i don’t care if you live in new york city get normal about drug addicts sometime soon or jump in front of the trains
i promise you that person on fent bent over + swaying in rags is having a worse couple hours than you’ve ever had in your entire life. i promise you that person begging for money on the subway is going throughs something 1000% worse than you having to avoid their eyes while going to a restaurant. i swear on my life that person talking to themselves in public isn’t evil or the devil or going to kill you. i think you need to get the fuck over yourself and stop acting like you’re suuuchhh an NYC native and being afraid of all drug-heavy areas and posting videos of people on the trains like “only in the city! lol!”. i think you should learn how to either have some compassion or shut the fuck up
Remember: drug addiction is a form of desperate self medication, as is alcoholism. The wealthy use these things as an escape as well. People cannot be blamed for seeking any break they can get from PAIN, and the problem is whatever’s causing that pain, not them for attempting to flee from it.
