me & my friends were talkin about this some dayz ago....
could u ever picture yourself being literally homeless on the street?
i mean...well no one pictures themself homeless in advance...but do you think this is something that can be avoided??
this is what we were saying....a lot of people on the street (NOT ALL - MANY) are that way because their pride wouldn't allow them to ask family members, friends, etc. etc....for hand-outs, places to stay, etc. etc...
MY thing is THIS....i have a LOT of pride...& i'll admit, sometimez it getz me into trouble & i tend to be very thick-skulled about some thangz...
but this is one thing i could truthfully say i would NEVER let my pride lead to....esPECially if i have a family to take into consideration (& it ain't just me)....
how could u be too proud & embarassed to come to those close to you or those you know, but not too proud to stand out on the side of the street with a "i need food" sign in front of thousands of people everyday?!?!?
of course, there are so many circumstances that lead to homelessness....but this is speaking mostly on those who, in my opinion, don't have to be in that situation....or in other words, shoulda told their pride 2 SHUT THA HELL UP 4 2 secz...
ya'll feel me?
I feel you, my pride might get in the way a lot of times but in in a situation where you are gonna be homeless I'll put my pride to the side in a minute and ask anybody I know for a plcae to stay, a few dollars, something to eat. People shouldnt be embarassed about askin ya family for a place to stay. Man its ya FAMILY, and they should be there for you no matter what the situation is.
I would definately put up a fight to keep my head above the water. If all else fails, I wouldn't hesitate to go against the law in order to keep myself together. I can't see myself homeless. Its just not something I can mentally percieve.
Could i ever see myself homeless? yea i saw myself homeless a couple of times, but will i let myself get to that point no....We got to fight and strive for excellence
I don't think my pride would ever cause me to fall off like that. Everyone likes to do things on their own for the sense of accomplishment that goes with it, but if all else fails, ain't nothin wrong with a lil help. My pops is kinna like that.....he don't like to ask his family for stuff, and it kicks him in the **** a lot of times.
But alot of people are homeless for a lot of different reasons. Some are smart and were well on their way, but ran into a barrier that they just couldn't conquer, and it put them down......hard. Then some are just too lazy to do anything for themselves, so they just let all opportunities to do something slip by.
But me......I'd sooner beg my mom to let me live with her than be on the street.
