So this guy sits next to me on this bench on my break...
    #5677425 - 05/26/06 02:57 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

And he tells me his life story.  Not one of those bums that you see that ramble about random stuff, this guy was in his late 20's and had all his bags with him.  He told me how he came in from Philly to go to a rehab.  He has no family, nowhere to stay...just the clothes on his back and the bags in his hands.  He used to have a car, a house, a dog, a girl, a decent job...

Then he got addicted to pills and everything went downhill.  He has nothing left and nobody to turn to except his grandfather that was giving him a ride to the rehab.  He's sitting there, sober, looking me in the eye and telling me he doesn't want to start from scratch and he wants back what he once had. 

I dunno, I listened to his whole story and it felt like he really spoke to me.  I'm going through shitty money troubles; I have a saving problem and what happened today gave me a little push in the right direction.

When my break was up I shook his hand and told him "Good luck with shit, man."  I hope it works out for him.    :nonono:

I know, it's a cliche but suddenly my life doesn't seem so bad.

Yes, it's a comfort to know that no matter how bad things are, there's always someone who has it worse.
