I'll always love you, you'll always love me too, this love isn't good

unless it's me and you :)





So, today while I was walking to the el downtown i was stopped by 2 men named Mike and Marcus, who happen to be father and son and are homeless. I stopped and talked to them for a bit, gave them a cigarette, and went to walgreens and bought them toothpaste and a toothbrush, and Mike drew a picture of me while Marcus sang me a song. It was really cute and they were really nice guys, but I noticed that everyone walking down the street was looking at me like I was gross and disgusting. I was kind of confused, but didn't think anything of it. As I was leaving Marcus pulled me off to the side and told me that he sees me every day and asks me for change every day, and every day I either give him change, offer a cigarette, or smile at him and tell him I don't have anything, and he told me that the fact that I look at him like a human being and don't just look through him, means a lot to him and every time he sees me he smiles and realizes there are still good people in the world.

It makes me feel good knowing that someone in the world realizes that my intentions are good and I really have my heart in the right place, even though people never see it that way.



I think I need to restart thinking Uganda. At least for next summer.
