I thought I had attachment issues

until I met someone who loved her man so much

… She followed him into homelessness…

For 2 years. 🙀 (I guess I’m not so bad.)

I’ve been gentle with her.

… And I let her know that she really doesn’t have to do all that.

We had a good time talking, sharing some food and taking some walks together. I enjoy acts of service as a love language in general and that im reaching out as a woman cuz it doesn’t really sit right with me to see women on the streets. (it’s rare where I am.)

I asked her if she could share some of what’s going on and what she needs so I can see if I’m in any place to help. She said she has some teeth issues. Periodontis or something.

I’m in south Florida. She lives on the side of a Home Depot in Davie with a bunch of men in a part of town I had never been to until I needed to go buy some more moon cakes from a different Asian market.

I’m gonna be reaching out to Nova university to see if I can help facilitate some dental needs she has cuz it seems kinda serious? She said she had moon pies for breakfast and ring pops to eat and I gently told her no more of that and she should be eating real food.

I love men but I would never love a man enough to get to that point.

She said it’s hard to make friends out there and I thought she was very sweet and easy to talk to.

Capitalism makes us leave people behind in society which makes our humanity and kindness crucial in order to cultivate a better world we actually want to be in.

I offered some options and help for her (some people are happy on the streets so I let her know she has choices.) I know she probably didn’t want to hear it but I told her she’s going to outgrow him and she’s going to have to eventually leave him.

We’ve been hanging out in small bouts so as not to overwhelm either of us so we can build some trust and a relationship cuz I do not plan on leaving her there.

I told her that someone who truly loves her wouldn’t have her sleeping on a sidewalk, have moon pies for breakfast, ring pops for lunch, panhandling in the sun and carrying broken teeth.

I paid her for some simple work, got some supplies for her and I’m letting her have some time away from me to sit on what I told her.

I’m not perfect but I can still help her while I help myself, too.

It’s not easy to leave the people we love but … I asked her if this was what she had in mind before she left Puerto Rico to be in America. I asked her if she planned to have her 30th anniversary with him on the side of Home Depot.

I’m not usually this direct but I think she needed to hear that. I hope she knows that I love her and I want her to have a softer and easier life like she deserves.

I was chatty today so I will stream later at some point. Have a great week, everybody !
