It breaks my heart every time.

There's something that just crushed me deep inside every time I see it... people begging on the street-- specially when they're with their kids.

Like the other day I saw a woman sitting on the sidewalk, holding a sign, her little kid curled up next to her trying to nap in the noise and the cold. And I just stood there, frozen, feeling this awful mix of sadness, guilt, and helplessness. I gave them what little cash I had, but it didn't feel like enough. It never does.

I know some people say stuff like ''they're just pretending'' or ''they'll spend it wrong,'' but honestly? When you see a child laying on the concrete, clearly hungry, tired, and probably scared... your heart doesn't ask for proof. You just feel the pain. You see the reality that not everyone gets to go home to warmth, food, and safety. And that's not something any kid should ever experience.

It messes with me. ike, we live in a world with billionaires and overpriced lattes and influencer giveaways... and yet there are families-babies- begging just to survive. How is that okay? How did we get here? I know sometimes it's because of the way they spend money, addictions and stuff but it still seems unfair. Those people need help.

It ruins my days sometimes, ike I can't enjoy stuff anyome. Because I know I get to go inside, eat, scroll my phone, lay in bed... and they're still out there. And I hate that I can't fix it because I do not have enough money to.

I don't really have a point or solution. I just needed to say it. To say that it hurts. That it matters. And that those people aren't invisible- not to me, and not to anyone with a heart.

If you ever see someone in that situation, and you can help-even just a snack, a kind word, a coind- please do. It might not change everything, but it changes something.
