Homeless People

[kitkatjessika]

I wonder if anyone here is as touchy about homeless people as I am.
When I was in Chicago last weekend, I was walking down Michigan Ave. and there were A LOT of homeless people, anyone who has been there probably knows what I'm talking about. Well there was this skinny 14-15 yr old black girl there wrapped up in a few blankets with a sign that said "I'm Just Hungry" right across the street from Tiffany's. Even though I must've seen at least 25 homeless people that day, for some reason this image sticks clearly in my mind, and thinking about it actually brings tears to my eyes. Up until recently, seeing homeless people out on the streets was quite the unfamiliar thing to me. even though there are many homeless people in Detroit, most of them are in shelters of some sort, or at least, not where I can see them. Something about that image though... It is literally horrifying. I am loosing sleep over this, (as if I didn't have enough problems tacked on to my agenda.)

How does stuff like that make you guys feel?
