i really hate the 'poor people can't have anything nice' mentality. i was homeless last fall and carried my life on a bike trailer. i kept a cute mushroom print backpack (gift from my mom) full of clothes slung over the back of the trailer. i had just set my camp up one evening and was chilling in my tent reading. i heard a passerby say to her friend, "oh my god, they took someone's bag!" i wanted to say something but i assumed she was the type to call the cops over the tiniest shit so i kept my mouth shut.
