i hung out with this homeless guy paul and his staffie polo when i visited my sister in scotland for a few weeks. i didn't want to support his drinking but i took him to the grocery store a couple times and got them some proper food, for both of them. i mostly hung around for the dog. he was very weary of basically all people in general, but the first time we met he snuggled up and slept on my lap. i miss him
I probably shouldn't support their drinking habits but if I was sleeping on carts on my birthday I would want a drink too
I gave him my number, told him it has to be platonic but if he ever needs someone to talk to I'm down
Also that's a lovely story thanks for sharing, always nice to give peace to ppl who have it rough
i mean it's not my place to tell anyone how to spend their lives/money, i always feel iffy about people getting me wrong and thinking i'm being condescending or something. nothing wrong with buying the guy a drink, and maybe i'd have had some drinks with paul and his crew if the dog wasn't clearly highly stressed around intoxicated people.
you seem like a very kind person honestly. you must've made his day. also i applaud you for actually being there for other human beings struggling, and ALSO for making sure he knows what you (don't) want it to be. v cool!!
Idk I feel a little weird being praised, I cant be sure I'm doing the right thing and also like homeless ppl are ppl too, idk why ppl shit on them imagine being where they're at
