“I think it’s brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones aches for a rest

I think it’s brave that you keep on living even if you don’t know how to anymore

I think it’s brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight

I know there are days when you feel like giving up but I think it’s brave that you never do”

— Lana Rafaela

calling the cops on an unhoused person for being weird/rude/"scary" in public is so weird to me on such a fundamental level... like even before you get to political beliefs about jail and homelessness, you are beefing with a dude who has to live on the sidewalk. like sorry if he was rude to you dude sorry if he made you uncomfortable but to be fair he lives and sleeps on the fucking sidewalk. sorry if hes being too mentally unwell on the street late at night but like you gotta understand that he lives on the fucking sidewalk. sorry if he seems a little bit "off" today dude i think maybe its because he lives on the fucking goddamn sidewalk
