THATS CONK CREET BABEY

Friendships as a teenager: we used to talk 5 hours every night now it’s down to 3… are we still friends 🤔? I wonder if they don’t like me anymore

Friendships as an adult: omg I’ve finally cleared up 20 minutes of my schedule to talk to my friend I haven’t spoken to in 4 months #bffs #we will find eachother in every life

me: if I become the evil overlord I will never harm my minions

Overheard in a thread about restaurants offering free meals.

"If people that don’t need it take it, it says something about them. If you don’t give because of the chance someone might take it that doesn’t need it, that says something about you."

This is the most successful way I have ever found to explain my take on panhandling. People are going to take advantage of you. That is unavoidable, it is just going to happen. But that's a them problem. Your act of kindness is not altered by someone else's deceit.

I read a book a few years back that permanently altered the way I think about this. A teenage boy gives freely to a stranger, and is asked why he would do that.

They Both Die At the End by Adam Silvera

Thank you for the recommendation!

also, frankly, if someone is asking for help who “doesn’t really need it”……idk. i don’t buy that. if someone is asking for help, i think they need it. maybe they don’t need my ten dollars specifically, maybe they actually need therapy or counseling or a babysitter or a break or a friend or a mentor or a safe place to sleep, or WHATEVER.

millionaires and people who are completely secure aren’t out there panhandling, is what i’m saying.

I'm someone who seems like she doesn't need any charity. I have a good office job, I have a car that runs, I live in an apartment I pay for. But also, there's free food in the lobby of the apartment or at the office a lot of days, and I take as much as I can get away with, because I know that ultimately, I'm *barely* making it all work. I can see how close I am to not having any of it.

Basically, if I lose one of those three things above, I'm kind of hosed. I mean, I have a good support system, but it would stress the hell out of that support system if I lost my job or got evicted or lost my car. And I don't want to do that. I'm doing fine.

A lot of us are "doing fine". My mom is "doing fine"... as long as I pay her electric bill and give her money for food every month.

So yeah, that bagel with cream cheese? That's a bagel I don't have to buy now. That donut? Free, baby! So yeah, I'm taking that free food and I'm eating it, and I'm thanking the person who brought it in while maybe sneaking some more up to my apartment to put in the fridge for later. Because I'm doing fine, but I'm not a fool.

If someone's willing to pretend to be homeless in a society that despises the homeless they probably need the help more than they're personally willing to admit honestly
