Day 131

Confession: After wrapping on set today, I overheard two young men talk about how it’s fun to go “fuck around with homeless people”—laughing at treating them like creatures.

I wanted to say something but refrained. I feel such overwhelming guilt for not speaking up, like I could’ve helped them understand.

But I knew it wouldn’t come out kindly and there was a possibility I’d want to hit them. Neither would benefit, so I held my tongue, back turned to them. But if they saw my face they’d see my eyes close, breathing slowly in and out.

That’s my community. I’ve been homeless. In the exact area we were working in.
