Day 5.

Today was an eventful day. It was fun and really great to spend time with people that make me happy :) Mm well after we all split, I was gonna go home, but decided to go to SoHo and look for a friend's gift. I went in and out a bunch of stores, but didn't find what I was looking for. Made my way to St Mark's and I went into the 8th St train station, but one without those booths. I swiped but it said swipe again, I did and it said swipe again..freaking like 5 times then someone was behind me so I let him go first. Same thing happened to him the first time, but the second time around, he got through. So I tried another 5 more times and it didn't work so I decided to go to the main station which said my MetroCard was just used. I turn around and the booth was empty cause of budget cuts. REALLY? I wasn't that tired and this never happens - New Yorkers get through in one swipe! - so I thought God didn't want me to take the train at that time so I walked back to Prince St and figured my MetroCard will be useable then. I was just in my own thoughts figuring out what, if any, act of love I did today. I saw a homeless gentleman, but he walked into a Starbucks. I was walking away, but as I turned around I saw that he was just standing inside. I walked back to ask him if he wanted something hot to drink but he just mumbled something so I asked him again and he just said "Get away from me" really really sternly so I just walked away. But on my walk, I saw another homeless man. I asked him if he wanted something to eat or drink, but he said he already had something so I just gave him a dollar.

Why is it (sometimes) easier to be loving to strangers than to people we actually know?

HAHA.
