Beautiful hearts.

I just wanna share a story today. I got to witness something very moving. There are so many homeless people here in NYC. And it's sometimes hard to believe who is actually telling the truth. Some people appear to be homeless or struggling, and yet, there might not be telling the truth. You never know, right?! Once a couple approached me and told me that their luggage went missing and don't know how to get back home. I wasn't sure what to expect. They seemed like they might be telling the truth. And yet, I didn't know what to do. Some people just sit on the side of the street and post up a sign explaining how they are broke or being homeless or this and that. You see people on the train explaining how they need money. You hear stories about how some people pretend to be homeless and once they are out of sight, they dress nice and get on their nice shiny Mercedes. It's very sad, isn't it?!

So today, there's a homeless guy, sitting on the edge of the side walk. He had a sign and seemed very out of it. And elder guy was talking to him. The homeless guy seemed to be in his mid 30s or so, the elder guy was probably in his 60s or early 70s.  I didn't hear their whole conversation, or what the elder man was telling him. What I heard was "Don't spend it on one day, k?!". That was it. He hand him the money folded up. And that was $50 bill. Not a dollar or 5 dollars, or even 20 dollars. It was 50 dollar bill. How many people can do that?! People struggle, especially in this city. People need to hustle a lot. Many people have more than one job just to get by. Sure he could have been a tourist. But does that matter?! A) He actually took a time to stop and talk to him. B)He handed him a $50 bill. It almost brought me to tears.

Even though the world seems like a messed up place, there are still people like that left in this Universe. It's not done yet. You might be struggling. You might be having the worst day of your life. But if you can, remember that there are many people who'd die to be where you are at. There are many people who have beautiful heart. And that beautiful heart can bring more happiness in your life. Be beautiful from inside. Smile more often. Be kind to one another. Life is beautiful.

Love,
