About a month or two back I was in Giant at the check out counter. In front of me was a girl with a FULL back pack paying for a couple of cans of food and one or two other things. I wouldn't have paid too much attention to her had I not noticed her cart. Her cart was filled with bins (of her stuff, I presume). That is when I realised that she was homeless. Looking at her or her clothes I would never have guessed so. I remember thinking then that she probably was recently rendered homeless, perhaps due to the economy.
Today, I was walking to the building from the N2 bus stop and I saw a homeless girl with her cart. When I looked closer, it was the same girl I had seen in Giant a month or so back. However, now, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was matted and she looked exhausted. :(
Situations like these, slap you with the reality of life. It reminds you to be thankful for what you have, to appreciate everything you are able to do, because you just never know when everything you know can just slip away from you.

So sad :(
