I'm chilling in the parking lot of the gym right now and it's very apparent that there is a couple next to me living in their car. At first I thought they were just getting it on - she brushed her teeth and they both leaned their seats back. But I, being the confused creeper I am, looked through my car window again only to realize they're sleeping. Then it hit me.

They're living in their fucking car in a gym parking lot.

I don't know why I'm hit so hard by this, I'm sure you all see it often, but fuck. It makes me sad.

I don’t know why I’m hit so hard by this

Cause you're a human being with empathy? Never let yourself think it's 'weird' to find this sort of thing horrifying. Or as someone much more eloquent said: "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine."

Ahh, Che.

Yes, you're right. It is fucked. I've just been told off by my friends sometimes like "yeah dude that's life" or other shit like that so I'm always hesitant to call it like it is

“yeah dude that’s life”

I hate that so much. No it's not life. You're not living that way, I'm not living that way and neither of us would accept if we were suddenly living that way. I understand, because it's a sort of learned helpness in a way I guess, but it still makes my blood boil because it is direct hostility towards those people.

I like to imagine everyone going 'okay!' making them switch all their belongings with those of the homeless person and see how 'normal' they think it is then.
