When I saw her slumped against a building on the street, I thought she was dead. Then she groaned, so I gave her money. Just a few coins, but she thanked me and I took her picture. Usually I feel like an idiot- a conceited, western jerk- taking pictures of people's misery. 'It's not a fucking zoo', I want to scream at the silly american tourists laughing and snapping pictures of everything they see. However, something seemed ok about this one, so I took it.
You know...Something about this is just so...
Wow. Like, really. Enough photographs of people with perfect skin, with damn silicon injections and make up and stuff. Just once, I like to see people the way they really are. Pure and imperfect. And weathered with age, wisdom...*reminesces*

Dont ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman Can't make an omelette without killing a few people.
There really was something beautiful about this woman. She kind of looks like a tree, she's so... gnarly. Her voice was like some kind of animal, too. She spoke low and raspy. I'll remember her forever.

she is beautiful. not in the perfect way, but in the 'i have so many stories to tell you, but you dont care enough to listen' way. she is better than us.
theres somethin about this one that really hits deep.its strange to think that this person exists in our world and needs help that we could give her it we gave the time.she does have a natural beauty about her.id love to know her and see her as a child.i bet she would break a few hearts
