He was tall, but I never really sad him stand up. He seemed VERY homeless and definitely somber/sad. I must have met him January this year or late last year on a bus on Geary/Powell area. I was too busy being a little freaked out because I was a little worried he might follow me off the bus. Wow I wonder if it was him! That would have been crazy.

Oh interesting prose! So my theory is there’s two main effects of growing up “with less” which presents two common spending/saving extremes in people. I don’t think it’s an Asian thing, maybe just a personality thing along with a baseline for security. I need a lot of security to a point it’s almost sad. I’ve visited your blog on several occasions, I don’t think you have a spending problem at all. Student loans are a hard but common sell and so are cars.

I understand what you mean. Forgiveness has never been easy for me. I’m an all or nothing person. Plus, (life)long term damage is harder to get over.

Ooh when was this? Ocean Eyes moved to Berk but he probably hangs around SF. Was he gorgeous, sad and 6 foot 3?!

That sounds pretty interesting to me! How do you and your family coexist with one another?! Hi NZ! ?

Uhh… my cast would be pretty dull, my family are all basically great $$ role models while my in laws are $$ train wrecks. Total opposites.

My mom is the one with the bad temper and our relationship is quite distant too because I’m withdrawn and irritable with her from her treatment pre-college. It’s something I’m trying to slowly get over, but I can’t say it’s easy! We’re all flawed, but I think in some ways I find forgiveness difficult. I definitely inherited stubborness from her :/

I met a homeless guy on the bus who wanted to hang out. Can’t remember if his eyes were like the ocean. He looked pretty worse for wear, but we talked for 15 minutes on the bus ride and he had also run away from home. I wonder if it was Ocean Eyes years later?
