I just read the quote below and it really resonated with me. We all suffer in our own way, but those that suffer the most are the ones that have known homelessness. I’ve been homeless and it’s not fun.

When you’re homeless you have nowhere to go. You have to use the bathroom on the street if it is really late and you can’t hold it in, and you don’t want to sh**t on yourself.

At any rate, read the poem below and be sure to post a comment to let us know how you have suffered in your life.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (via purplebuddhaproject)”
