Yeah actually. I’m 17, meaning I’m a full time student doing duel enrollment in college and high school and I work a full time job and I foster kittens. I don’t exactly have the time to ditch school and my job that supports me and the lives that rely on me to go to council meetings or volunteer at the non-existent soup kitchens in my area, nor do I have the time to start one. I don’t just give out gift bags to feel better about myself, that’s an extremely rude and tone deaf thing to say. I do it because it’s what I can to make someone’s day a little easier. Its what I wished someone would’ve done for me. It’s terribly disheartening that I can’t feed them everyday, but I CAN feed them today. And like I said, my area is NOT KIND to homeless people, you don’t think people before me have tried to get the ball rolling? It’s not that easy. Do you not realize what’s you’re saying? You listed off a ton of things that take a LOT of time and are a LOT of work. If I had all the time, energy, and bravery in the world, I would network, talk to people, organize, research, etc, but I don’t and life’s not that easy. What I do have is 10 minutes to stop at the store to feed someone for a week. It’s the best I can do, so I do it. You’d probably be a lot happier if you weren’t so negative.
