Yep, you guessed it. I am a big softie and I am trying to change the world, well, I am trying. Earlier this week I watched a show on BBC about homelessness in London and what they go through. This made me think a lot about the subject because I for one do not want to become homeless ever as it must be a bad place to be in your life. One thing does bug me about homeless people and I suppose the few bad apples give them the bad rep they carry around with them. Whenever you dig into your pockets and hand someone money, they end up splurging it on either booze or drugs and that makes me furious as to why so I give away my hard earned money?

 Anyway, thinking about the show made me realise just how cruel people can be and that we should really try to make a difference in someone’s lives even if it is just temporary. There are hundreds of homeless people living in London and so many more from Europe end up on the streets in the hunt for a better life. I always tend to see large groups of men in summer time sleep in the small park close to my work. There is a smaller group that tend to sleep on the church steps from time to time. Then I get to see something good happen at other times where a charity delivers food and a hot drink to these homeless people at around 7am in front of Charing Cross Police Station.

I still have mixed feelings about homelessness but that would not stop me from buying someone food if they ask me for it but they won’t see a penny!
