until i was like 19-20, there was this frumpy middle aged woman always begging at this one major corner. some days, shed have four-five retardedass charcoal drawings of randomness on 8.5x11s, but mostly she just rocked back & forth with a 1000 yard stare & a begging hat. once in a while, youd see her walking up & down said main street, swaying & shit
either only noticed her probably around 13-14 or she appeared around then. anyway, at around 16-17, was walking down a residential street sidewalk & noticed this very normal looking woman leaving a decent house & walking to her car. there were two cars there, actually - it was the homeless lady, but in regular clothes. i am like 99.95% sure that it was her & we even locked eyes for a second shes probably seen me too, seeing as shes not actually gone in the head. she had a house with two cars all along lol.. homeless hustle
