Her humanity is something to admire. 

She's truly deserving of the title "inspiration" :wub:

Whimsical bitch

Actually, she looks really annoyed, probably the person asked for money.

This is why I love this woman. She's so sweet and down to earth. I try to channel her sweet and giving nature everyday in my life. Homeless-ness is a real problem in NYC. We have one of the most expensive housing markets in the U.S. When I still lived there, there were days I laid awake at night wondering how I could afford yet another rent increase. When I go back there for holidays, I always try to donate a dollar here and there to the homeless. My friends always ask me "why" and it's like "trust me I've come so close to being in their situation before".

I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you

KURUSHITOVSKA

Well after 3 times she's been here in Barcelona, she's never stopped to sign a single autograph at her hotel when she knew we were waiting, but there weren't any press so I understand it. And I love how humble she always is but I also miss when she does it everywhere and not when I am actuall there. I am her fan too.

¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?

There is always room to care and to be a decent person, just keep an eye on Gaga and you will learn the way, she's an actual angel, but tries not to exploit it. :wub:

The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

Economy

Im afraid to give ppl on the streets money because 99% of them spend it on alcohol

 

Welfare is suffient to at least get ur most basic needs... Healthcare is free and even dental provisions can be made to people without means...

 

I cant think if many legitimate reasons why people would end up in the streets if they arent addicts of something 

 

But theres theres a small percentage with some unique circumstance that might of caused it and u never know who they might be 😔

Many addicts have mental health issues. I have worked in the mental health field for a while, and even have members of my family who suffer from severe diagnoses, and can name MANY people who would end up homeless if they didn't have a support system of family and/or friends. 

So yes, there are many legitimate reasons of why people are on the streets and they're not addicted. However, mental health problems that are left untreated and unsupported can lead to drug addiction, and living homeless with no hope can ALSO push someone into taking drugs and becoming addicted. 

You never know why someone is homeless or why they are addicted or whether or not addiction is what actually caused them to be homeless. It's best not to make assumptions.
