how it feels to be each sign

aries: when you’ve been ready to go for hours and everyone else isn’t even out of bed yet

taurus: when you wait happily for someone even if you’re tired but they can’t find the patience to wait for you

gemini: when you go to an antique store and want to look at everything but your friends get bored and leave you behind

cancer: that last bit of hope you hold onto even though you know something is going to go wrong

leo: when you give someone a really great present for their birthday but they don’t even remember yours

virgo: knowing exactly how something is going to play out but trying to convince yourself that it’ll go a different way

libra: when all your friends have relationship problems and you help them through it but you’re still single

scorpio: that sinking gut feeling when you see someone you like with someone else even though you know you’re better

sagittarius: when you want to ride the biggest roller coaster at the park but your friends are too afraid so you do it by yourself

capricorn: working on a project for weeks to make sure it’s perfect and someone else does better than you with half the effort

aquarius: when you feel manic or out of touch with reality but everyone else seems to be going along just fine

pisces: you’re the first to help a friend in need even if you don’t think they’d be there to help you

“Hey man, take my picture!”

“I can’t do it. It’s too dark.”

“Yeah, we need some light. Let’s go over there.”

“Are you homeless?”

“Yes, I am.”

“How long have you been homeless?”

“15 years. I’ve been in Boston 8 months. Before that I was in Washington, Virginia, New York, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Florida…”

“Why didn’t you stay in Florida? It’s so much warmer.”

“I wanted to see my family. But they don’t want to see me. They don’t understand depression. They treat me like dirt. Homeless people treat me better than my family.”

“And what happened 15 years ago? How did you end up on the streets?”

“I tried to burn myself twice. I had 30 surgeries. I was dead two times, but God brought me back. I don’t know why.”

“And why did you do it?”

“I was depressed. Why you crying?”

“Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I’ve been very depressed. I think I can understand you.”

“Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people’s pictures, don’t disrespect them.”

“No, man, I won’t. I like people. That’s why I take their pictures.”

“And when you make your portfolio, don’t denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves.”

“I will. Are you safe on the streets?”

“Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food.”

“That’s all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more.”

“No, man. It ain’t all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture.”

One of my favorite posts.

Reblogging for all the Black folks dealing with depression and mental illness. We have so little understanding and tolerance for it as a community. It can be very hard living as a depressed person in a community that doesn’t believe it exists.

Animals are better than people, look this dog trying to save the fish. Omg, it broke my heart.

This implies that the dog is intelligent enough to not only recognize that a fish lives in water, but that without water it is in danger/pain, and thirdly implies that this being (the dog) understands empathy. Think about that.
