longer to get on his feet. It took moving him into my small ass apartment with my family to get him going. Sharing whats on my plate as I have thankfully been able to do many times in my life.
I will brag though. I am convinced my standing here isnt very good anyways so who cares. I get the love I get and deal with the hate.
Here and now though. I will brag.
I am awesome. Hard working, a savage in the truest form, honest, humble (not now lol) mostly. Helpful, thoughtful, and inspired by greater men and women than I will ever be. I am nonetheless compelled to shine, mofos.
EDIT TO ADD:
More bragging.
Hell, I have literally sent someone from ATS money once when they became homeless. didnt loan it. GAVE IT like a real G. It was every extra dollar I had at that moment. Never met em. Didnt talk ever.
I have stopped domestic violence situations in the street in bad neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Fought people jumping a single person. Helped blind bums walk for blocks in the summer while they reeked, Holding them like they were my grandmother. While responding to this thread I helped a woman who fell in the snow. Crossed the street to help her up. I am the guy helping all the moms with their strollers up the stairs. The guy giving his seat on a subway every time an elderly person, mother and kids, or handicapped person gets on. I am like the handful in the entire car. Maybe YOU are not even one of us.
I am the best me I can be sucker. Can you say that as you mock me?
I have stopped break ins and fought off the armed intruders with a effing dog as my only weapon. I chased them into their SUV and hung out the goddamn door until they dropped what they stole. Then I jumped out the moving vehicle like a freaking superhero. That was in the papers and I could even show clippings of that to other members here who met me in real life ( and I can trust with my identity) and can vouch for every word I just said.
I am great. Do you have any idea how hard it is to offer yourself, to commit yourself to doing the right thing like that? Its hard. So screw anyone who just doesnt get it.
You will never be like us. Its not that we are special. We just care and that makes us do god damned amazing things in the process.
To all the great people out there:
Rock on like the savage Kings and Queens you are.
